Football

I'm not one to be overly cynical, but can someone with a better understanding of football tell me:
does beating Newcastle ( a team who last season fucked it up royally, and then in this pre season have reappointed jokes kinnear) act as predictor of achievement?

NO, but this is the same team that two years ago tore most of the teams in the league a new one. It's just that now, they've gotten rid of the dick heads and brought in some extra class.
Pellegrini also seems to have made Dzeko feel like he's number one.

Of course that's the first game of the season but I was just very, very impressed by the Man City team.
