Over on City Kicks, the chronicle of City's Milky Way Galaxy Cup run is unfolding in the weekly Planet Blue Moon comic strip.

The first match starts on Friday, and Gareth Barry today offered us his pre-match commentary ahead of the Blues' first sojourn in outer space.

The City Kicks site offers exclusive MCFC games, videos, and more to junior members up to 16 years old.

If you'd like to give it a try, or know someone who would, seven day trials are currently available and memberships are half-price at £10 for the rest of the season: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/citykicks
