For some time now, pundits have talked about Manchester City needing at least another season to be considered a team.

The ones who know argue that, as talented as the players City now has, they need time to gel, to become a unit.

I agree—to a point.

The season has started very well, with three league wins, a cup win, and a very impressive friendly win against Barcelona. All with no goals against.

It seems like the talented individuals are doing quite well already; imagine then what they will be like next season, or even in the second half of this season.

So tomorrow City faces its sternest test, Arsenal.

Prediction: City wins 2-0, with Adebayor and Ireland the scorers.

Throw all of the insults at me now, because I think come Saturday evening, I may well be looking rather smug.
