Swansea have a pretty decent keeper as well. Was he there last season and kept Maka out? Can't see how he managed to do that...

I remember people slating him heavily on here and I thought he was alright. #manyhibsfansareclueless? Or did I just not see enough of his off games?

No wonder they're paid lots of money
Watching the Man City V Swansea online. All 22 players are comfortable on the ball, ready to run a close down, ready to run into space, ready to support their team mates... what the **** have we got up in Scotland. Our bunch of lazy *******s don't know half of it and I mean the vast majoroty not just our players.
It really anoyys me that the players up here can't even do the simple things.
Geeeezzzz.. even Stephen Dobbie looks good!

Sergio Aguero looks like he'll be a star in the EPL this season, only came on this half and has scored 1 and made another, looks some player. Originally Posted by Barney McGrew

The best finisher in world football at the moment I reckon.
Some of these are unreal:

The second goal in this compilation is the first time I saw him play. Under-20 World Cup some years back. 4-0 against Poland. I was very drunk but he was unplayable that day as the goal shows.

There's no doubt that Man City have a lot of firepower up front and it would seem that they have a really good striker in Aguero, however it will take a lot more than a home win against Swansea to make me reconsider my tip for the title this season.
Swansea's likely to be relegated this season and are probably one of the weakest and least equipped Premiership teams in years.
Bring them on...

Dobbie wasn't good enough when at Hibs, you'll recall.

To be fair Dobbie of 5/6 years ago wasn't good enough for Hibs, he wasn't even good enough for St Johnston. However fair play to him, most players find it difficult to turn their careers around once they start trading down clubs - he could be used as an example for a lot of players.

Only 9-2 on Betfair, may be worth leaving it a couple of days to level out. Originally Posted by Barney McGrew

I dunno - I reckoned it would be pretty imbalanced this year, with Man Utd being clear favourites, but Man City REALLY impressed me last night. Originally Posted by FalkirkHibee

Weak or not, Swansea played some good football - they just didn't have enough to threaten the City defense. They will pose problems to some of the lesser teams in the Premiership this year.
It's hard to base on the first week, but Man Utd hardly looked comfortable against West Brom, who are hardly going to be up around the top 6, with very little "equipment" to note themselves.
Aguero, Silva, Dzeko, Kompany, Toure and Johnson all looked absolutely superb last night. If they can keep that up, they'll be genuine contenders and as much as I dislike the ludicrous amounts of cash they've spent to get there, it would be refreshing to watch another team win the league, or at least run it close. I'd quite like to see that team being City, as their fans have been subjected to complete arrogance from your lot for the best part of 2 decades.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

If David Silva gets injured I can't seeing them doing as well without him.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of arrogance if it's justified and can be backed up with valid reasons for it. Originally Posted by The Story So Far...

Given that, in the past two decades, Man Utd have won 12 Premiership titles, 2 Champions League titles, 4 FA Cups and 4 League Cups and, in the same period, Man City have spent 4 seasons in the Championship, 1 season in League One and only secured their first major trophy in 35 years last season, I think it's easy to see why the fans of Man Utd have displayed a bit of arrogance in their local rivalry with City.
You're right, though, United were far from being at their best against West Brom but with Roy Hodgson at the helm now, I'm willing to bet that they'll finish a lot higher up the league than Swansea will and I fully expect that when Man Utd play Swansea at Old Trafford, the outcome will be similar to last night's match.
I'll start to worry about City winning the league if they're about 10 points clear in February or March, not after one game against the new boys.

Nothing in this world would make me laugh more, and I include the yams folding in this, than City to end up higher than united. The crap they have had to put up with for years is ridiculous, and as said above, whilst I don't agree with the ludicrous sums of money being paid, it will be an absolute joy to see if they could manange to topple united. A bit like Falkirk supporters scoffing of the Shire maybe?
