Although City played well, I'm not sure if they were actually THAT good or Newcastle were just absolutely abysmal. Probably more of the latter.

[Jype 6,398]

City looked good, although I will wait till they face a proper opposition before making any judgement. They're playing against United in a few weeks, aren't they?

Once again very impressed by Dzeko even though he couldn't find the net today. Cheeky bid for him if we fail to get Rooney?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Newcastle relegated, cluelessness all around the club. City were pretty good but newcastle just let them attack them time and time again.

always expected City to be strong opposition ..they looked very good BUT SO DID WE ,,,,,

Yes, City face Cardiff and Hull next (meh!) before traveling to Stoke and hosting United at the Etihad.

Newcastle shot themselves in the foot with that line up. Sissoko, Tiote and Guiterraez in centre midfield against Man City away is criminal. Should have went for a more defensive outlook. Newcastle were very very very poor.

Lol Carragh.

If we're being completely honest here, City are stronger than us in every area of the pitch except for attacking midfield.

They have a better defense, better forwards, and a vastly superior central midfield.

We buy one player in each of those areas however and it would probably take us above them. It's going to take a hell of a lot to finish above them but I have faith in Jose.

Hopefully we're keeping some ultra secret deals going behind the scenes.

Sergio Aguero is back for Manchester City after injury and scored second goal for City. I wanted him so badly in our team.

[Toli 977]

city have obviously the better squad. strikers wise they are miles ahead. defence is quite smiliar to ours, their DM is great (fernandinho was awesome today). they have good wingers etc and many options on the bench. clearly the favorites for the league title.

and pellegrini is a real coach not like mancini. I can see them succeeding in the CL too.

So one whole week of hearing how City are this super team that will take over the world, great.

Epeople forget how unpredictable football is and that anything can happen untill now and the end of the season. City did look mustard tonight but look at how we started last season allbeit with a weaker squad.

[Tomo 21,733]

We finished 3 points behind City last season and have considerably improved our squad, the only difference between us last season was the head to head's.

I can see City dropping a lot more silly points than us this term, which could be the difference even if they beat us twice.

No way now. We had a slight chance before they appointed Pellegrini, but now I definitely can't see them even considering to sell.

[Shane 2,275]

We started like a train in previous seasons and came up short. A 4-0 home win to Newcastle isn't going to win you the league!

[Kojo 4,676]

I remember two seasons ago Man City looked the bomb at the beginning of the season, what happened then? That's right they found themselves 8 points behind United with 6 games to go, and they where very lucky to win it.

Stop deciding the title in the first game of the season!
