Manchester City F.C. Details

City won its second of two championships of England’s top flight – the old First Division – in 1967-68 and its fourth of four FA Cups in 1969.

City also has won four FA Cups (1904, 1934, 1956, 1969) and two League Cups (1970, 1976).

After finishing 10th in the Premier League in 2008-09, manager Mark Hughes is using the vast wealth of the owner (since September 2008) – the Abu Dhabi United Group — to strengthen the Blues.

Manchester City Manager

For "Sparky" Hughes, 2009-10 is his second season at City after leading Blackburn Rovers for four seasons — 2004-05 to 2007-08 — in the Premier League.

Blackburn’s best season under Hughes was 2005-06. The Rovers finished sixth in the Premier League and competed in the UEFA Cup.

Hughes also led Blackburn to the FA Cup semifinals in 2005 and 2007.

Hughes’ first job as a manager was from 1999 to 2004, leading the national team of his native Wales. He initially worked on a part-time basis while finishing his superb playing career, for which he was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame.

A centre forward, Hughes played for 16-plus of his 19 seasons — 1983-84 to 2001-02 — in England’s top flight. He is best known for 10 seasons at Manchester United in two stints — 1983-84 to 1985-86 and 1988-89 to 1994-95.

Four excellent players have been signed in the 2009 summer transfer window – striker Carlos Tevez (from Manchester United), striker Roque Santa Cruz (from Blackburn), striker Emmanuel Adebayor (from Arsenal) and central midfielder Gareth Barry (from Aston Villa).

Manchester City Stadium

What is now City of Manchester Stadium was originally designed as part of Manchester’s failed bid in the early 1990s to host the 2000 Summer Olympics.

The stadium, also known as COMS and Eastlands, was built after Manchester was chosen to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

After the Commonwealth Games, the stadium was reconfigured for football. The track was removed. And the playing surface was lowered to accommodate a third tier of seats, which increased the capacity to 47,726.

The first Manchester City football match in the stadium that counted was a 5-0 UEFA Cup victory over TNS of Wales on August 14, 2003

For the 1892-93 season, the side — then named Ardwick — was a founding member of the Football League’s old Second Division. The name became Manchester City in 1894.

Then in 1970, City won the first of its two League Cups and its only Europe silverware — the European Cup Winners’ Cup.

It has been a LONG time since the Manchester City Football Club was an elite side. And the stay in the rarified air was short.

But supporters are extremely hopeful that the Blues will break into the Premier League’s top four in the 2009-10 season.

Through 2008-09, City has two championships of the top flight (old First Division in 1937-38 and 1967-68) and six of the second (old Second Division in 1898-99, 1902-03, 1909-10, 1927-28, 1946-47, 1965-66).

Of its 106 seasons in the Football League, City has been in the top flight (old First Division, now the Premier League) for 81 and in the second (old Second Division, now the Football League Championship) for 24.

The side was founded as St. Mark’s in 1880. That’s when St. Mark’s Church added football to cricket in its sports program.

In addition, Hughes is seeking to sign centre back Everton’s Joleon Lescott to bolster the defense.

Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Short Summary

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham Hotspur plays its home matches at White Hart Lane, a fully enclosed rectangular stadium in the London district for which the team is named. The club’s residence there began in 1899, when the complex was adapted from its previous purpose, a plant nursery which had become seldom used, and renovated into a football pitch with rudimentary seating space for several thousand spectators. The early 20th century saw a number of renovation and construction projects to the Lane, eventually resulting in the modern stadium as it presently exists, with a seating capacity of 36,310. There are plans in the works to replace White Hart Lane with a substantially larger stadium on the same ground in the near future.

The club’s name comes from the historical figure Sir Henry Percy, otherwise known as Harry Hotspur, who was immortalized in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part I, and is probably more familiar as that character than he is as an actual historical personage. Henry Percy was a resident of the Tottenham area in his day. In addition, Hotspur is famous for his quick temper, fiery personality and prowess as a warrior, making him a natural choice to be adopted as the patron-in-name of a football team.

When the sport resumed play after WWI in 1919, Tottenham played in the Second Division while Arsenal, who had finished in sixth in 1914, were called up to the expanded First. This, on top of the physical proximity of the two clubs, created a fierce rivalry that remains to this day as one of the most impassioned in the English leagues. Tottenham has played consistently in the Premier League since its formation in 1992.

The original incarnation of what would become the club known today was a boys’ team called the Hotspur Football Club formed by members of a bible class at the nearby All Hallows Church.

Tottenham Hotspur Manager

The Spurs’ current manager is Harry Redknapp, who has managed a number of English teams over the course of his career including Portsmouth, Southampton and West Ham United. Redknapp was brought in to manage the club in October of the past season(08-09) after an extremely poor showing from the team at the start of the season had left them in the relegation zone. Redknapp reversed the trend and led the team to considerable success over the course of the season, instilling a solid tactical sensibility and a strong self-confidence the team had lacked. In addition he has brought in such notable players as Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane, and most recently, Peter Crouch.

Tottenham Hotspur turned professional formally in the winter of 1895, as a member of the old Southern League.

The Spurs were elected to Second Division of the Football League in 1908 and followed that achievement immediately with promotion to the First Division in 1909. They fared poorly over the next several years, sitting in last place when football was suspended for the duration of World War I.

The club’s emblem is a cockerel standing on top of a football.

One of the oldest clubs in English football, Tottenham Hotspur wear all white with navy blue trim.

Tottenham Hotspur is an English football club based in the North London district of Tottenham, currently playing in the English Premier League, finishing the ‘08-’09 season in eighth place. They are known as The Spurs or just Spurs for short.
