I came away from yesterdays game and I sent a text message to two of my mates that this City side is as good as anything Ive ever seen since I started following them in 1972. We have the lot, power, strength, determination, skill, tenacity, spirit, pace and quality all over the pitch. At times Toure goes past opposing midfielders like they're standing statues. The whole team chase and hurry opponents into losing possession, we hunt the ball back the minute we lose it starting from the front line all the way to the back four. Our movement, first touch and possession football is sublime. Milner has found his place in this team and has been phenomenal in recent games. The confidence is overflowing and we all know it and we're all thinking in but were we're all buried too deep in the mindset of 'Typical City' to say it.
Well I'm about too....We will win the Premiership Title this season. I know your all gonna say shhhh and oh fuck its way too soon but in all my 39 seasons Ive never seen a City side be able to shift gears when required. Even talking about a City team being able to shift up a gear is mindblowing. But with this side you can physically see them up the level when needed - away to QPR - and equally to control a game in preparation for the next more important one (yesterday). In my opinion there are only three sides left in the race as the points tally currently stand and thats us, United and Tottenham. I say this simply because for any of the rest of the challengers (Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle) to catch us they all have to rely on City losing at least five games whilst they currently need to win every single remaining game of the season and that scenario is not going to happen. So that leaves Tottenham and United and the pressure is all on them to win every single game because they know they cannot afford to slip any further behind.
It may be early but we've laid a marker down and any team that can score 42 goals in 12 Premiership games simply don't fall apart for the next 24. Yes we will lose but so will the rest throughout the season and thats the key issue, nobody else can afford to lose anymore than City. Then you begin to look to the long term and realise this side is young and has only played 12 Premiership games as a complete unit. Look at the improvement from Silva, Lescott, Milner, Dzeko and Balotelli over the past 12 months under Mancini and then you realise Aguero, Clichy and Nasri are in their first few months here. Its genuinely frightening and scares the shit out of me. It's a crazy notion but i'll say it again this is the best City side I've ever seen and I cannot see anybody stopping us from winning the title. Fuck Sshhhh and embrace it, its happening.
