On a chilly Saturday afternoon in October 2006, Manchester City put in their worst team performance that many fans had ever seen. And that’s quite a bold statement, because there have been some truly shocking displays down the years, but this one was a real stinker. Pummelled 4-0 away at Wigan and without even fashioning a chance, let alone a shot on target, it became clear that 2006/07 was going to be a very long season.
There was one little glimmering light in that game, though. One little beacon of hope, amidst a bunker of bleak darkness that sunk down like a bottomless abyss. A City academy product was given his debut by the then manager, Stuart Pearce. He played in the number 33 shirt, most recently associated with Vincent Kompany. And, in the limited touches he was able to get when City did keep the ball that afternoon, he showed himself to actually have been the best player for the visitors.
His name was Michael Johnson. A man now often forgotten about at City. A man forgotten about by the Premier League, who once saw him as a future City and England legend. A man forgotten about by football.
For a while it went well for him. Okay, so he was dropped straight after that Wigan game – probably to save him the embarrassment of more team performances like that one – but he worked his way back into the side later in that season.
[ad_pod id=’fox-mpu’ align=’right’]
A turning point came for the Blues over Easter. After a series of dire performances for the first three months of 2007, it looked like City would be in great danger of finding their way out of the Premier League. But a battling display against Chelsea and a run of form of 11 points from five games (beating Middlesbrough, Newcastle and Fulham, and drawing with Charlton and Liverpool) saw City safe.
That coincided with the return to the team of Michael Johnson. It’s a bit brash to suggest that he alone saved City from the drop that season, but he had a big influence on that run of form. Dunne and Distin, with Barton and Mpenza too, were also hugely involved. And by the time City lost to Arsenal at the Emirates near the end of April, they were safe. We can say that for sure because they only went on to pick up one more point that season, drawing with Watford.
But when he was back in the team, Michael Johnson looked the part and fitted into the team like he had been playing Premier League football for a decade. Then, though, City sacked their manager. It didn’t really come as too much of a surprise, since they hadn’t scored a Premier League goal at home in five months. The club changed owners, too. The new manager quickly became a fans’ favourite and he brought with him a wealth of talent from around the world.
Sven’s City began the season well, losing out only to a fine goal at the Emirates after wins against West Ham, Derby and Manchester United. The goal that beat Derby was City’s first at home since Samaras’s eight months earlier and was scored by one Michael Johnson. A beautiful curler from the edge of the box with the outside of his foot. He scored the winner against Aston Villa that season, too, a graceful run from midfield ending with him slotting the ball beyond Scott Carson.
Sven was saying all good things about him. His team-mates likewise. The media more so. The City fans even more so; some were saying he reminded them of a former City hero, held in the highest esteem: Colin Bell. In truth, the praise was very premature. He had only been in the team for half a season, but he was definitely one to watch. In fact, he was a lynchpin in Sven’s successful City team and he was definitely missed when form took a turn for the worse after the New Year.
Continue to the NEXT PAGE…
The injury that caused him to miss many games that season seemed an innocuous abdominal one. But, while he was out, he had a double hernia operation and, when he did return towards the end of the campaign, he never truly seemed fit and like he had recovered. The season ended and a new manager came in and, this time through City’s lack of funds more than anything, he survived the upheaval once again.
Mark Hughes liked him and Johnson started well, linking up with Stephen Ireland and Elano in a distinctly average start to the season. City were taken over. Robinho arrived as a marquee signing. City lost to Chelsea and faced Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup. And that trip to the Withdean Stadium was more costly than a simple, embarrassing League Cup exit: There was a recurrence of Johnson’s abdominal injury and he didn’t play another game that season.
The following summer, City had the chance to truly flex their financial muscle – and they did. Once again, Johnson survived the cull, but this time he had spent over seven months injured and this could have been one of the biggest contributing factors. He was ready for pre-season, where he played (and picked up a minor injury) in a friendly with Orlando Pirates. He was ready for the end of September, where he came off the bench for two minutes in City’s 3-1 win over West Ham.
[ad_pod id=’unruly’ align=left]
City, though, were in the middle of their infamous run of draws and patchy form, and therefore weren’t in a position to be re-introducing players from long term injuries into the side. But, with the League Cup game at home to Scunthorpe being over at 4-1, Johnson got about 20 minutes at the end of the match. In that time, he showed moments of passing and vision that the City fans remembered him for, and he went on to score the best goal of the night – a long range effort on his weaker foot. It looked like he was back in the business, though he needed some game time and City’s form was still poor as they continued to draw games.
But, on 10 December 2009, it was announced that Johnson had broken down in training and suffered a serious knee injury. He was back to square one, after almost a year of hard work to get back to fitness and coming so close to achieving it. He’s not been named in another City squad, fourteen months on.

This week, though, they travelled to Greece to play Aris Salonika in the Europa League. On the plane and available for selection was Michael Johnson. He didn’t make the squad, in the end, but he’s clearly in the manager’s thinking. He’s on his fourth City manager and each of them has seen something in him that is worth keeping: Roberto Mancini, it has been revealed this week, blocked loan moves to Leeds and Crystal Palace because he is on the fringes of the squad, at least.
After such a long time on the sidelines and such improvements made to City’s squad since he was last playing regularly for City, Johnson fights an uphill battle just to make it back into the team. City have moved on a long way and there’s a very real danger that Johnson has been left behind. Getting his place back won’t be easy; nevermind the fight he has on his hands to fulfil the potential he showed back in 2007. There are so many examples of players who have never been the same after long term injuries. It would be easy to think, in fact, that Johnson’s ship has sailed from the City port – which would be unfortunate given the time he’s had, but football is a cut-throat world.
Providing his injuries haven’t had too much of an effect on him, he can still provide City with an option that they have been lacking recently – some cutting edge through a packed defence. And I don’t think there’s a single City fan that wouldn’t like to see him back in the team, keeping fit and playing like we all used to see.
It has been well documented that the next few months will be key for the long-term development of the Manchester United squad. Before the start of the new season, several squad players will surely discover whether or not they fit into Sir Alex Ferguson’s plans for the future.
The biggest clue as to how Ferguson intends to shape his squad has come with the announcement that Michael Carrick has been awarded a new three-year contract – the former Spurs man has become a mainstay of the United line-up since his arrival in 2006.
The deal is arguably the clearest indication yet that Sir Alex Ferguson does not believe that Owen Hargreaves will make a complete recovery from the chronic knee injuries that have dogged his career over the last two and a half years.
From that point of view, the retention of a player of Carrick’s calibre is understandable. However, the one time West Ham player has really struggled to match the form that made him indispensable during United’s run of three consecutive league titles between 2007 and 2009. Such has been the indifferent level of performance coming from the once imposing midfielder that there were hushed rumours that Ferguson may have tried to sell up in the summer.
[ad_pod id=’fox-mpu’ align=’right’]
I was at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night during Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat to defending league champions, Chelsea, and got a first hand look at the problems Carrick has been experiencing of late. Despite looking tidy in possession during United’s dominant period in the first half, Carrick was unable to impose himself on the game. By the time the home side had taken control of the game during the second half, he was completely ineffectual and was unable to break up the advancing waves of blue possession. For a man that scores so infrequently, United’s coaching staff would have expected far more defensive solidarity in such a pivotal position.
Yet, despite watching this, and numerous other insipid performances from Carrick over recent months, a new deal has been offered to the two time Champions League finalist. A potential answer as to why may lie in the advancing years of several of the club’s most influential figures.
Experienced heads at Old Trafford are hardly in short supply, but Ferguson will be aware that with Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs entering what must surely be their final year as United players, and players like Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown struggling to string a run of games together, that the role of someone with Carrick’s experience is likely to become far more valuable over the next couple of years.
This new contract is also a well-timed fillip for Carrick’s international hopes. With Gareth Barry struggling for form and both Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard showing signs of wear and tear, there will fresh hope for a more permanent berth in the England squad. Twenty-two appearances across a near ten year career would suggest at unfinished business for a man who was the outstanding performer in England’s quickly forgotten 1-0 win over Ecuador at the 2006 World Cup.

Alex Ferguson has rarely offered new contracts to players who have not warranted them, and whilst this is not as left-field a decision as the one to give Michael Owen a two year spell at Old Trafford, Carrick will know he will need to repay his manager’s faith handsomely in the coming months.
I’ve always wanted to write a piece on Michael Carrick. Mainly because when Clive Tyldesley says his name on ITV it sounds like ‘Tariq’ and I wanted to share it. More bizarre musings available on Twitter– subject to availability.
Valencia striker Jonas was delighted to have made his international debut for Brazil in their 2-0 friendly international win over Scotland.The 26-year-old came off the bench at London’s Emirates stadium on Sunday, a moment he claims will stay with him forever.
“I think that it is very difficult to get into the Brazilian national team, because of everything that the side has achieved,” Jonas said.
“It means a lot to me. It was incredible – a day that I will never forget.”
“I spent four days with the squad, and there was a great atmosphere. I will work hard in order to try and get picked again. I know that it is tough, because the Brazilian side has great players. I am going to do all I can until the end of the season here.”
Jonas, who signed with Valencia from Brazilian club Gremio in January, insists he is enjoying his time at the Estadio Mestalla and is looking forward to helping his new team reach the Champions League again next season.
“I think that I’ve done a lot of good things in the little time that I have spent here,” Jonas said.
“I have been here for around two months, and we have two more remaining in which to take third place.”
“The Champions League is the aim of every player, and we have nine games in which to try and get there.”
“One of those games is against a direct rival in Villarreal. We are going to work a lot in these remaining weeks in order to get to third place.”
AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has hinted at signing Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo if his team wins the Serie A.With six league games remaining, Milan hold a three-point lead over Napoli with fierce cross-town rivals Inter a further two points back.
The Italian prime minister has declared his interest in the 26-year-old former Manchester United winger, even though Ronaldo has not indicated he wants to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
“If we win the scudetto then the next transfer window will see us add one or two great players. One of those could be Ronaldo,” Berlusconi said.
“If we were able to add Ronaldo to our squad I think it would please everybody. Sometimes dreams come true.”
Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined the Italian giants at the start of this season, although disciplinary issues have reportedly left Berlusconi questioning his investment.
It would be the first time since 2004 that Milan have won the league title if they hold off the challenges of their rivals.
The current squad includes ageing pair Clarence Seedorf, 35, and Andrea Pirlo, 31, who are both coming off contract.
After yesterday afternoon’s 2-2 draw at home to West Brom the door is beginning to close on Tottenham’s bid for another season in the Champions League. Manchester City now look comfortable favourites for fourth position but by no means are Tottenham being written off. However, after Saturday’s draw it is looking very difficult for Tottenham – especially if we take into consideration their upcoming fixtures. As the season draws to its conclusions, the Tottenham board and senior management have to consider the consequences of not reaching the Champions League next season. It must be a worry for Harry Redknapp, after the success of their début season, Tottenham may find it increasingly difficult to win a place back in Europe’s elite competition.
The Tottenham fans certainly have the appetite for the competition, and they crave more. This has had a lot to do with how well Tottenham equipped themselves in the competition. Wins over European Champions Inter Milan and AC Milan gave the fans the confidence to believe their side could go further in the competition. Whatever the reasons for their defeat to Real Madrid, the fans must feel that they have unfinished business in the competition. It is difficult to imagine White Hart Lane buzzing in the same way in the Europa League. Will the fans have the passion for the competition, will the players have the same buzz on Thursday evenings and will the quality of the opposition give the fans value for money? Even Anfield, one of the greatest European stadiums lacks atmosphere in the Europa League. It has to be a fear for the Tottenham board.
If Tottenham do finish in fifth position this season and Manchester City make the Champions League, Spurs may well struggle to catch City. Manchester City will continue to spend big, and with the pull of Champions League football Manchester City wont struggle to attract some more of the world’s greatest footballers. With funds being tied up in a new stadium, Tottenham could find themselves struggling to compete with Manchester City and may find themselves cut adrift. Added to this, Liverpool will no doubt strengthen in the summer, whilst Tottenham, without Champions League football may not have the same strength to both keep players and invest in new talent.
[ad_pod id=’unruly’ align=’right’]
It is obvious that some Tottenham players will be targets for both English and European clubs who will offer the lure of Champions League football. Players like Gareth Bale, Michael Dawson and Luca Modric have proven they can play at the top and without a doubt they have the taste for it. It would not be out of the question if players started to ask questions, Harry Redknapp looks set to take the England job after Euro 2012 and if Manchester City and Liverpool invest big, some of Tottenham’s stars may be attracted elsewhere.
The Tottenham board and management must consider these consequences of Europa League football next season, and consider them seriously. If they do finish fifth next season, would it be right to put a new stadium on hold until they return to the competition? It would free up funds to invest and compete for Champions League football next season. Tottenham may yet qualify for the Champions League this season, and if they best Manchester City at Eastlands, who would bet against them doing it? However, Tottenham are dropping silly points against teams they should defeat and it could be this that ultimately costs them this season. The board has to forget about the adventures of this season’s Champions League run for the time being. The squad knows what it takes to compete and they know what the prize is, something that may help them in the running. However, all bases need to be covered. If Tottenham do not qualify for the Champions League next season, it could be a very long summer for the club.

There was a moment during Arsenal’s visit to White Hart Lane on Wednesday night that highlighted just what a quality player Sandro is. The Brazilian midfielder, usually accustomed to seeing out Tottenham’s defensive duties bust a lung to pick up a stray pass, knock it forward and smash a dangerous shot in the direction of Arsenal’s goalmouth. The Gunner’s keeper Wojciech Szczesny may somehow have managed to smother it, but that moment served to underline something a lot of Spurs fans already believed – that this young lad can aid a Tottenham attack, as well as break-up opposition play.
He’s clearly a wonderful young player, who shows no fear in the big games – if this game and his performances against the two Italian giants are any testimony. The trouble Harry Redknapp has, is finding a space for him in an already congested midfield. At the moment Sandro seems to be favoured above the likes of Tom Huddlestone in games against opposition sides that are known for their ‘physicality’, or tough tackling, whilst Thudd is favoured in most home games.
I realise that Harry Redknapp wants his side to play attacking football, and thus the selection of Tom Huddlestone in the midfield seems like a positive thing, but I can’t help but feel as though Sandro would be a better choice. Apart from his goal against Arsenal, I thought Thudd’s performance was a little poor – his passing game was way off and he didn’t look as mobile as he usually does. Can you imagine Arsenal finding the space to create three goals had Sandro been on the pitch from the beginning of the game? It’s little coincidence, I think that Arsenal’s creative juices ceased to flow soon after Sandro’s introduction.
[ad_pod id=’unruly’ align=’right’]
Of course, Tom Huddlestone’s been out injured for quite some time, so perhaps we shouldn’t expect so much from him so soon. It’s good to see that even when he’s not playing particularly well, he’s still capable of a rare sublime moment.
It’s possible for Tottenham to accommodate both players in a 4-5-1. Play Peter Crouch as the loan striker and have Thudd and Sandro sit a little deeper in the midfield, whilst granting Rafael van der Vaart, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale more freedom to get forward. That’s a fearsome looking midfield by any means. If Tottenham can bring in a decent striker next season and keep hold of their best players, they’re going to be a real force.
Tottenham’s midfield dilemma is one of those ‘good problems’ – they have a batch of quality footballers and not enough slots in the centre of the park to play them all. Sandro has rarely put a foot wrong since he’s entered into this Tottenham side and it’s clear that he’s still improving and adding to his game on a weekly basis. He’s got drive and energy, likes to join the attack and can still fulfil his defensive duties. He consistently delivers and it’s for this reason that if I had to choose between Sandro and Thudd, I’d go for the Brazilian every time.

Manchester United will face Barcelona in the Champions League final, after they crushed Schalke 4-1 at Old Trafford on Wednesday.United led 2-0 from the semi-final first leg, so when Antonio Valencia drilled an angled shot past Manuel Neuer after 26 minutes and Darron Gibson made it 2-0 five minutes later the tie was all but over.
Schalke did reply through Jurado before half-time but United were able to see out the match and even score twice more after the break, both through midfielder Anderson, to complete a 6-1 aggregate win.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson took a huge gamble on his side’s Champions League future by resting nine of the 11 players that started their English Premier League match at Arsenal last weekend – clearly concerned about a title-deciding fixture against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Only goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and midfielder Anderson survived the cull, with Wayne Rooney not even included on the bench.
Fortunately for Ferguson’s men, their opponents showed little belief that they could rescue the tie, even against a shadow United line-up, and the home side were convincing victors.
Irishman Gibson set up the opening goal with a wonderful pass for Valencia, who fired low across Neuer for 1-0.
Gibson doubled the lead five minutes later, firing in a shot that Neuer – who had played so wonderfully in the first leg – let slip into this own net.
The Germans did briefly pose a threat, scoring through Jurado, but United were back on the attack after the break and almost scored another through an Anderson curling shot that was well saved.
The Brazilian then tapped home after 72 minutes and converted a pass from Dimitar Berbatov four minutes later to wrap up a remarkably easy victory.
The result means United will play in the Champions League final for the third time in four years.
They won the title by beating Chelsea in Moscow in 2008, but lost to Barcelona in Rome a year later. Now they must face the Catalan giants again – but this time at Wembley on May 28.
Barcelona defender Eric Abidal has been selected in the France squad for the first time since surgery to remove a tumour from his liver.Abidal had the surgery in March and he missed almost two months of football before making his comeback in a Champions League match against Real Madrid on May 3.
The 31-year-old left back has now been named in Laurent Blanc’s 26-man squad for their upcoming Euro 2012 qualifier with Belarus on June 3 before friendlies against Ukraine on June 6 and Poland three days later.
Blanc said he was delighted to see Abidal – currently preparing for the Champions League final against Manchester United at Wembley on Saturday – back in French colours.
“I left him a message about 10 days ago to tell him I was really happy to see him back on a football pitch,” Blanc said.
“Hopefully he will be given a starting spot, he is coming back to form.”
“He will be delighted to return to the squad and he can bid for a starting spot at left-back.”
“It is amazing what he has already achieved, this is a good surprise. His return to the squad will boost his morale.”
Real Madrid’s Lassana Diarra is injured, and he is replaced by Sochaux midfielder Marvin Martin, while Lyon star Yoann Gourcuff is also missing with a knock.
France squad:
Goalkeepers: Cedric Carrasso (Bordeaux), Hugo Lloris (Lyon), Steve Mandanda (Marseille).
Defenders: Eric Abidal (Barcelona), Patrice Evra (Manchester United), Younes Kaboul (Tottenham), Adil Rami (Lille), Anthony Reveillere (Lyon), Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Mamadou Sakho (Paris St Germain).
There is little doubt that England put on a poor performance against Switzerland at the weekend and in the aftermath of this game there has been the suggestion that the players were tired after a long and hard Premier League season. But isn’t it time England came up with a new excuse? Bearing in mind that this seems to be the line that comes out whenever England put on a lacklustre performance.
Yes, there might be something in it because as we all know the Premier League is played at a high level at a very high pace. However, if it was 100% responsible for the performance then you would expect it to affect every player in the England squad and come to that every player that has played in the Premier League this season. But we don’t often hear of internationals that play their football in the Premier League putting on lacklustre performances for their countries. However, plenty of players have been outspoken about the need for a winter break if England are ever going to win the World Cup again – but that is really an argument for another day.
The real issue is why was it that Ashley Young, Jack Wilshere and Leighton Baines all seemed to be full of running? Let’s remember that Jack Wilshere is the player that had Arsene Wenger and others cry for him to be withdrawn from the England U21 squad over fears of burnout – so surely if anyone should be tired it should be him? But he wasn’t, he was full of energy and with some really quality on the ball. In fact he had a vital part to play to get England back in the game by winning the penalty to get the game back to 2-1. Ashley Young also looked full of energy when he came off the subs bench to score England’s equaliser and Leighton Baines was making some useful runs that were causing problems.
Fabio Capello felt the team looked tired and didn’t have the energy to press – but could the problems be more mental than physical. It seems like most of the England players were thinking about their holidays rather than a vital Euro 2012 qualifier. Then there is the issue of if the players really want to play for Capello – after all more and more players are announcing that they don’t want to be selected for England. Now surely that has to have something to do with the manager?
[ad_pod id=’unruly-2′ align=’right’]
John Terry did not agree with the manager and didn’t feel that the players were tired and wasn’t interested in making such mistakes. As the match showed the two goals that were scored were as result of mistakes that England must sort out. Different people will have different ideas about what the precise reasons are for the poor performance by England. However, I don’t think we can keep saying that it is all down to a long and hard Premier League season, because if that is the case then why doesn’t it affect all the players? Also it does seem to be funny that it only seems to have an impact on the established internationals.
When other players are given opportunities either from the bench or in friendly games these problems don’t seem to be so evident. Peter Crouch has never really let England down but in important games he rarely gets the opportunity to impress. But if the established England players can’t handle a Euro 2012 qualifier at the end of the season then maybe we should let the fringe players have a go.
