Manchester City Revolution

What A Difference 12 Months Can Make

As the first home game of the season approaches of what could be historic season for the blue side of Manchester I find my self thinking back to the situation 12 months ago. Let me remind you we had lost our opening fixture of the season away to Aston Villa 4-2 and there was board room unrest with Frank in Exile somewhere in the world after having his visa revoked. I remember thinking in the week after that opening defeat that this was just typical City, the but of everyones jokes, the laughing stock of not just the Premier League but the whole of football. But things were finally about to change, the whole club lifted by the return of fans favourite Shaun Wright Phillips then all football including all City fans stood in amazement as the multi billionaire new owners took over on transfer deadline day and the amazing signing of Robinho.

12 months on the club is virtually unrecognisable and firmly on the up with the rest of the football world standing in envy of what the club we all love is turning into growing in stature day by day. We all know it is still early days but theres is a real sense this could be our time to step out of the shadows from our red neighbours.

Saturdays game is one of those games that the City of old after all the build up would have gone on to lose, this weekend could be a real test of how far this club has come. I am 26 years old and have never seen Manchester City win a major trophy only hear the stories from the 70’s and for the first time in my life I feel it will happen and if this is to be the case this is the sort of game City must win and not falter. The entire team will need to work hard against what could be a very stubborn Wolves team.
