Here I am responding to my own topic on the first match of the season

I was about to comment on last nights game when I realised that in fact, I am replying to myself and nobody else is interested or cannot be bothered to look on this site any more, so there is no point in doing so

I will now have to seek a new site to share my interest in Manchester City FC

 

Not sure what to make of this performance against Arsenal. Defence is still the main problem and Joe does not instill confidence at all. I think that he will be replaced sometime very soon
It's hard to see how the bookies still have us a favourites for the EPL title and the Champions League qualifier looms large. Maybe they know something we don't

England 2 v Wales 1
A poor effort from the ManCity contingency in the first half with Sterling missing a sitter from his only real chance to score and Joe Hart conceding a goal from a 35 yard free kick, albeit from Gareth Bale but he should have really saved it from that distance
Thankfully, a last minute goal from ex City player Daniel Sturridge saved the day for England after the equaliser from Vardy

Italy looked good against a very good-looking Belgium side (on paper)

Iceland 2 - England 1 - 27th May 2016
Joe and Raheem made scapegoats for Englands performance but they were no worsr that the rest and we have to admit that Iceland deserved the win. England were embarrasing

So City make it to 4th place in the Premier league, which means that they enter the qualifying stage to be in next seasons Champions League, if they in fact do qualify
After a good start scoring the first goal through Kelechi, Swansea equalised in added time just before the break via a clever free kick which deflected off a City player leaving Joe stranded
The second half was a goalless nailbiter throughout as the Swans kept the Blues out whilst always threatening to score themselves. So United now, due to their game being cancelled, have to play out their Premier League season knowing that even a win will leave them short on goal difference

Bye,bye Manuel Pellegrini - Hello Pep Guadiola

I can hardly believe that, thanks to the 'Hammers' win against the Red's, the top four Premier League place is back in City's own hands. Just a draw at Swansea will see us through on goal difference even if United beat Bournmouth at the swamp on Sunday, which they probably will
The Swans have only won eight of their home games this season, drawing five and losing five, but they did give West Ham a 4-1 hammering away last weekend so there is the warning for City to heed
Surely they can't mess this one up 

This is now the most important match of the season if City are to be in the top four of the PL and we have not won against a top six throughout it. A win would take us to 3rd place on goal difference so there is every reason for the players to be motivated today
I am not really confident given recent results but we should win this one, shouldn't we?
City 3 - Arsenal 1 

 Well this is it, tonight is City's first chance to reach the final of the Champions League. One thing is certain, in that if we do, we won't be meeting Peps team Bayern Munich who went out to Atletico Madrid last night
No prediction this time because I have no idea how we could possibly beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, but I will be both surprised and delighted if we do
