Suarez wants the English press to show him some respect.

Stories/footages of Uruguayan forward, Luis Suarez allegedly  trying to bite Demichelis during the UCL game between Barcelona and Man City two days ago2-1 have surfaced online.

‎Despite this new development, neither Demichelis nor the club are interested in pressing charges. Infact, no accusations have been officially made from the Etihad quarters.

Recall that Suarez who stole the show and provided two of the 3 goals scored during the match has been suspended on three occasions for biting opponents.
The Barcelona striker while vehemently denying the claims slammed the British press of blowing the matter out of proportion.

 ‘He Demichelis put his hand on my throat. I do not‎ understand why the English media want to do this. They want to make trouble – a mountain out of a molehill.’ They must be hurt after what I did to them in the World Cup but they forget that I played in England and they should show me some respect.’ He told ‎Uruguayan radio station Sport890‎.

Photos: Manchester City fans mock Manchester United with banner flown over Etihad stadium.

You know what they say about not doing unto others what you don’t want them to do to you. That’s the case here! Few months back and even a month ago, some Manchester United fans flew banners over Old Trafford trolling Steven Gerrard on his title drought and even their former Manager, David Moyes. See who’s doing the same to them- Manchester City. I bet Steven Gerrard and David Moyes are still having some quality laugh.

Shortly before their game against Chelsea, some City fans flew a banner over Etihad stadium to mock the Red Devils’ loss to the newly-promoted Leicester. The message on the banner reads “United we fall – in cinemas soon”

Mancity pls watch your back, the Red Devils’ fans will surely come for you.

Manchester City prevented me from seeing my dying brother- Yaya Toure

There’s no way one can ever fully express the pain of losing a loved one. Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure who is still grieving over the loss of his younger brother, Ibrahim Toure Yaya Toure has claimed that Manchester City denied him time to see his dying brother.
The Ivory Coast international wrote in a column in France Football magazine. “At the end of the season, I wanted to stay four or five days with my brother before flying to prepare the World Cup with Ivory Coast but City did not wish to grant me those few days. I went to celebrate the title in Abu Dhabi while my brother was dying in his bed. Fortunately, Kolo was at his bedside. Afterwards, I regretted that I had not insisted. However, City executives knew that I was suffering.”
Ibrahim Toure died of cancer in Manchester last Thursday. He was aged 28. At the time of his death, none of his brothers were with him, they were in Brazil for the FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile, Manchester City has refused to make comments on his remarks.

Yaya Toure on Jose Mourinho. "He talks more than before"

I really don’t know the correlation between his team’s recent defeat at the UEFA Champions League and Jose Mourinho’s input. Manchester City midfielder, who insisted the game would have favoured them if a “good referee had officiated” has slammed Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho for always talking about everyone. (coaches, players and teams I guess)
According to Marca, the three time CAF award-winner said, “I think he talks more than before, perhaps because the English press likes it. He is a coach and he must give respect a little bit. He is always talking about everyone and that is not the correct way. That is why Barcelona always beat Madrid when Mourinho was here in Spain.”

Aubameyang, Pitroipa, Mikel, Moses, Solomon Kalou, Gervinho… we have fantastic players. I also think African football is improving and that means a lot to us. And as an African, I’m very happy.” He added.

amazing. And I’m very happy as it is the fans who have given it to me – so I’m very appreciative.”

MANCHESTER CITY'S LATE BRACE DASHES MANCHESTER UNITED'S 20TH TITLE HOPES

For their first time in 44 years and in what can be described as a magical but thrilling manner, Manchester City’s brace at the stoppage time has landed them the 2011/2012 English premier League title.

Their victory which was delivered through Edin Dzeko& Sergio Aguero, came after a fierce battle with Queen Park Rangers.

Manchester United players were on the verge of celebrating their ‘imminent’ victory at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light after a 1-0 victory when news of Manchester’s ‘unexpected’ victory streamed in. I’m sure no one believed the extra minutes could give them a turn around

“Five minutes from the end I did not think we could win this game. We deserved to win this championship,” the overly excited Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini told Sky Sports.

Though both Manchester City and United finished on 89 points, the latter’s ‘sudden’ goal difference gave them the prominent title.
Congrats Manchester City!!! Yaya Toure couldn’t have had a better 29th birthday gift.
The Etihad stadium is ‘burning’ right now.

Sorry Manchester United fans, learnt you guys already printed your ’20th shirts’ (>_<)
