Will Manchester City slip up in the Premiership race?

I can't see Manchester City slipping up in the Premiership race against close neighbours Manchester United after seeing the sky blue side wallop poor old Blackburn Rovers, who did not make much of a contest of it.

I HAVE GOT A FEW POSTS IN THE PIPELINE!!

Dear Reader, I have got a few posts in the pipeline with subjects such as David Cameron, Ed Miliband, David Lammy, the European single currency and Manchester City. I have added a few bits to my recent obituary of Welsh footballer and manager Gary Speed, who recently committed suicide.

David Lammy is the Labour MP for the troubled area of Tottenham and he is recently said how it is there. He is also the opposition spokesman for higher education but I think he should have resigned when he served in the late Labour government as the administration was trying to force through some barmy policies.

I am a bit depressed by the Manchester City result.

Can you really buy success on the football field? Manchester City walloped Pompey six-nil and there was the whole spectacle of Calamity James coming out and missing the ball and the ridiculous little dances by City players as the goals went in. They should have been booked by the referee and they might have been if the referee was the venerable Mike Riley. He did not do much for the Chelsea-Manchester Utd clash although the Blues had enough chances to win it.

I read the Sunday papers and was flabbergasted to find out that Lloyds TSB has wanted to buy out fellow banking group HBOS for several years. The only figure being put out by Lloyds TSB is £1bn. This is the figure for cost savings but the banking group has not been prepared to announce how many job losses there will be.

One of my readers says I go on about football too much.

One of my readers has told me that I go on too much about football in this blog. Well, I am going to try and diversify the topics I cover rather than go on about the golden age of Manchester City and players such as Bell, Lee and Summerbee. I should try and be more considered about British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who gets sliced up by Matthew Parris in his Saturday column for The Times.
For instance, interesting things are happening over the border with the SNP going steadily towards his goal of independence (Would the passport have a Saltaire?). The party is hoping to get North Sea oil revenues/European Union to finance their socialism in one country. Scotland could make it as an independent country but a lot of businesses, which have substantial interests in England, such as Standard Life might have a tough choice whether to relocate. This is if businesses don't decide to move to Dublin to benefit from lower taxes.

Alex Salmond, SNP leader, is playing a canny game and the latest move towards a local income tax rather than have council tax is very interesting. The Lib-Dems want to cooperate while Labour, which has run parts of Scotland as a rotten borough, is looking lead-footed.

I apologise for wallowing in nostalgia about Man City.

I was reading in yesterday's blog and I realise I was wallowing in nostalgia about the good old days of Manchester City. In the current modern world the club is just a
poker chip to play on the table. Is it really worth £200m? Is Robinho really worth plus £30m? It is a bit late to complain that we have sold out. Those old-fashioned purists are outnumbered by the modern Man City fan, who wants to compete against
Man Utd and the Abu Dhabi finance is the way to do it.
