2nd place in the English Premier League without Mario Balotelli, Jerome Boateng, Aleksandar Kolarov, Wayne Bridge and Michael Johnson.
Without our strongest wing backs and most promising out and out striker, We have brushed aside Chelsea the strongest team, while playing some of the toughest sides in the league.
That shows exactly how strong we are but with foot on solid ground, I believe we are still not finished and predict one big signing along with a few youngsters arriving.
I am quite optimistic about the rest of the season and think we should be looking forward to Champions League football, the only thing that could possibly stop us from reaching the Champions League is a long string of injuries.
With that said I'd like to take a quick look at whats going on over in Merseyside.
On my travels around the world wide web these past 5 months I have noticed Liverpool fans slagging us off and abusing City, now I could not care less about what they think of us but need to put their rants to the test.
They fired comments at us like 'Hope we never have owners like City, they have lost their soul' or 'trying to buy the league and we earned it through hard work' not to mention branding us scum.
Along with Man United fans, Liverpool fans freely forget the only reason they WERE at the top of English Football like United were because of money / investment, everytime they won something it was off the back of cash.
What they should have been saying is hope we don't get owners like United's Glazer family.
They have been protesting against Hicks and Gillett and have finally got what they wanted now that they are getting new owners, how do they feel about swapping one lot of American businessmen for another lot of American businessmen.
Do they feel safe in the knowledge that these businessmen are pretty much the same as United's Glazer family.
They could find themselves in the same position as when United first gained the Glazer family, but they could also find themselves in the same position as United are now later on down the line.
They also should be hoping their owners are like ours instead of sitting up on their thrones looking down as if they are the best in the world, was it not Barcelona who won the last Champions League title?.
