put aside the immense mega-wealth. hilarious though it is. and is the main reason why this is no false dawn. it's for real, these arabs mean it and khaldoun looks THE kingmaker to me. anyway...
you buy a citroen, you get a citroen. you buy a bmw, you get a bmw. you buy samaras, you get a slow shitbag. you buy sibierski and you get a man with no football talent whatsoever, and no, he was shite in the air too. you buy tevez and you get tevez. i thought he was brilliant in the first half. he's one of those players who holds it and then finds one of your own players. he will be huge for city. as for adebayor, that fella is a massive specimen and could form a devatating due with tev, ala toshack and keegan. city have bought real quality and are shopping at the bmw dealership.
ireland is, officially, the new johnny giles, one of the all-time greats. i cannot say much more to heap praise on stevie than that. he is an amazing footballer and is, what, 20? i'd give him a 10 year deal today.
given is the best we have had since corrigan. if he could take more control of crosses, he'd be better than joe. and joe was a fantastic keepr.
toure is pure, unadulterated class. i thought he stood out saturday and did last night. arsenal are absolutely crazy for selling him and ade, totally out of their minds.
onuoha could captain england. years ago, i thought he was better than richards, even when micah was in his early pomp and ned was injury prone. i think we can all see now that ned is, in fact, class. what a player he is and what a player he is going to be. awesome power.
too many good things to list here. best city side, on paper, since 77, maybe including 77. they finished runners-up that year. this could be the best side we have had (could be, we'll see) since the 68 team. happy days!
our wing options are incredible, we have internationals everywhere and world class acts in each area of the team. the clincher is this...city are the quickest side in the league. our front 6, whichever combo, is devastatingly quick. pace = wins. it's the premier leagues most simple equation. no pace, forget it. city have it in spades.
whatever happens, city will take someone for 7 or 8 this year. could be hull at home, birmingham, portsmouth. someone is going to get it, for sure, 100%.

It feels better than all the other new dawns we've had.
I do actually think there might be some significance in last night.
I was reading in the Telegraph on Saturday (I'd swiped it off another passenger on the train back from Newcastle) that last season Filth took 58 points out of 60 against sides in the bottom half of the table. It was suggested that this was where they won the title and it more than compensated for not doing so well against the other Sky 4 clubs.Well they aint gonna do that this season. ( maybe Burnley will finish top half I suppose)
I have suspected they haven't replaced the players they needed to, and it looks like they have might have lost the ability to be flat track bullies. In the meantime, friendly or otherwise, we have had two very decent results away from home. And we think we're gonna get better.
Come On Blues.
