If no-one else is going to start one, I am.

Mancini is unveiled and claims that City will finish top 4 this season and win the title next year. Actually, maybe he didn't claim that at all but I've written it now so I'm going to run with it. Cook tries to dismiss any conspiracy theories regarding Hughes' sacking using a whole load of dates, facts and claims that just don't add up. Move aside, Peter Kenyon, eh?

City are being linked with every defender in the world, what with their backline being shit and all. Rumours persist that Sergio Aguero will be a Chelsea player by this time next month, and that only Jack Rodwell's injury will stop Chelsea and Man Utd duking it out over him.

Wigan-Bolton didn't go ahead last night. Oh well.

Depending on which source you believe, there will either be massive fallout from the Spurs Christmas party (Keane going to Celtic) or none at all (the players bunging some money to charity).
