Emoji joy

The big news of the weekā€¦ the introduction of a new emoji ā€“ and itā€™s just for City!

Inspired by the personable, social media savvy Benjamin Mendy, Twitter have created a new emoji for our Shark Team hashtag!

Go forth, use and enjoy!




Call Your Momma

Weā€™re big fans of pieces by the Playersā€™ Tribune. Their latest offering is extra special as it features our very own Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian talks us through his life ā€“ from his upbringing in Peri Jardim to his footballing journey ā€“ and his time at City, including the true meaning of his ā€˜telephoneā€™ celebration.

An absolute must-read. Hereā€™s the article in full.




Fantastic Phil

An incredible week for helping City to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup with a penalty shoot-out victory over Leicester.

With a World Cup gold medal, plus the Golden Ball, and a first-team debut, Stockport-born Foden has enjoyed an exceptional year.

Congratulations, Phil on your award. Richly deserved.




Mini me

Another adorable shot of Danilo and his little lad.

Just look at those facial expressions! Like father, like son.

All together nowā€¦ Awwwwwwwwwwww!




Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!

Very cheeky but very good from SPORF, who parody Christmas classic movie Home Alone with Pep Guardiola ā€˜playingā€™ the mischievous and clever Kevin McCallister.

Itā€™s the thought process behind this that amuses me most, as if someone was watching the film and commenting on Kevinā€™s ability to constantly overcome the villainous Harry and Marv.

Somehow, that drew comparisons with Guardiolaā€™s City and thus, this work of art was createdā€¦




Christmas Number One

Kudos to Jennyā€™s mum, who ensures thereā€™ll be a Blue Christmas in their household!




Zoology

I have to admit, I cannot explain the meaning of this but I like the description of City as a ā€˜lion zooā€™ ā€“ whatever that meansā€¦




A Kun-derful New Year

This is such a brilliant idea. I wonder how many people will put it into action?!
