Big vote of confidence for the lad at the back

If we can just get the three points today then going into the international break, we will have had a decent start to the season.

City to win 3-1. Come out swinging.

Points will be dropped this weekend with chelsea V Gooners and Dippers V Villa 

We're a couple of points behind a Liverpool side who have a new manager. They are bound to have a dodgy period yet. But we can only get stronger from here.

The way things are going, I'm not sure that we should be odds on in this one.
