Manchester City Archives: 07/2020

Manchester City don’t see Dani Ceballos as a priority target this summer, despite some reports to the contrary in Spain recently.

Matthew and Paul indulge in an epic podcast to recap unlikely victories against Liverpool and Manchester City, while celebrating a long lost feel-good factor. Plus…

Pep Guardiola was angry with his attacking players for losing to Arsenal in Saturday’s FA Cup, not the defence who made a few errors.

Mikel Arteta has expressed his sympathy for Arsenal fans who couldn’t be at Wembley on Saturday night to watch their side beat Manchester City and make their 21st FA Cup final.

Arsenal did what many thought was impossible and beat Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final to make it to their 21st final of the competition they’ve won more than anyone else.

Pep Guardiola has said he is planning to use City’s semi-final at Wembley against Arsenal to gauge how ready his side are to play Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will start against Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday in search of his first FA Cup goal for Arsenal this season and Mikel Arteta has backed him to handle the pressure even though he has never scored against City before.

Pep Guardiola has decided to come out swinging after Manchester City were cleared on a technicality of being massive financial cheats, pity he didn’t bother to check his facts first when taking aim at Arsenal and Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal fans expected to lose quite badly against Liverpool on Wednesday night only to come away with all three points but that doesn’t mean we’re closer to Liverpool than we thought, something we’ll probably learn on Saturday.

Known by some as Mystic Weg, Arsene Wenger spoke in 2015 about the death of FFP and here we are in 2020 with the Court of Arbitration for Sport finally putting it’s rotting carcass on display for all to see.

As expected, Manchester City have had their two-year European football ban overturned meaning they can now play in the Champions League next season and Arsenal definitely can’t.

Arsenal could play in the Community Shield at the start of next season, even if they lose their semi-final next weekend against Manchester City as the FA are determined to put on the showpiece.
