I am a long suffering Manchester City fan looking forward to the good times that should be on their way. Though, we all know, if there's one club that can muck up an opportunity like this one, it's City... I'm a writer, a radio presenter and host The BlueMoon Podcast. I'm also a Twitter addict, a part-time water polo coach and I quite like Matt Smith's Doctor. http://www.twitter.com/DavidMooney
