As I am sure City fans are well aware so much can change in football in such a short period of time. Just 5 and half years ago we didn't own our ground and could have gone bust. Maybe if we had gone down that would have been it. Looking back at that team it had a lot of potential: Clyne...

We are better away partly because we like to counter attack, which we will be doing against you, but also because are pitch is awful. I would have fancied our chances more if Yaya was away too. We have been quite porous at the back except for today. Chelsea have been quite toothless. If we...

I don't rate Navas very highly, but football is about the team and the right balance. Navas gives good balance with the current formation, but De Bruyne will be better because he is a lot better than Navas. I don't see how my opinion has really changed. He is a big upgrade on Navas in this...

I agree you will win it early and I am not the sort of person that will say that for the sake of it. I said Chelsea would win it last year. Only United signing a world class striker or a real top class player will change that and I don't see it happening.

When was the first quote made? I am guessing before the season was ended and he impressed me more. It's also very selective quoting. I don't think my general appraisal of the situation has changed that much. It's more City's signings and formation has changed the impact he will have. Playing in...

There is some truth in this, but it will only matter against Barca, Madrid, Bayern and PSG. Even against the likes of Arsenal/Chelsea he will just make the team more dangerous and a serious threat from both sides. I am slightly surprised about how pleased people are with this signing. He is...

I said it before, but I don't think Chelsea will be your biggest challengers. It will be United and unless they buy a striker even they will be a distant second. Chelsea probably rebuild their defence this year.

Yes a great win and helps you extend the lead over Chelsea. Everyone is happy here this weekend.

First really big clash of the season and Bayern came out on top. Bayern were missing their centre backs and Leverkusen were off the back of a very draining CL match. In the end I think Schmidt was outdone by Guardiola. I understand why he decided to go for his usual approach, but he needed to...

Seems about right. LOL. I think Liverpool have made some strange signings like Firminio for 30 million when his best position is the second striker and they are going to play him out wide. I have always said that Milner is not a central midfielder. Benteke and Clyne can be good signings if...

I take it bell means rubbish. Honestly I don't know how good he is. Mata has had more than one good season and the same can be said about De Bruyne. Both great players but they are not at the level of Silva, Aguero, Toure, Kompany the true world class players. I thought from the start City...

Big problems at Chelsea, but a few of them can be corrected. Play Oscar and drop Willian, move Azpi to right back and see how good the Augsburg lad is and play Zouma. However, the problem of Fabregas is going to cost them. Fabregas has an Arsenal player mentality instead of a champion mentality...

Another great result and was well deserved. We just looked the better team. The most impressive thing for me is that we were solid today. I am not sure how much that was due to us or the lack of creativity Chelsea showed. We have looked dangerous going forward in all our games, but not very...

Yeh I meant to say he improves the first 11 and that's worth even more.

Don't get me started on the Kiessling debate. German fans see to hate him and would rather have no striker than him. They won the world cup so hard to argue against them, but I think he would be a great option. I didn't watch the first leg, but heard they were the better team and certainly...

An interesting signing. I think it is very, very expensive and I am not sure he i worth it, but if he improves the squad then why not. Kolarov crossing on the left and De Bruyne on the right is every strikers dream. What's even better is he hits low crosses, which Aguero is going to lap up...

Stones is English. English players never get the same criticism as foreign players. Last year Chambers was getting praised and put into the England squad despite playing poorly. He was just lucky his mistakes had not hurt Arsenal yet. He is very composed, but needs to learn a lot defensively...

I go to home games. Down here things are not too bad. I would get the train back down to the game and would make no real difference. Obviously worse or better in different areas.

Glad to see Leverkusen go through and not just because Lazio went out. They have such a young inexperienced team. It's a shame there is no chance they will stick together. I expect Calhanogolu to be off next summer.

Schweinsteiger and De Gea would get in the City team, though the latter is probably leaving. I don't think there is a lot between Sterling, De Bruyne and Mata either at their current levels. Memphis might be at that level but too early to judge.
