We have another Semi.. Manchester City fans have now becoming acustomed to their TOTAL DOMINATION/OWNERSHIP of their domestic game....

I though before it would take 30 - 40 years. I went to a few asemblys when we had the camp in Placa Catalyuna. I see these people in the end being all the ones in charge, most of these people and I guess around the world are socalists, but now a new form of socalisim will spread around the world. Beleive it or not Hugo Chavez has a good model of how it may work, but I hear most people now saying and screaming no ..!

Another deal for city that has netted us a reported 200 million quid !! http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/221671/Manchester-City-s-200m-kit-deal/

Conservatives in Spain are celebrating a landslide victory in today's national elections. Continue reading the main story Related Stories What's the matter with Spain? Metro symbol of economic crisis Q&A: Spanish general election Spain's centre-right Popular Party (PP) has won a resounding victory in a parliamentary election dominated by the country's deep debt crisis. With almost all the votes counted, the PP, led by Mariano Rajoy, is assured of a clear majority in the lower chamber. The Socialist Party, which has governed Spain since 2004, has admitted defeat. Mr Rajoy, who is expected to tackle the country's debts amid slow growth and high unemployment, said he was aware of the "magnitude of the task ahead". He told supporters there would be "no miracle" to restore Spain to financial health, and that the country must unite to win back respect in Europe. Continue reading the main story Analysis Sarah Rainsford BBC News, Madrid -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Popular Party had already erected the platform for its victory speeches at its Madrid headquarters by mid-morning. Hours before the polls closed, workmen unfurled a huge, new banner that said "Gracias". Somewhat premature, it was quickly removed. But there was no doubt who would win this race. Left-wing voters have punished the governing Socialist party: it is pretty tough asking to be re-elected when almost five million people are unemployed. So the mood over at PSOE (Socialist) headquarters today was distinctly subdued. Here, though, the music is pumping through loud speakers. The crowds have gathered - many wrapped in the Spanish national flag. The PP and its supporters are beginning their party. "Forty-six million Spaniards are going to wage a battle against the crisis," said the 56-year-old PP leader. The PP won about 44% of the votes and the Socialists 29% in Sunday's election, according to near-complete official results. The PP is expected to take about 186 of the 350 seats in the lower house. As the results were announced, jubilant, flag-waving supporters danced outside party headquarters in central Madrid. Socialist Party spokesman Jose Blanco congratulated the PP on its victory. The BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Madrid says the right is headed for its biggest win since the end of the Franco dictatorship in 1975. Parliament is expected to meet next month to confirm Mr Rajoy as the new prime minister. 'Sacrifices ahead' The new government will have little time to show results and people are bracing themselves for a new wave of spending cuts, our correspondent adds. Over the past week, borrowing rates have risen to the 7% level which is regarded as unsustainable. Unemployment stands at five million. PP leader Mariano Rajoy: "We can only go forward if we all go forward together" Miguel Arias, the Popular Party's campaign co-ordinator, said Spain was "going to make all the sacrifices". "We have been living as a very rich country," he told BBC News. "People are used to a very high level of public services and it takes time to them to acknowledge the realisation that we now are a poor country, that we have lots of debts and in order to pay them back we must reduce public expenditure and then we must recover the confidence of the markets." Outgoing Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was not standing again at this election. His successor as party leader, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, has accused Mr Rajoy of planning severe cuts to health and education. "Spain is at a historic crossroads," he told reporters in Madrid. Correspondents say many are angry with the Socialists for allowing the economy to deteriorate and then for introducing tough austerity measures. Spain's is the third Eurozone government in as many weeks whose fall has been attributed to the debt crisis. The socialists in Greece and Silvio Berlusconi's Italian conservatives have also been swept from power. Earlier this year, the governments of debt-stricken Ireland and Portugal also fell. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not good for Spain.. As the people that really need the help will even suffer more... this summers protest camps and the marches that supported them will seem like a gathering for a summer prom.

Weed every day beer almost every day... tababco all the time.. cofffee is a religon ! other stuff I wont mention to many young people dont want to be a bad infulance now.. !

It was not just about the Government, most of it was about the mess we are in though corporate greed. I am sure you made a very positive contribution to that thread. BTW it’s all very wrong what is happening over there.. I think it will take around 10 - 20 years now and the world will be a different place. The revolution is in full swing now.

500 Billion is quite a lot to spend mate. This is what the owners family is worth. In addition the ownwers have been the ones bailing out a lot of countries, maybe not directly, but indirectly. So just even think that student loan you pay some of it will be going to city, not just the petrol and the lights you use !!

I see David, if I find it, I will be sure to let you know. Damm I can see city making their money back Its costing me 40 quid to go and see them from the 3rd Tier against Norwich city, good job I got my mate to get me the tickets they sold out 10 days ago. but 40 quid it was only 27 2 seasons ago. My flight to manchester is almost less than the cost of the ticket to get in.

Idoits saying the wall street movement was coppied over the world. It started in Madrid and Barcelona .. ! then it went viral here... and then went the states.. A lot of people did not even know it was going on !
