Great point, NCB, I'd felt the same without putting pen to paper on the fixtures as you have.

One would think, too, that City will be stronger early in the New Year as Ramsey + O'Dowda return and the roster is strengthened with promised acquisitions.

Let's hope Bulut has one or two names on his wish list to make impacts similar to that which Goutas and Siopis have done.

And hopefully we will still be in or around the top six so persuading players to join the revolution will not be too difficult.
