[Razmataz]

As an avid City fan I've been hugely excited from the appointment of Sven, the change of board to Thaksin [don't give me a lecture on what the thai's are accusing him of] and the 8 players who he's brought in.

I'd like to think the new 8 players will add competition and more diversity for places within the squad, something that was severly lacking last season, and with all due respect the season before. I expect a torrend of United fans from [Scarbrough] to give me their opinions on how we're going down and all that balloney, just because of the fear which is currently circling them.

I was hoping we'd buy Scott Carson from Liverpool, but who knows what Sven is signing on Monday.

Just have to wait and see how we pan out, and with the DERBY a week after the season starts, just wonder whether we can snap up on United heels.
