City slickers are on the way up.Manchester City's home games at Maine Road Maine Road was a large football stadium in Moss Side, Manchester, England. It was home to Manchester City F.C. from its construction in 1923 until 2003. When first opened, the stadium was the largest club ground in England, and the second largest in the country after and now Eastlands have been fondly fond 1 adj. fond·er, fond·est 1.

City are now third in the table with a 100 per cent record and with a game in hand could be joint top any day soon. If they manage to get any kind of result at Old Trafford Old Trafford commonly refers to two sporting arenas:

Last Saturday's victory though was overshadowed by Adebayor's goal celebration In football (soccer), a goal celebration is the practice of celebrating the scoring of a goal.
