On the way home from watching the game in the pub and starting to think of which was my favourite first game of the season.
Two spring to mind.
V West Ham. First game under Sven. Sunny day, loads of new players. Played well and won. Was such a change from the dross the previous season we'd endured under Pearce.
V Swansea at home. I think three words sum this game up. Sergio Aguero. WOW. The first 2-3 months of that season were special. The first time I'd seen City with a proper decent team, with a chance to win the title. Not fluke a cup win or sneak past the best teams to win something. We could stand up and say we are the best team in the country. This game was start of all that.
If pushed to choose I'd go with the Swansea game. Maybe partly because of what came afterwards.
Anyway so what's your favourite first game?
