Manchester City fans haven't had much to complain about this season. And though Pep Guardiola 's record-breaking squad is already the best in the Premier League, the Catalan coach is set to add to it with Napoli midfielder Jorginho and Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez top of his likely incoming list. But there will be departures - and City fans think they know who they should be. Club legend Yaya Toure has already gone as a free agent after picking up his third Premier League winner's medal with the club. And we polled City fans on who else should be sold or moved on this summer. Unsurprisingly, there aren't many who Blues supporters want to see pushed out. But two players who have been loaned out in recent seasons head a list of four. Almost 93% of those polled think central defender Eliaquim Mangala should leave the Etihad. And not many fewer (90.6%) think Joe Hart should go with him. Hart has spent the last two seasons away from City on loan Torino and then West Ham, with … [Read more...] about Manchester City fans vote to sell four players in summer transfer window

Manchester City fans invade pitch to celebrate Premier League title win
Manchester City fans partied on the pitch to celebrate their Premier League title win. City put the icing on their superb season in their first match since officially claiming the title last weekend. The 5-0 win against Swansea marked the first opportunity for City's fans to celebrate becoming champions on a matchday. Following the full-time whistle, thousands of supporters charged onto the pitch to greet the squad and congratulate them on their third Premier League crown. Players were ushered off the pitch and down the tunnel by security guards - but many were happy to stop for selfies and high fives with the fans. After the squad had left the pitch, many supporters remained on the pitch singing and celebrating, before eventually being forced back out of the ground by security staff. City turned on the style and moved closer to rewriting the Premier League record books in their first game since being crowned champions. Pep Guardiola's side ran amok at the Etihad Stadium, piling more … [Read more...] about Manchester City fans invade pitch to celebrate Premier League title win
Kompany’s rousing speech in pub packed full of Manchester City fans
Vincent Kompany gave a rousing speech in a pub full of Manchester City fans after the Blues were confirmed as Premier League champions. City have won the title for the third time after West Brom's shock win at Old Trafford on Sunday gave Pep Guardiola's side an unassailable lead at the top of the table. Kompany watched the game with his wife's family, some of whom are Manchester United fans, and used Periscope on the club's Twitter account from the celebrations after the game. He then spoke to Sky Sports before heading to a pub with Kyle Walker and Fabian Delph, packed full of City fans. And he gave a rousing speech, turning the air blue as he celebrated City's first title triumph since 2014. He said: "If there are kids in the room, cover their ears or send them out! "It's been a f***ing long journey. Especially if you have been a Blue for more than 40 years in your heart. "But tonight - we win it again! So let's celebrate together. Come on!" As Kompany celebrated after the game, he … [Read more...] about Kompany’s rousing speech in pub packed full of Manchester City fans
Manchester City fans have BIG role to play now
Vincent Kompany has called upon Manchester City fans to keep the faith - and urge their team on to two famous victories. The Blues skipper has appealed for the Blues' support to help lift the players as they head into a Manchester derby which could end with them winning the Premier League title. And the big defender refused to believe that the Champions League quarter-final dream is over, despite Liverpool's 3-0 lead from the first leg. A fervent atmosphere at Anfield undoubtedly played its part in inspiring Liverpool to a first-half blitz of the Blues. And Kompany wants City fans to raise the roof at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, as they seek a miraculous comeback. Asked what the response of the City fans would mean, Kompany replied: “It’s everything. It’s everything. “I’ve seen it happen. Big games, big nights, they have always shown up and this will be one of them. “It’s been all nice and easy looking from the outside. It’s not been … [Read more...] about Manchester City fans have BIG role to play now
The Manchester City fans who make the game beautiful
Football is about the players, of course it is, but without fans there would be no point in playing the beautiful game professionally. I’ve been attending games regularly for all my adult life, averaging about one hundred per season, and travelling home and away with Manchester City. To me the enjoyment of the sport is central, and even when the Blues were in the doldrums, I enjoyed the football, believe it or not, but I also learned to appreciate the things that made my sport so special off the field and the pleasure, for me, centred around the City fans. I assume everyone has their own match-day rituals. I certainly do. As well as wearing my lucky shirt, it’s always great to see familiar faces and friends. There’s Pete the Badge, who you can’t fail to spot in his City suit, covered from head to toe in sky blue, and there’s the sound of 'King of the Kippax' shouted around stadiums where City play, home and away, by their ever enthusiastic, loyal sellers. … [Read more...] about The Manchester City fans who make the game beautiful
