Manchester City POV training with a GoPro

If you’ve ever wondered what a Premier League practice looked like from a player’s point of view, your questions have been answered.

Thanks to a GoPro video camera, Manchester City have given fans a look at what training is like through the eyes of Carlos Tevez, Joe Hart, and Samir Nasri. It’s fascinating to see the precision passing from such a close angle.

Hopefully next time they keep the cameras on after training so we can see what it’s like riding home in Ferraris and hitting the clubs in Manchester.

Joe Hart takes a shot at (American) Football

If this whole world-class goalkeeper thing doesn’t work out for Manchester City keeper Joe Hart, he may have a future at wide receiver.

City is in the United States for their two friendly matches against Chelsea, as well as representing the club new MLS venture New York City FC.

Between their training and public appearances, the club stops by the New York Giants training facilities to visit and got a chance to catch some passes from Super Bowl winning quarterback Eli Manning. Hart, England’s number one keeper in front of goals, shows off some pretty shaky route running, but reaffirms that he has very capable hands. James Milner also makes an appearance by catching a post route pass from Manning and then quickly sees his life flash before his eyes as a Giants player puts himself in position for a tackle.

Here’s a full length video of the visit. Heck, you can even hear some Giants players tell our football heroes, “I play with you all the time in FIFA.”

Pick your poison…

Boxing Day was packed full of action on Wednesday — both good and bad. Here’s a dose of two of the worst plays from the Premier League matches.

First up, Adam Johnson scored on his ex-club Manchester City, but it wasn’t exactly the prettiest of goals. City keeper Joe Hart, who has had a rough season in net so far, didn’t cover his post and let the ball sneak underneath his dive.

Second is Robert Green. The gaffe-prone goalkeeper scores this own goal for West Brom, as lowly QPR fell to the Baggies on Wednesday. But was he fouled?

Before you watch this video, you may want to have a box of tissues nearby — it’s a real heartwarming tearjerker.

Six-year-old Hayden Whitbread, who is currently fighting kidney cancer, is a diehard Manchester City fan. Watch as he gets to meet his hero, goalkeeper Joe Hart. Trust us, you will need the tissues.

It doesn’t matter what team you are a fan of, this is a truly wonderful gesture, and a reminder that there are things far more important than soccer. Hart and Man City gave Hayden a day he deserved — and will never, ever forget!
