Seems worthy of a topic........

I hate Man United!

Come on City

Worried about this game. Newcastle are usually easy meat so I can see City fcuking it up. I hope not of course. A clinical 4-0 might see us early leaders but I fear 0-1.

Someone better photoshop the shirt to blue:

I predict at least 20 shots from us, yet frustratingly, only 1 will go in.

Newcastle will have 1 shot on target and that - depending on how pessimistic I feel - might go in.

Either that or 4 or 5-nil.

3 points is all that matters tomorrow. Performance level secondary.

Cannot wait.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

5-1 to the blueboys.

Really excited with the first game of the new season. However I am trying hard to be realistic about the first game given we are bedding down new players and a new style. Three points is what counts. We are a work in progress so I will take the win, whatever the score line.

 

[Ducado]

A very comfortable win

The win is by far the most important thing in this first game but I am most interested to see how we fare defensively.Newcastle might not be the biggest test but I expect them to sit and try to break on us so we need to retain good shape whilst trying to knock their door down. I remain convinced that our defensive capability will decide whether we win the league or not.

Creatively I hope we show better movement and at pace than we did much of last year in which case we will create plenty and with Edin and Negredo we will score plenty too.
