Prediction - Manchester City

Sven, Sven, Sven... His year out of the game has obviously been spent searching Europe for some top young players. It seems very much to me a long-term tactic. After last season's horrendously dull performance - I was so bored of them, that I can't think where they finished - dodgy human rights expoliter Thaksin Shinamatra will be looking to stabilise the side in mid-table and acclimatise some of the new players. I expect them to struggle in the league initially, but do well in a cup. And for the fans to have to resort to some other form of insomnia cure.
