Anthony
Hello there, My name is Anthony and I am a 24-year-old (as of Aug 07) avid Manchester City fan. I relocated to Belfast in October 2007, and am currently keeping an eye on the Premiership and European football (mainly through Betfair lol) from over here now. I am originally from Manchester and gained my 2: 1 degree in Journalism from the University of Lincoln in 2005. I enjoy the chance Ahmed gave me to write on Soccerlens and like to read the writings of others. Some terrific articles are typed up, others not so great but as long as people are always learning about how to express themselves and their ideas about the beautiful game then I think, as Sven would say, that is 'very good'. I look forward to interacting further with the readers and hopefully writing many more articles.

Is the Carling Cup Growing in Reputation?
Manchester City will play Tottenham Hotspur. Incidentally, I read one of the articles from a Spurs fan on Soccernet.com very recently and it made me laugh in some respects. Undoubtedly superbly written, how hard it must be ‘to have not won a trophy since 1999′, not to mention having Arsenal as your biggest rivals as…
Manchester City stutter to victory over Sunderland as Sven’s bandwagon rolls on
Manchester City set a new record of 7 successive top-flight victories at home last night with victory over Sunderland at the City of Manchester Stadium by a solitary goal. It has been a virtue extolled by many that it’s good to get goals from midfield, which the Citizens have done frequently this term, and last…
Harry Redknapp, David Moyes and Mark Hughes – A Tale of 3 Top Managers
What with TV revenue swelling player salaries, takeovers galore and spiraling ticket prices, Premiership management has assumed the role of poisoned chalice in this day and age. The stakes are higher than ever: managers of the clubs coming under new control feel pressure to impress potential new owners or risk being jettisoned in preference for…
Elano Blumer – Another Manchester City Legend-in-Making
It is fair to state that Manchester City have had more than a few electrifying players who have lit up the English divisions down the years.
