Man City-Newcastle Live Blog
By: Patrick |Ok, I’ve been a very, very bad blogger. I guess TheOffside isn’t in great shape considering they haven’t canned me after not posting for a month. Although I don’t get paid or anything, so I guess they don’t care that much.
Anyway, I have missed a lot of juicy things, from Stephen Ireland’s grandma dying (NOT!) to Sven being linked to Chelsea (which might make sense in about eight months, really, it might).
So all that said, I’m back (for now). City and Castel play in about 10 minutes and I will try to liven up the match with some coments as the game goes on. Here we go.

Bristol City-Man City Live Match Blog
By: Patrick |A little Carling Cup action today, with Manchester City playing Championship side Bristol City. We’ll see how this works, should be fun.

A legend praises Richards, and an EPL draft?
By: Patrick |Big match for England today (Prediction: England 1, Germany 0), but in the leadup to the match at Wembley, Alan Shearer has given his two cents (look on the bottom) on Micah Richards.
Also, just for debate sake (and I know this is very “American” of me), but if everyone in the EPL were to get dropped from their clubs, and the players were then reclaimed in a draft - where would Richards go?
Not a bad week to start a Man City blog
By: Patrick |So I’ve been reading TheOffside.com for the last couple of months, and was thinking about joining in as a blogger. My strategy was to wait a couple of weeks, see what club in the English Premiership would be worth spending an absurd amount of time on, and then jump on the bandwagon.
Well…my choice was pretty easy.
