David Silva's Left Foot: January 2012
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 25 January 2012. Khaldoon: Stop congratulating one another and meet our terms. I've said it before, and I'll say it again; Khaldoon Al Mubarak oozes class and authority. He doesn't often speak to the press about anything, and the last time he spoke publicly was exclusively for mcfc.co.uk at the end of last season. But now, with under a week to go in the January tran. We have an agreement with Tevez and we have recently sent an email to City with our offer. We are only in talks with Milan.".

David Silva's Left Foot: March 2012
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 March 2012. Mike Calvin showing himself up a bit. I've not done a piece like this for a while, but I read something today that just made me think "what the actual f* k are you talking about? Step forward Mike Calvin, Sports Writer of the year and Sports Reporter of the year twice over. In other words, he's a respected sports journalist. However you would be hard pressed to see why after reading his article in. And why is this, Mike? It would offer an immediate insight into the tiny mind of Mar...

David Silva's Left Foot: December 2011
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 December 2011. Sunderland v Manchester City. City kick off the new year travelling North East to Sunderland who it's fair to say haven't really been up to scratch so far this season. Hence the sacking of Steve Bruce and the hiring of Martin O'Neill. That hasn't always worked for teams as we've seen, but it certainly makes it more difficult for City to break through, and I suspect that may be how O'Neill will look to thwart City's advances on Sunday. The 2 main headaches will be the full-back...

David Silva's Left Foot: November 2011
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 November 2011. City's unique College partnership. City are just buying a 1st team. Why don't City bring through youth like United? Why would any young player want to. How many times have we heard those statements in recent years? Such evidence is the reason for this post. Manchester City have publicly announced their partnership with St Bede's College, a rather distinguished local educational establishment, which began last September. "What's the big deal? I hear you say. Now they are all at t...

David Silva's Left Foot: Manchester City v Blackburn Rovers: Post-match thoughts
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2012/02/manchester-city-v-blackburn-rovers-post.html
Sunday, 26 February 2012. Manchester City v Blackburn Rovers: Post-match thoughts. Have you ever witnessed a more one sided game in all your life? I don't think I have in my reasonably short 27 years of it. For around 70 minutes of the game, City had about 86% of possession. It ended with 78% possession, 28 attempts on goal. The shots that City did have on target (apart from the goals) generally brought pretty good saves out of Paul Robinson, who is said to be reconsidering his international retirement&#...

David Silva's Left Foot: Abdul Razak
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2012/08/abdul-razak.html
Wednesday, 8 August 2012. It's great to see players from your club play their part in their national sides, and these days City have more than they used to. But however good it is to see Balotelli ripping apart a German defence or Silva picking up another winner's medal I would assume we're all thinking something along a similar lines while they're on international duty; "Please don't get injured". Razak has featured for City 5 times in the past with 2 Premier League appearances as a substitute and 3 in ...

David Silva's Left Foot: Pre-Season Prep Begins.
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2012/07/pre-season-prep-begins.html
Thursday, 5 July 2012. Pre-season training begins up and down the country, save those who went to Poland and Ukraine for Euro 2012 and the players who will be competing in the Olympics. The media start to crank up the rumours even more than before, fans look eagerly towards the ones circling their own Club despite knowing full well that the vast majority of them are nothing but half arsed passages to fill a gap in a tabloid newspaper. Another persistent rumour has been the interest in our little magician...

David Silva's Left Foot: August 2011
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 August 2011. End of an era for Shauny. Transfer deadline day (31/08/2011) saw Shaun Wright-Phillips leave Manchester City for Queens Park Rangers. A move that was almost as inevitable as it was difficult to see. His move to Chelsea in 2005 upset and angered fans as they felt his head had been turned by the promise of a big money move. They felt let down on a big scale, but due to the financial state the club was in at the time £21m was simply too good to turn down. Links to this post. Debut...

David Silva's Left Foot: July 2012
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 July 2012. Is Lombardo the right man for the EDS? For those that like to follow the reserve and academy set up at City, you'll probably be aware that Andy Welsh is no longer in charge of the EDS set up. The news was greeted with approval, even from a player who has recently left the club, such was the standard of coaching during Welsh's tenure at the club. But what could the appointment of Lombardo to head of the EDS mean for City? His official coaching credentials have been questioned, and I'...

David Silva's Left Foot: Near Brighton.
http://mike-walsh-davidsilvasleftfoot.blogspot.com/2012/07/near-brighton.html
Tuesday, 17 July 2012. Waiting for the new season to start is like waiting for Christmas or birthdays at 5 years old, it just can't come soon enough. And after the sublime end to last season coupled with the stunning football we witnessed for the most part, it would be fair to say that City fans are probably looking forward to the new season more than most. The Isreali midfielder had a trial at City in January but there were problems with attaining a work permit at that time, obviously he impressed Manci...
