If aguero is fully fit this season, we will need 89points to clinch the title, that is no small feat

I really dont think you can say that. It also depends on Toure, Silva, Zabaleta, Dzeko and others, if they could replicate their good form of last season, mainly Toure. And the hunger of the all team is also a question. City havent looked that motivated last season and they lost points because of their apathetic approach, now their motivation could get even lower.

[Special Juan 27,101]

If we are to look at replacement strikers/fringe players and what they can offer then Dzeko is the example.

If we strengthen our CF line with a better option than Torres before the window we win a lot this season, if we don't, and if Costa misses through injury/suspension we have a huge problem, and that's without Costa being top notch.

Saw a City fan say they have a better manager than us. Speechless tbh, haha.

Fully agree with this, I like Dzeko and think he is underrated, would love him here but obviously City would never sell.

Do you have anyone else in mind who we could get?

Of course not, Pellegrini is a good manager but nowhere near Mourinho.

Just compare trophies won

Probably a 12 year old kid tbh, City have a very small fan base. I'd say your average City fan is more deluded than a scouser, mainly because of how bitter they've been after all those years in United's shadow.

yep, I'm in the minority here probably but I actually don't have too much of a problem with united fans.

City on the other hand.. Well just take a look at Bluemoon - predictions of them walking the league after one game, winning a treble, dominating Europe etc. Haha.

I'm glad on this forum that we're all realistic alongside optimistic.

How many Man City fans do you actually know?

They're a pretty decent set of supporters in my experience.

I saw a Chelsea fan call Lampard a judas. Every set of supporters has a few.

Enough to know they're a bitter bunch.

And lmao.. can't resist a dig can you, obsessed!

City is the team to beat.

Well, that escalated quickly!!

TERM has always been paranoid about city but he always praises UNITED

Indeed.

The old breed are bitter after enduring decades in United's shadow and the new breed are deluded.

The difference between Arsenal and Ramsey and Chelsea and Oscar is that Ramsey gets support when he plays badly (which he did a few seasons ago) unlike here when people can't wait to get on Oscar's back after a run of average or poor games.

Haha that's the biggest lie, Arsenal fans used to scapegoat Ramsey and blame everything on him and generally almost every one of them wanted to get rid of him. I know, I'm surrounded by them.

I'll just have to disagree. They're a good bunch who really went through some shitty times and stuck with their team. I'm sure there's a few numpties around as there are in every fanbase but I just don't recognise your characterisation of them from actually knowing a fair few City supporters and spending time in Manchester.

Now United fans have a vastly disproportionate number of cunts following their team as anyone who grew up south of Birmingham in the 90s will tell you.
