Just as the European season gets into some sort of rhythm, the international break comes along to screw everything up. Regulars to this column will know that I’m no fan of international football, but placing the new season’s first…
It’s early season yet, but I’ll be damned if I’ve seen a better start than the one Man City are currently enjoying. Three matches, eight goals scored and none conceded. Not half bad. Including their form at the tail-end…
