Bolton v City (League) – Sun 21 Aug 2011 [2-3 win]

September 7, 2012 admin Matches No comments

City went back to the top of the Premier League following a blood and thunder 3-2 victory over Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium.

First-half goals from man-of-the-match David Silva and Gareth Barry put City two-up before Ivan Klasnic reduced arrears before the break.

Edin Dzeko scored just after the re-start and it was the Bosnian’s strike that proved to be the winner, despite Kevin Davies pulling another goal back for Bolton just past the hour.

There haven’t been that many occasions in the past where these two teams have gone into the game knowing the winner would top the embryonic Premier League table, but with both sides starting their campaigns with a 4-0 win, the summit awaited the victors of this Greater Manchester derby.

A great start to the season and City looking strong

 

City v Swansea (League) – Mon 15 Aug 2011 [4-0 win]

September 7, 2012 admin Matches No comments

A fantastic win at the Etihad and the most amazing debut I have ever seen.

After a strong start from Swansea and impressive control of the ball the quality of forward play finally paid off.

4 second half goals from Dzeko (57mins), Aguero (68mins & 90+2), Silva (71mins) put Swansea to the sword and added 4 goals to our tally.

The Final goal from Aguero was one of my favourite moments of the season. I looked at my wife and she looked at me and we were both blown away.

Amazing to see a gantastic player like Aguero in the flesh for the first time, and what a debut at that.

scores 2 and sets one up, think Kim has a crush on him!

City v United (CS) – Sun 07 Aug [2v3 loss]

September 7, 2012 admin Matches No comments

City saw a two-goal lead slip against Manchester United in the Community Shield to lose 3-2 in a gut-wrenching derby at Wembley.

Goals from Joleon Lescott and Edin Dzeko had put the Blues in command against the Reds, but Chris Smalling and Nani had levelled the scores before the hour-mark as both sides served up a Sunday afternoon treat for the watching millions around the world.

A large turnout from our Supporters club with most leaving having seen a great game but wrong result.

More important Derbies to be had throughout the season surely!
