Man City's new away kit is all shades of cool.

Mixed reactions have continued to trail Manchester City’s new away kit but i think it is cool. see what the club had to say about it on its website, mancity.com.
Inspired by the iconic red and black striped away kit of the 1960s, both colours return to City’s change strip for the first time since the unforgettable 2011/12 title winning season.
The 2016/17 instalment also includes a Manchester icon, with the yellow detailing referencing the worker bee, which has been synonymous with the City of Manchester since the Industrial Revolution and has featured on the city’s coat of arms since 1842. 

As a nod to the bee’s eye-catching stripes, vibrant yellow detailing, including a reimagined version of the new club crest, embellish our new away kit’s distinctive black body and red shoulder and sleeves.

As with the 2016/17 home kit, the alternate also has two tributes knitted into the design: the word “City” at the back of the collar, and, on the inside of the cuffs, “Est. 1894” feature as another reminder of the club’s storied history and reference to the new badge.

Shock as Nigerian athletes beg for funds to attend the Olympics.

I woke up to a sad and unfortunate news today. Nigerian Athletes have resorted to gofundme to crowdsource funding to go and represent Nigeria at the Olympics. Adopting the hashtag #helpnigerianathletes, the athletes have taken to their social media platforms to beg for funds to attend the sporting event.
“Just so everyone knows we all got that message saying we should get our own tickets to Rio!  #helpnigerianathletes” Seye Ogunlewe, Nigeria 100m Champion wrote on Twitter.
Regina George, another athlete added, “To all my family friends and fans thanks for being here for me through the good times and bad times. This year it’s been hard financially for me but it wouldn’t have been possible without your support. I just been told that we will have to pay our own way to the Olympics this year . Sadly this is such short notice for me to come up with the money. They also promised a refund but I’m still waiting for many refunds promised in the past. I been through a lot of obstacles this year and through it all I made my SECOND Olympic team. I don’t want to stop now after I earned a spot to represent my country in the Olympics. Any donation will help my situation. This will not go unnoticed and I’m truly grateful for my supporters.
Help spread the word!”

Sam Allardyce has been officially appointed as the new England coach on a two-year deal. The Sunderland boss who replaces Roy Hodgson after England’s poor Euro 2016 campaign promises to deliver. 

“I am extremely honoured to be appointed England manager especially as it is no secret that this is the role I have always wanted. For me, it is absolutely the best job in English football. I will do everything I can to help England do well and give our nation the success our fans deserve. 

Above all, we have to make the people and the whole country proud. While my main focus will be on the senior team and getting positive results, I want to add my influence to the great work being done across the development teams at St. George’s Park – a facility I have used with my previous clubs.”

Jose Mourinho refuses to sign Chelsea shirt

Is it safe to conclude that Jose Mourinho is still harbouring ill feelings towards Chelsea? Recall Just less than eights months after leading Chelsea to their fourth Premier League title, the former Inter Milan boss was sacked as Chelsea manager after a poor start to the season. 

During Manchester United’s pre season tour in China, a legion of fans scrambled to get autographs from the new Reds boss at the Shanghai Stadium.
The Portuguese spotted a Chelsea shirt among the numerous kits presented to him but refused to sign it. He shook his head at the fan who presented it and then moved on. A United official then stepped in to move the supporter with the Blues shirt to the back of the queue. 

I hope Chelsea fans won’t take offence.

Pep Guardiola surprises young Manchester City fan in a taxi

Braydon Brent, a 7 year-old Manchester City fan got the shock of his life after finding himself at the back of a taxi with the club’s new manager, Pep Guardiola. 

In The YouTube video which was titled ‘Pep’s Taxi’, he had believed he would be sharing the ride with CityTV presenter Chappy, but he later found out that there was an unexpected VIP guest on board. After settling down, the chap then asked where  the former Bayern Munich boss series of questions. He started by asking where City would keep all their trophies. 

Now we’ve got you, we’re going to win them all. We’re going to win all the trophies… where are we going to put them all?” He said 

Guardiola replied: ‘Are you sure? Okay, we’re going to try.’

Then came another impossible request
“I know Messi’s your friend, You might give him a call and see if he wants to join us and have a fun time?’

The 45 year-old has always been practical when it comes to Messi- City talk. So his reply was expected. 

Would be nice huh? But maybe it’s a little bit difficult.’
After the little boy was done with the grilling, he helped him get his seat-belt on at the start of their journey and then took selfies with him.
