Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given expects they're now one of the teams opposition fans love to beat.

"Clubs will be a bit envious of what we've got to spend," he said. "Players like Gareth Barry, Emmanuel Adebayor and Carlos Tévez have been top players at their clubs - some would say mainstays - and now they're at Manchester City. So people will want to do us over. And we've got to expect that every week."

Not that he minded.

"That's why we came here," he added.
