Newcastle could be the perfect game for us. The match will be open, we won't under estimate the opposition. If you consider who we could be playing away, i'd take this over being away at, arsenal, tottenham, chelsea, stoke, everton, united, QPR, liverpool or the clubs at the bottom who we may consider 'easy'.

If we want to be champions then going to newcastle with all our players determined for victory (having already beleived the title to have slipped away once this season) then barring some shit ref decisions we are the better team and should win.

relax and enjoy the ride,

Don't know which toonies have been posting on here but can I give you a level headed post?
I think we will win tomorrow because we have the best strike force in the prem but if we do I'll be lookin for Man U to drop points because all of us up here want City to win the league.... that is honest and straight I love City and hate Utd but unforunately us and Europe comes first


Love you city but gotta be selfish ...

fair play mate, sorry if im ranting but christ, some of your lot really are taking this piss. its a major game this for both teams, and the big players will have to step up to the plate. i would rather be playing newcastle - a team that plays football and has the pressure of potential champs league - than stoke or everton

best strike force in the PL, what bubble do you live in? We have the best defence, midfield, and are you saying you wouldn't swap ba and cisse for either aguero, tevez or balotelli. Your having a great season and I hope you get CL next year, but you need to put the brown ale down.

No you don't!!

Newcastle are a very good team but can't help but think 'yous' are getting carried away. If true about Pardew already announcing his team then I think its pretty poor and shows signs of being a bit of a **** to be honest

You've hit problems on the road a number of times during the season, but St James Park is one of the largest stadiums in England with some of the most loudest and passionate fans. If we really get going and get behind the team it's going to be just as much of a mental challenge for your side as it will be a physical challenge.

Then we'll just have to make sure that you won't get going, won't we? Yes, we respect your team, maybe more than the rags, but man, you fans sound just like them rags..

I believe in my team and I believe we will win the match in your "largest-in-England" stadium..We stopped your team in their tracks once before and we can very well do it again!!
 
From the Indy...

The difference for Manchester City between winning the Premier League title and finishing as runners-up could be as much as £30 million, according to a leading expert in football finance. Professor Tom Cannon of the University of Liverpool School of Management believes that being able to bill themselves as champions of England would potentially add that much to commercial revenue in the next year. And while even that sum is less than one-sixth of City's last annual loss (£195m), he believes that the development plans for the whole Etihad Stadium campus could enable them to meet Uefa's imminent Financial Fair Play regulations.

Roberto Mancini's team play at Newcastle today in the single match now most likely to decide the destination of the championship. If they can win it, then Manchester United will still be behind them even with a victory of their own at home to Swansea City later this afternoon. In the final fixtures next Sunday, United appear to face the tougher game, at Sunderland, while City, however historically unpredictable, would be expected to win at home to Queens Park Rangers.

They would then be able to cash in commercially, according to Professor Cannon. "With sponsors, advertisers, prices of season tickets and Champions' League games, executive boxes, overseas tours and so on, it would make a big difference," he said, "especially since it would be the first time since the Sixties that they could call themselves champions.

"Globally it's really important, for instance in the kind of deal you can do for a tour of Asia when you're seen as Premier League champions. All the evidence at the moment is that sponsors and advertisers are basically moving upmarket. I think City have a brilliant communications and marketing team, the best in the Premier League, and they'll be very smart. So all in all you could be adding £25m to £30m to the bottom line."

Last summer, City announced a10-year deal worth well over £300m for naming rights to the stadium and shirt sponsorship with Etihad, which caused considerable controversy because of the close links between the airline and the club's owners. "What was the losing bid?" Liverpool's sceptical owner John Henry asked. Uefa seem, however, to have accepted it as a genuine price, which will therefore count as income towards Financial Fair Play.

Meanwhile the owners will be allowed to sink more money into the whole area around the stadium without any effect on FFP in what Professor Cannon regards as "possibly the most exciting development around any ground in Europe".

"It could change the game," he says, "from being a one-day-a-week business to a six or seven-day business. They'll effectively have three stadiums in the campus and will be changing the whole football experience."

The other significant advantage he sees for City over Chelsea, with whom their billionaire's ownership is most often compared, is that the Middle East is an area of much greater financial potential than Roman Abramovich's Russia. "There's a lot of very rich businesses in the Middle East who could weigh in behind City if they win the championship and then go on to repeat it, or do well in the Champions' League. It's not just about Etihad. But it'll be a long time before we see Aeroflot on a club's shirts here."

Until that first title, and perhaps for a while to come, they will nevertheless still be playing catch-up with United and Liverpool commercially. As a committed Evertonian, Professor Cannon has personal experience of that. "I lead for the university in our relations with countries like Vietnam and Indonesia and I get a bit fed up with meeting people like the deputy prime minister of Vietnam and the first thing he tells me is that he's a big Liverpool supporter. But that's how Liverpool get their two enormous sponsorship deals with Warrior and Standard Chartered. That's what City have to aspire to."

Best strike force, are you fcukin serious? So Aguero and Tevez you wouldn't rate higher then Cisse and Ba? Get a fcukin grip, they're very good players but not world class like our two.
