#SharkTeam
Shark fever has well and truly hit Manchester. Benjamin Mendy has kicked off a craze.
The Champions League visit of Napoli to the Etihad Stadium heralded the return of inflatables to the City standsā¦ and the trend has spread across the Club.
This quintet were spotted at an Academy game, while Sundayās womenās game against Birmingham has been billed as #SharkTeam Sunday!
Jawsome! (Sorryā¦)

You wonāt be surprised to know Mendy was rather vocal on social media during Cityās Carabao Cup clash against Wolves.
He was particularly impressed with Claudio Bravoās display ā and rightly so!

Squirrelled away
From sharks to squirrelsā¦
This little creature caused havoc in Tuesday nightās encounter.
As kick-off approached, this daring squirrel raced onto the pitch to try and join in the warm-ups ā much to the dismay of the City groundstaff!
Having tried (and failed) to coax the intruder off the pitch, they eventually had to scoop him up before delivering him to safety!

Million milestone
It was a landmark day for the Club when City defeated Burnley 3-0.
Not only did the Blues equal their all-time winning streak, the Club also hit a million YouTube followers, becoming the first British club to do so!
Weāve celebrated with a live countdown, congratulatory messages from YouTubers around the world, and videos of Yaya Toure unboxing the plaque and reliving the journey to a millionā¦
But our Head of CityTV and Social Media Michael Russell summed it up rather nicelyā¦
A long old journey. @ManCity the first British club to 1,000,000 subscribers on @YouTube. Immensely proud and humbled. #sportsbiz #smsports pic.twitter.com/UmpTP4uiI3

On fireā¦d!
If youāre a fan of the Apprentice, you may have noticed the latest episode took place during the FA Womenās Cup final at Wembley between City and Birmingham.
