Manchester City!!!

I very nearly forgot to endulge myself with a blog about my beloved Manchester City I know it has nothing to do with the Guild but I live and die with the football club I have supported since I was a baby and their fortunes often dictate my mood. I am obviously ecstatic at the moment after the Abu Dhabi takeover and world domination awaits! I believe my colleague Mark Smith recently mentioned this in his blog so Mark, if we do lose Robinho to Chelsea in January I'm not worried as I'm sure when Arsenal fall out of the Champions League after the group phase Cesc Fabregas will come knocking on our Sheikh's door and join a real football club! In the meantime let me share a recent opinion expressed by a Manchester City fan on one of our local websites which should permeate the mind of our VPEA Tom Marley every time he visits a petrol station...

'Anyway, be of good cheer, as every time a Rag (United fan) fills up his petrol tank...he adds to our transfer budget. I would like to thank all the Rags for contributing to the Messi-Kaka fund (and I'm not talking about the contents of Fergies shorts when he finally figures out what is happening). Just think about it Rags: at the pump, when you see the little numbers whirl around before your sozzled cockerney eyes, that's our bank balance going up up up and I thank you for your contribution.'

And I will add my thanks to every united fan who fills up their car at the pump, 'We've got Robinho!' Sorry for the wavering from Guild updates - it won't happen too often!
