For those of you who are not familiar, Men in Blazers are two football fans/pundits/analysts who try to break down the game (and the stuff that goes on behind the scenes) for the NBC soccer fans in the States. They became quite famous for their bits at the World Cup, as they broadcast from a closet decorated with all football stuff, while the regular WC broadcasts were done in a big fancy glass studio on Copacabana Beach.

Anyway, they posted their City bit for the new season. Have us coming second, but one of them said "to Arsenal!" They are not exactly MOTD ready, as their analysis is often meant to be somewhat funny and tongue in cheek, but they are becoming watched more and more and their podcast is very popular.

For those with any interest in how we are seen overseas, in a market we are trying to penetrate...

LoL, thought they were going to have American accents.
Most of what they were saying made sense, but at the end to suggest Arsenal for the title just lost any credibility for me.

Comparing City to some character from Downton Abbey, suggesting this is the club for them if they like this character....LMAO

Ha - very tongue in cheek. Love the Latin motto on their blazer badges - viri recte vestigi means " men who are clothed". Brilliant!!!
Almost as good as the motto we tried (unsuccessfully) to have put on our school rugby shirt badges.
semper in faecibus sumus sole, profundum variat - which translated means We are always in the shit. Only the depth varies
 
They're really funny and thankfully don't take themselves too seriously. You can tell they love the game.
 
Ha...Dave-O's Arsenal pick is probably to make up for his comment after Netherlands ". . .made Spain look like Arsenal in a big Premier League match. I'm going to get emails for that." during the World Cup.

I think this is a little closer to how the MLS is seen.
