What;s going on? Balo man of the match and Milner scores a screamer. The world's upside down. Np Aguero, no Tevez, no Dzeko, keeping possession for 2 minuted when we couldn't keep it for two seconds when Ireland and Shay and Dunney were here.feck me

Just watched the highlights this morning and was mightly impressed.

Mario is what polite people would call a character and what we would call a nutter. But he's our nutter and we wouldn't want it any other way. His little cameo in the first half summed him up completely. A slip in front of the Villa fans brings a few jeers and taunts so Mario tells them to be quiet in a 'just you wait and see' sort of way then, surely enough a few minutes later a fantastically improvised overhead kick puts City one nil up.

A legend in the making.

Yes Clev, no Aguero, no Dzeko, no Tevez....and no Nasri too!....and probably most significantly, no Silva for most of the game, yet we still brushed aside the likes of Villa, who aren't a bad side by any means, with consummate ease.

Whisper it, but I'm starting to believe we really could win the title this season.

I've loved Mario right from the start. I think many couldn't see past his well publicised odd behaviour at first, but some of us saw the diamond underneath. He's really starting to shine now. An immense talent. I just hope we can hold on to him for a few years.
Yes, he's a bit of a nutter, but as Pillers says, he's our nutter and could become a huge legend at City.

Mario deserved MOTM, but mentions also to Milner and also De Jong who I thought was excellent once he'd shed the cobwebs. He makes such a difference to us. When he's in the side breaking down the opposition and protecting our defence we look much more solid all round.

Bring on the rags. Nothing to fear now.

But fear itself

Bloovic said we have a better squad than they do now. Rednose is starting his mindgames early, he must be worried. I don't think Mancini is unduly, he will be determined. I hope we beat them at the swamp, with a few goals from both sides, it will be a better game than the Liverpool game yesterday. If they score first, we know it's no longer over, we know we can score from anywhere. It used to be game over, but it just makes it more interesting even if it shortens my life by a year or two
