Matt: Peter Sparks (11:21) complaining about City spending on defence. They have had to rebuild an aged and not to spec set of defenders, Kolorov, Clichy, Zabaleta, Sagna and on/off Kompany. Haters gonna hate.
Sven-Goran Eriksson has been chatting to BBC Sport and denied there were "stupid things" like team cliques when he was in charge of England.
Some of his former players in Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard had said that club rivalries had held back the national team.
"The England national team is too big to have these kind of stupid things," Eriksson told BBC Sport.
"I didn't see any evidence of that."
