Without a Dream in Our Hearts: September 2012
http://withoutadreaminourhearts.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 19 September 2012. If D is for Death, then C is for Capitulation. We all thought last year’s Champions League group stage was hard, but unfortunately for City, this year it is looking like a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire. The Blues' schooling in the highest class of club football goes on, and Real Madrid certainly dealt out a few lessons in their 3-2 victory at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night. That only served to spur Real on, Karim Benzema leveling having been given the time t...

Without a Dream in Our Hearts: My Blue faith and the antidote of the Premier League
http://withoutadreaminourhearts.blogspot.com/2013/09/my-blue-faith-and-antidote-of-premier_8.html
Sunday, 8 September 2013. My Blue faith and the antidote of the Premier League. I come from the northern English city of Manchester, a city of soccer, music and rain. For all of my 32 years as a Mancunian, I have supported Manchester City FC. I was born into a family of “Blues” — as City fans are more commonly known. If I had opted to support any other team, my father would have never forgiven me. From an early age he told me my blood ran Blue. When two bomb blasts led to Manchester United cancelling its...

Without a Dream in Our Hearts: December 2012
http://withoutadreaminourhearts.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 5 December 2012. It started in defeat, it ended in defeat, and there was nothing to shout about in between. That’s the short, gloomy story of City’s 2012-13 Champions League campaign. It’s difficult to draw any positives, other than the fact that the squad has gained more of the much-vaunted “European experience” that some quarters say is so essential in these kinds of situations. And it had all started so well. There was a lot of debate surrounding the final game against Dortmund. Some fa...

Without a Dream in Our Hearts: February 2013
http://withoutadreaminourhearts.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 February 2013. A season lost in the mind? One prominent theory as to why the Blues haven’t been firing on all cylinders this season seems to centre on us not sufficiently strengthening the squad. There’s probably an element of truth in this, but I think the overarching reason why City haven’t got out of third gear this season is that we’ve not been up for it mentally. But can we really make a proper judgement on the quality of our new signings? As for the others, Maicon, Scott Sinclair and J...

Without a Dream in Our Hearts: There's more than one Blue Moon
http://withoutadreaminourhearts.blogspot.com/2013/03/theres-more-than-one-blue-moon.html
Sunday, 17 March 2013. There's more than one Blue Moon. Around 8,000 miles to the east of Manchester, a Blue Moon is also now rising over Indonesia, and at the center of that rise is group of young, City-supporting Indonesians who have established a network of branches across the country. They are Indonesia's very own Citizens. Century, the country is resurgent, just as City have risen from the depths to the summit of English football. Which is still going through some technical teething problems! The ne...

Without a Dream in Our Hearts: Farewell, man of good fortune
http://withoutadreaminourhearts.blogspot.com/2013/05/farewell-man-of-good-fortune.html
Monday, 13 May 2013. Farewell, man of good fortune. And so Roberto Mancini has been sacked as the manager of Manchester City. He was labelled a man of “ good fortune. 8221; by his contemporaries in Italy, because both as a player and manager he won trophies almost everywhere he went. He continued that tradition at City, thereby cementing his place in the history of the club forever. Winning the FA Cup in 2011 to end the 35-year hoo-doo. Ripping down that banner at Old Trafford. Demolishing teams ...He al...
