Weight loss challenge for Brain Tumour Research (66 days)

October 8, 2012 admin About the club, Committee, Finance, Fund Raiser, Information No comments

I am doing a 2 month weight loss challenge for Brain Tumour Research.

This weight loss will include no crisps, no chips, no chocolate, no alcohol, no sausage butties and no Friday fry ups – going to be very tough!

I am determined to make a difference for this charity, I start on Friday 12/10/2012 and finish on 17/12/2012 (Total 66 days)

I have setup a donations page on the following link: www.justgiving.com/Brain-Tumour-Research-Weight-Loss-Challenge

I will weigh in on the morning of Friday 12/10/2012 and will be looking for people to sponsor me.

I am currently over 100Kg and hope to lose approx. 10Kg in the 2 month period (I figured if people sponsor say 50p or £1 per kilo that works out as about a £5 or £10 donation)

I really appreciate any donation.

City v Sunderland (League) – Sat 06 Oct [3v0 win]

October 7, 2012 Jim.Stuart Matches No comments

My first City game. City v Sunderland 6/10/2012 by Jim Stuart

A perfect game for me to see the Blues in the flesh for the first time.From the first whistle City dominated the game in a style which was much in evidence for most of last season and what a pleasure it was for me to be there to witness a brilliant team performance. All through the game I kept pinching myself to see if I was dreaming. Me? At the Etihad to see the champions? Never, but there I was watching City in awe at the sheer size of the stadium to getting to see some of the best players in the world it had to be a dream but it wasn’t it was reality and from another Kolarov rocket to Milner’s late third it was all over far too soon. I wanted to stay for more. I have the bug now that I was told I would get and I can’t wait for the Spurs game In November and hopefully many more in the future. A very special day and one which I will never forget

City v Dortmund (UEFA CL) – Wed 3 Oct [1v1 draw]

October 7, 2012 admin Matches No comments

Unbelievable how good the Dortmund fans were, must have been several thousand in our end! They never stopped the entire match, bouncing clapping, drumming and singing in a sea of yellow. Noisiest fans I have seen at Etihad.

Hat off to them! It’s going to be very difficult if we need to get something in Dortmund to go through

We were outplayed by the team and the fans but a heroic performance from Hart meant we picked up a point with a late Balotelli penalty.

Honoured to meet ex-City player Gerry Gow, lovely guy and a hard nut on the pitch

Pleasure to meet ex-City player Gerry Gow last night, to quote my friend

Stuart Williams One tough player in the heart of our midfield. Took no prisoners. A good buy for our club and served us well. Always gave 100%. He wouldn’t last 10 minutes in today’s game before being red carded.
One of my fave players as a nipper.
My Dad’s favourite player at the time. ( mine were Steve Mackenzie & Big Joe) ;-)
Memories are vague but I must have seen him play more than half a dozen times.
You know when a player give’s it his all, when they only spend a relatively short time at a club, but are fondly remembered many years later.
He was definitely a crowd favourite at Maine Road

City v Borussia Dortmund

October 3, 2012 admin Matches No comments

After a tough first outing in Champions league City were again rewarded a group of death

Tonight’s match City v Borussia Dortmund kicks off at 7:45

Heading down on the train now and the nerves are starting to build up, this really is a massive game already!

This will be a crucial match after Dortmund picked up 3 points in the last outing versus Ajax and we slipped up in the last minute away at Madrid.

Dortmund are fresh from a convincing win at the weekend and City coming off a great result at Craven Cottage versus Fulham.

The Dortmund fans travel in numbers and have a very vocal support, let’s hope City are up for it today!

The biggest threats from Dortmund from an attacking perspective will come from Lewandowski and Goetze. Defensively they are very solid with Hummels and Subotic both rocks in central defense!

I’d like to see Lescott and Kompany at the back today and Aguero and Dzeko; but this may be deemed to attacking

Tough to leave Tevez and Nasri out but loads of options from the bench including Balotelli
