Certainly Manchester is the most wonderful city of modern times!
Manchester is obviously is a huge footballing city with Manchester City and Manchester United there - and I really like this accent because my agent is also from Manchester and my girlfriend's family is from Manchester.
I was always attracted most to joining City, and I am pleased to be at such a good club with such a big ambition as Manchester City.
We can talk about Manchester! I like coming here, it's a wicked city. It's my second favourite city in England after London. I like Liverpool too but there's a lot more to do in Manchester.
I've been to Manchester enough to know it's a real place. It's not Factory Records and the Smiths bicycling around. I get it. It's a modern city.
I have spent four wonderful years with Manchester City. They have grown a lot over the years.
David Rouse, a goalkeeping scout for Manchester City, came over for maybe a week in October. He was an awesome guy. He showed me what kind of club they were like. We talked about Manchester City. He watched me and watched a game.
Sometimes we're the big game in town. Other times, we're kind of a side show. (on Manchester City)
Even though I support the blue side of Manchester's football heritage, I don't really mind that wherever I go in the world it's not Manchester City that starts the conversation. 'Ah, yes, Manchester United,' is the response when I say where I come from. It's commonplace everywhere - in Europe, Africa, Asia and even the U.S.
I'm very happy about what I did in Manchester. I love the Manchester City supporters, and I had a fantastic experience.
How little do the most wonderful inventions of modern times detain us. They insult nature. Every machine, or particular application, seems a slight outrage against universal laws.
Manchester has always been a massively innovative city, loads of great scientific findings have come from Manchester. The first computer in the world was there and took up a whole building. So Manchester has always been very innovative.
I want to aspire to titles. Liverpool will always be a big club, but we are not at the level of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, or Arsenal.
I think Sin City is a good example. Nobody would accuse Sin City of being historically inaccurate because it takes place in modern times.
When you spend a lot of money on one player, you want him to prove himself, but the way football works, one day you can be good, the next you can be bad, and the next after that, you can be very bad. I have come to Manchester City to work very hard and to help my friends make Manchester City great.
I remember once Manchester United were ahead of Manchester City by eight points and ended up losing it, so everything is possible in this life.
I remember the '70s constantly being winter in Manchester and the Irish community in Manchester closing ranks because of the IRA bombings in Birmingham and Manchester, and you know the bin-workers' strike, all wrapped up in it... They were violent times. Violence at home and violence at football matches.
