Yaya Toure is behaving like a spoilt brat in his birthday row with Manchester City
May 13: the date in 1638 when construction began on the Red Fort in Delhi; the day in 1799 that the Treaty of Teschen was signed to end the War of the Bavarian Succession. But, more momentously, it is the date in 1983 Yaya Toure was born in the Ivory Coast. Only the most loosely educated of us would fail to remember such a historic moment. Sadly, the miraculous birth slipped the minds of Manchester City's high-ups, factotums and players a week ago yesterday when Toure turned 31 — a landmark birthday, by any reckoning.
