City news
Football 365 Football 365 is a user-friendly, tabloid-style web site. Very handy if you're on the go. Don't expect too much in the way of in-depth analysis, though.
News Now This site lists the very latest City-related stories from media agencies right around the world. From the BBC to the Timbuktu Evening Standard, News Now will almost certainly bring you the story.
Team Talk Like Football 365, Team Talk is an on-line version of the Sun or Mirror sports pages. Everything is pretty much in front of you and they seem keen to present the views of ordinary fans.
Manchester Evening News Manchester's local paper. A lot of Manchester-based Blues call it the MUEN, hinting that the paper operates a pro-United bias. Best to make your own mind up.
BBC Sport Get all your City news from Auntie Beeb. Lots of links, text commentary, audio and video stuff, etc.
SKY Sports A bit of a disappointment but that's perhaps due to their expectations created by their excellent TV coverage and not the quality of the site.
Supporter groups
MCFC Supporter's Trust This is the blog of the MCFC supporter's trust, which aims to promote football clubs, in this case City, as a civic and community institution and to preserve the competitive values of league football in the UK via democratic supporter ownership and representation through mutual not for profit structures. Very much in vogue since the advent of big-business takeovers in English football.

Blue View Now Part of the Rivals network, Blue View was the first City message board on the web. It used to be a hotbed of MCFC gossip but now all it seems to attract is wind-up merchants from other clubs.
Blue Vibe A quirky site where football seems to take a back seat unless it's a match day or there's a big City story doing the rounds. It's a bit cliquey but the conversations can be funny, wacky, enlightening and shocking almost at the same time. A great place to witness that cutting Mancunian wit.
Wookies Lair Serious football talk here. Most of the posters from the superb Talkin' City emigrated here after it folded. It's a great read and the quality of some of the writing would put serious journalists to shame.
Mancityfans Passionate City forum. Purely Man City says: "On a good day there’s usually plenty of interesting threads. On a bad day it’s like Iraq. It’s never dull though".
Bluemoon One of the biggest and busiest City talkboards.
