Sadly Adebayor can't play against them as the EPL rules forbid loan players from playing against their owner clubs. Just when some fire-power is needed!  :tickedoff:

I suspect whoever plays up front (Defoe probably) will be very aware that a good performance will be needed wearing their shooting boots with Adebayor in the wings ready to take their place. Hopefully this will inspire our forward line to show that they can score goals !!!!!

Hey Guys, thought this was the most appropriate place to post what I'm about to say so here goes.

We (The Sky Blue View) are a new blog aimed at Manchester City fans but every week we do a match preview which involves a fan of the opposition side to answer a few question about their side, and the game ahead. Our three previous previews turned out to be hugely successful, with hundreds of views from fans of both sides.

Here is a link to our most recent preview: http://theskyblueview.blogspot.com/2011/08/match-preview-bolton-wanderers-vs.html (http://theskyblueview.blogspot.com/2011/08/match-preview-bolton-wanderers-vs.html)

Anyway, now to what I was going to ask. Would anybody like to take out 20-30 minutes to answer these questions? If you are interested, send us an e-mail at theskyblueview@gmail.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks!  :)

Lads got to say there;s no need too panic we;ve only 37 league games a season as old trafford since the  inception of the prem has yeilded the huge tally of 2 points in 19 odd games so nothing new last monday then .
On sunday however i;m very positive that 3 points are on the way as we will beat city cause we are a better team than they;ve met so far and also our record against city is massive .
also got too say our 1st eleven is as good as theirs if not better and we should have no inhibitions about them for sure .

We will need to score at least 3 to beat City because with our central defenders we can expect them to score at least twice in 90 minutes.

Whatever happened to Bentley? Is he out on loan again? Haven't heard his name in ages.

He's not loaned out. I was actually surprised that he didn't even make to the subs against Hearts. I somewhat feel sorry for him. Seems that nobody wants him, he's certainly not getting a chance from Redknapp. I thought he played failrly well when he played some games last season... They even gave him number 38 instead of 5 for this season. I mean, how much more can one humiliate a player?!

Didnt watch the game what went wrong FFS,

We have conceeded 8 goals in the last 2 games and scored once, a goal by a defender I might add.  Last seasons short falls have come back with menace, where is Gomes and why we got some many key players injured already FFS!

I kn   :yids: :spurs: :spurs: :spurs: :spurs: :spurs:w its early days and that we have played two of our toughest games of the season and that by nature I'm a glass half empty type og guy but I've got to say Iam under enthused by both of our performances to date.  We looked like we've no belief there appears to be something wrong in our attitude.  As soon as we go a goal down we seem to panic.  At least when JD came on he had ago.  Azza looks like he has no confidence whatsoever.  Corluka looks slower than ever.  And there's our evr growing injury list.  As I said to begin with I'm a glass half empty kind of guy but it looks like its gonna be a long season.
Being Irish I also happen to be a lifelong Shamrock Rovers fan so I'm really lookin forward to our Europa League campaign. :spurs:  Come on de Hoops

It really hurts to see us at the last place in the league table...

Ok so we have been humilated at home...... we are bottom of the table...... and we still haven't sorted out the transfer problems we have !!!!
 
BUT...... we have only played 2 games against the two sides that are going to be more than likely the top two come May. Man Ure wasn't an ideal first game of the season especially at Old Trafford, we have an appalling record against them there even when we win it's taken away from us, and then theres Citeh a team thats spent around £350 million on players in 2 years and turned up today with a £100 million attacking line. It's not an excuse because we are better than that but I can understand why it's happened.
 
Our next game against Wolves away will be a different prospect, we will have Adebayor up front along with a probable 2 or 3 new players. I fully expect us to improve considerably and come the end of the season we will be somewhere near the top four if not in it !!!!
 
Lastly if you think we have problems take a look 4 miles down the Seven Sisters Road, at least we know which way to go to see the light !!!!!!!

I agree with Ugs. Although it is disappointing to lose these games, it was exactly what most of us must have expected. We simply cannot compete with either club and I doubt anyone else will either. It was extremely unfortunate that these turned out to be our first 2 matches. Having seen Everton, we would have fancied an opening day win. I am concerned , however, that Wolves away will be a very tough match for a team short on confidence and have to hope that 2 or 3 new signings may give us a boost. Perhaps, for once, the international break will help? ledley seems to have fallen completely off the radar again, not even being mentioned as ' on his way back to fitness'.   Still feel we need to sort out a better system at home to accommodate VDV, as playing 1 striker is not going to be enough to win games.

The next few days should be very lively.
