Can you <deleted> believe it. I've just got to Abu Dhabi, trotted over to the lounge and asked for a nice cold beer. "Sorry sir, cannot serve alcohol until 7:30pm due to Ramadan". 8 minutes to go. I want City to pull the plug on Etihad after this. Bladdy ridiculous, all I want is a real beer after being in Saudi.

happened to me too last week that mate. the staff in abu dhabi airport didn't even have any sympathy for my 'but i'm not a muslim so don't adhere to ramadan - now can i have a cold beer please?' explanation.

The thing is, Alcohol doesn't have anything to do with it. Nothing should pass through their lips during sunlight hours but they serve food and drink all day, just not alcohol.

yeah that's what i thought. can't have a beer in the airport but you can have a burger king double whopper or a big fuc_koff slice of pizza. caffeine no problem but alcohol, no sir.

I blame Ryan Giggs

You spend all day drinking moonshine in Riyadh anyway mrboj....don't deny it.

[sumrit]

According to a report on Talksport

Manchester City are keen on bringing in South Korean left-back Yun Suk-Young, 22, as back-up for Gael Clichy, with Aleks Kolarov expected to leave the Blues.

Looks like they're trying to sell a few shirts in the far east

That's why I was desperate for some real stuff smokes.

MANCINI: SELL BALOTELLI AND I'M OFF

MANCHESTER CITY have rejected a £40m bid for Mario Balotelli from Paris St Germain after Roberto Mancini threatened to quit.

PSG boss Carlo Ancelotti made Balotelli one of his top targets and was confident of luring the Italian striker to France.

But his huge offer was snubbed when Mancini told his bosses he would walk out on the Premier League champions if his fellow Italian was allowed to leave.

Anyone know what channel the community shield is on?

Anyone know what channel the community shield is on?

Its on the Money channel, and the game if ends in a draw will be decided by comparing who has spent the most money to get where they are instead of a penalty shoot out, should be really interesting.

And a comment from a fan of a team who are thinking of naming rights to the ground like being touted for us too,but old trafford or anfield being named anything else would be a shame.

I really hope that Andrex win the naming rights for OT

Just been announced City's first signing this transfer window is Jack Rodwell,, huge signing that really going to take city to the next level.

[StevieH]

jack rodwell for something between 15m and 20m? seems a strange signing.

Agree it is a strange signing, they are stating 18m, i think he will be a bench warmer at that, and on a everton board i read they are not exactly crying about him going.

[aitch52]

Sorry to see him leave Goodison but I wish him well, maybe David Moyes will have something to play with in his war chest now. Really did not want to see any of the squad go, but if it means we hang on to Baines and Fellaini then it's not so bad.

[nev]

I was worried they would sign De Rossi or Javi Marinez, so i am very happy they have spent on rodwell. and he is reported to have trippled his wages to a six figure sum, good another average player they will find hard to off load later on.

[aitch52]

Yeah Nev, he will get his Bentley, a Mansion and a bench, shame but the mighty dollar is King.

[StevieH]

ties in with this move mancini seems to be making to trying 3-4-1-2 some matches. as does his trying to get agger in too. agger deal looks dead by the way, which is good for us.

[smokie36]

Shit defending for the goal mrboj....in fact you're looking well rusty today.

Edited August 12, 2012 by smokie36

Good game that in the end...well done Citeh.

nev. surely you understand that we are short defensively?

Savic is an accident waiting to happen!!!

Not so long ago Ferguson wanted Rodwell for 10 mill plus Carrick!!

He is a good young ENGLISH player. Cant say i am ecstatic but its a good buy!!

If he is over the injurys he has had, he is one for the future

Jack you are starting to sound like a Red 18 Million is way to much for a bench warmer.....the truth is United and all other teams will be happy if he is in your team this season regularly
