The First Game of the Season City vs Newcastle Pre Match

[bobmcfc]

I've seen no pre season games or any of our newbies in action. I've barely followed city in the close season due to work so tonight will be my first look at them all including the new boss

Pre season has been weird for me. I know you cannot judge anything by it but there were times I was a little underwhelmed and times we looked amazing. Desperate to see the real thing tonight. I know it's probably been done to death but Navas looks exciting as hell, Negredo scored a quality goal for Spain versus Ecuador and looks the business and I really, really like the look of Jovetic too. Spoiled for choice.

I've worked non stop so I've not seen interviews or even highlights of anything. I'm not underwhelmed but we must get in a central defender if I'm to feel at ease. It's gone very fast for me since the season ended. Tonight I get my first taste of the new regime and I'm excited but a little nervous because if it goes wrong and he's not "the one" then it's going to be very very confusing

Due to a two hour drive I normally don't drink at a game but staying over in town tonight - happy days!!! Where should we head for a few beers in the city centre before setting off to the ground?
Come on City!!!! I'm going for a 4-0 win :)

City Arms Kennedy Street Manchesater

My favourite pub in the days when I lived over there! Every time I go back I make sure I pop in for a pint or two. It's smallish, but has a great selection of real ales. Very central, but can be a little hard to find.

On hols this week. Can't make my mind up whether, to watch 1-2 from swamp last year or
1 - 6 from swamp year before, as pre-game entertainment.

I'll take that as a compliment! Originally from Iowa, live in Washington DC.

Excellent. So it'll be afternoon for you when the match kicks off? Do you watch it in a boozer over there or at home?

He's already felt my sister haha. She met the whole squad at The Etihad yesterday, on a routine trip to the club shop. Turns out Pellegrini likes the team to train at the stadium on the day prior to a home game. She got her photo with everyone, even Pellegrini (except Micah and Nastasic who both ignored everyone and went straight to their cars. Boooo!)
