It was pretty much confirmed after their game against Liverpool. The more concerning issue for City is that it would probably affect their chances of getting that Champions League spot because City are pretty much clueless and toothless without Tevez unless one of their strikers step up in the upcoming weeks.

That would be awesome. The title would be Man U's then if that happens.

Andr? Villas Boas steps out from Jos? Mourinho's shadow at Porto | Guardian

Another article on Villas Boas. Assuming if he does remain Porto during the summer, it will be interesting to see how he fares with Porto in the Champions League.

Dirk Kuyt extends Liverpool deal until 2013 - ESPN Soccernet

Great news. One of the unsung heroes of the Liverpool team. I think every team could do with a player like him. Tank.

Yep. If there was one guy I'd take out of Man City to massively damage their chances, it would be him. So now neither of us have our 'talisman player'. The only difference is, we can sure as hell manage without Rooney - can City manage without Tevez and his workrate?

Damn when i look at this end of season battle coming up for the top 4 champions league places. Id say all of the current top 6 deserve to playing in Europe next season, since all of the top 6 represents one of the 32 top teams in Europe. Its real sad 2 will have to miss out.

Good performance all around. We looked much better with Mikel back in the side and Ancelotti going back to the 4-3-3. Drogba was pretty lively throughout the game and was involved in all 3 goals.

Other than that, it's 3 points and job done!
