Apparently Man City are now known as Middle Eastlands. Not very politically correct, but made me laugh :rofl:

Makes sense - Chelsea became Chelski after their takeover and Man United became "The Manchester Redsox" when the Glaziers turned up (even though United's "sox" aren't red).

I wonder what they would have been named if they were still at Maine Road???

Guess it means the end of this joke:

Man City's trophy room was broken in to last night and the theives made off with the contents.

Police are appealing for anyone who saw 2 men walking down the road carring a blue carpet.

yayyy robinho signed for the all might Citizens last night...sneaked it just under chelseas nose but i do have a worry that robinho wanted to sign for chelsea like 2 days ago but because calderon didnt allow him to move to chelsea he opted for city instead...is he using city as a stepping stone to be united with scolari...mmm so much drama lol oh and btw we are now the richest club in the world lol muahahaah

p.s sorry just read previous posts and i see that robinho signing has already been covered...and imagine how good the city line up on fifa 09 on ps3 will look...cant wait for october 3rd (fifa 09 release)...

bit of a strange time to sack the manager as whoever comes in now will have to get to know the players and can't buy anyone either. Not too convinced this Ashley bloke knows how to run a club.

Having Wise and Keegan was never a good move in the fist place, adds another team to the relegation candidates now

Has anyone heard from Graeme Rix about the Newcastle job?

Unwritten Rule of football #47 - whenever there's a management position going at any club, Graeme Rix's spokesperson has to officially rule him out of contention for the job, even if he never was in the running in the first place.

Ashley is a bit clueless, but he didn't sack Kev, he walked himself due to the transfer policies.

Its a bit of a shame as Kev is a nice guy and given the chance, could really make an impact in the Premier League. Still, on the other hand, we are playing them shortly, so with a bit of luck they'll be in disarray.

Apparently there's an angry gathering outside SJP right now, but I hope they are looking to lynch Ashley than Keegan.

No idea, but it brings a new slant to the phrase 'Local Dhabi'... :erm:

I am not sure if Keegan has gone or not.
NUFC website says he has not been sacked
