The Official Manchester City Thread.......
I'm excited about the upcoming season with all that's been going on at city, a new owner
 , a new manager  and three new signings  Pre-season friendlies: Doncaster 1 - City 3  Orgryte 1 - City 4  Carlstad United 0 - City 4  Bianchi and Corradi are both scoring goals, academy players are excelling and latest rumours are we're after Atletico Madrid winger Martin Petrov. A prediction before the season starts: 6th in the prem (at least) and semi-final in FA cup (at least)

I never cared about Prem League but I have more "connections" to city than any other team, Thai owned and a swedish coach, so I hope they will be doing fine.

A season of midtable'ness again for City this year. They might do well in a cup if they BIG boys are still trying for other things come February.
LOoks like Petrov will be at Tottenham rather than city due to them showing interest since this time last year and him and Berbetov being 'mates'. I think City will be difficult to beat at home (S.G.Ericksson negative tactics!) but on their travels I think they will only win a few. But then this could work the other way round.

Difficult to beat home with negative tactics  I am not a fan of SG,but one thing shal he have,he have trained clubs like SS Lazio (1997-2001) -U.C. Sampdoria (1992-1997) -SL Benfica (1989-1992) ACF Fiorentina (1987-1989) -AS Roma (1984-1987) -SL Benfica (1982-1984) IFK Göteborg So he probably knows little about football,any other manager done the same in Brittan? And if i dont remember wrong he did win the league with both Lazio and Benfica,and even the cups. Dont think it was with negative tactics What he did with England dosent matter,who can do anything with them. Make gold of bricks can nobody do.

What he did with England was 2nd best England manager of all time .....He's also the ONLY manager in the world to do the league and cup double in THREE countries .......so I reckon yes, he probably does know a little about football .European football 2008/09, you saw it here first

How long you been out of the country? They have stoped the Anglo-Italian cup in the championship! His tactics suit Italian league very well. And is very Effective! But will it work with an English team in the premiership! Im not too sure. I think he will stablise the club and make them difficult to beat. But anyone who saw has seen any of his sides play, can say he plays with defensive tactics. Just go back to the world cup, where instead of bringing on a pacy player. He contiuned using the same tired players and negative tactics. Still he got England through to the penalty shoot-out! Oh yeah.........

Was reading Sunday (Daily) Mail on the way back to Phuket and good story in there about how Thaksin potentially going to get boned on his City deal as his real angle was to get into the Manchester Super Casino that Gordon Brown has now shelved. Oh dear ... poor old Mr T.

Snorter, I've been a die hard life long City fan but seem do not share your enthusiasm for success at Eastwood this season, just yet. We still need at least 2 or 3 more class players, he is still hanging with Corradi who has had a better start in the friendlies but remember the friendlies are against low class opposition.
I'm going to hope but realistically wait and see if we get any more new signings and see how we do against Valencia. 6th not sure, do you know the bookies have us at 4-1 to be relgated!! hmmm

At least there is 1 fan that is not delusional in thinking that miracles will happen overnight, I personally believe that it will take at least 2-3 years for city to be competitive with the top teams that is assuming they get cash injections to continue building the team over that period..........

Saw in the paper today that Thaksin wants Sven to bring a couple of Thai international players to City.
I bet Sven will enjoy his trip to LOS to check out the local talent!
