Micah Richards questions

Manchester City
comment on the article

Manchester City claimed their first win at Old Trafford for 30 years on Sunday and in his latest column, City defender Micah Richards tells you all about his day.

Micah talks about City's preparations for the game, what manager Sven-Goran Eriksson said to the players, and the part that City's fans played in the day, especially how they respected the minute's silence to commemorate the Munich air disaster.

He also reacts to claims by United that their players were affected by last week's international games.

On Friday, Micah signed a new five-and-a-half-year deal to commit himself to City until 2013.

If you want to ask him any questions about his new contract and why he has signed it, or about any other subject, please submit them below using 606 and I will use as many as I can when I speak to him next - just to remind you, Micah doesn't participate in the discussions on 606 himself.

Maybe they should of sent the reserves out as it may have given City more of a gamelaugh

Thanks for making us so proud on Sunday Micah, and making all these reds so bitter as you can see from their pathetic comments. You and Dunney were awesome, best CB partnership in the Prem by farok

I am from Zimbabwe and I am very unhappy about Micah Richards' attitude towards Benjani. I only saw their game against MUtd after Benjani was substituted. But judging by the way Micah wrote on the internet I can safely say that he doesnt like my fellow countryman. He named Vassel in connection with the goal he scored but he ommited the name of the winning goal scorer. Whether it was a quality goal or not, it doesnt matter. What I expected from Micah was a welcome message and acknowledgement for a goal scored by a debutant. My mind told me that maybe Micah suffers from a phoebia against black African players. You just have to live with it Micah, Benjani is a perfomer nomatter how negative you might be.I used to regard you highly but all that has changed. You still need to grow up.

JMAPONDE - I'm afraid you are delusional and I just can't understand how you 'can safely say' that you basically think Micah is discriminatory against black Africans. Because he thought Vas did incredibly well for the goal and benjani helped it go in? How does that possibly prove your accusations. It's people like you that stop any forward progress trying to break down racial barriers. Positive discrimination is still discrimination you neanderthal!

It’s clearly you who needs to do the growing up.

well said S4P, My mate is from Eritrea and he says there are way to many paranoid and pig headed people in Africa and people/tribes that just hold grudges for centuries and don't want to leave it all behind and be united.
There will be no peace with this kind of mentality.

My question is:

"If you could pick any player to join you at City, who would it be and why?"

Micah, your increased understanding with Richard Dunne for my money makes you the best central defensive partnership in the Premier League. But from your point of view, who would you say is the best pair of centre backs in the country (barring you and Dunnie of course!!!)?

1. I have noticed that earlier in the season Micah was playing on the left of Dunne and he was constantly getting wrong side. Now they have swapped and I think that the last few games I've seen Micah play, he has been improving positionally.

2. If Brown is so good defensivly, why was he the weak link in the defence for England AND the weak link in United's back line? Brown has never really been a 1st team regular either. Also, honestly, if SAF bought Micah over the summer would you play him over Brown and Neville? I think so.

nice one for signing on until 2013.
My questions are:

When do you think the world will end?(The Mayans predicted 2012)
Who out of all forwards past and present would it give you most pleasure to nail in a tackle?
