Guardiola sets new record with City’s victory against Chelsea

Manchester City manager Josep Pep Guardiola has created another record as a gaffer. He’s now recorded more victories than any other manager in the club’s history. Pep Guardiola and his players had their pound of flesh taken from Chelsea, another title contender at lunchtime as the European champions were beaten by the English champions with a solitary goal being enough to settle the tie. The victory against Chelsea was Pep;'s 221st wins since taking the job of Manchester City in the summer of 2016. The win against the Blues at Stafford Bridge made him eclipse the record set by former Manchester City coach Les McDowall with 220 wins during his 13-year period as City gaffer, with one of his seasons spent in the second tier of English football. Pep Guardiola’s said “I am so proud....

Manchester City’s pursuit of Harry Kane is not over yet

The Blue side of Manchester are not giving up on their pursuit of Tottenham’s goal poacher Harry Kane. It has been reported that they will resume the race to sign the striker in January after failing to acquire the England captain during the summer transfer window.

Man City will ruin you! – Villa fans warn Jack Grealish

Aston Villa fans have warned Jack Grealish that his career would be ruined if he makes the move to Manchester City this summer. The Citizens have reportedly made a bid of £100 million to Aston Villa and they are expected to accept the offer. The transfer would break the British transfer record if it is completed according to Sky Sports. It can be recalled that the English midfielder extended his contract with the Villans for another 5 years in September 2020 and this was supposed to keep him at Villa Park until 2025. However, the decision to accept Man City's bid means that Grealish must make a major decision ahead of the 2021/22 season.

Therefore, they are looking to add more creativity to a side that already boasts the likes of Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, and Kevin De Bruyne. The bid should be accepted by Villa as I don't see them rejecting such a huge offer for the 25-year-old Englishman who is also the captain of the team. READ: Live...
