Ah, the footballing theatrics of Manchester City! As we gear up for another Premier League season, I'm clinging to my sky blue scarf with even greater fervor because, believe me folks, this year we're not just eyeing the Premiership trophy—we're practically polishing it already! And that's not all; Manchester City is all set for a glorious march right to the FA Cup final too, and why shouldn't they? With a blend of historic grit and some of the finest talents in the globe, success isn't just hoped for at Etihad—it's expected.

Taking a blissful trip down memory lane, who could forget the monumental 2011-2012 season? The sheer drama encapsulated in that final game—Queens Park Rangers playing spoilers only to be thwarted by a moment of sheer genius from Sergio Aguero. “Agueroooo!”—three syllables synonymous with triumph, thanks to Martin Tyler’s iconic commentary. Ah, but not everyone was over the moon with how Tyler handled the narrative, especially one passionate City fan who, during an Aguero tribute night, accused Tyler of favouring QPR with his enthusiasm. City fans' passion—there's nothing quite like it, is there?

Onwards to the present, it's clear that City hasn't rested on their past glories. With a squad depth the envy of many, and a tactical maestro like Pep Guardiola at the helm, it’s no wonder the conversation veers not towards whether we might snatch the silverware, but just how gloriously we'll do so. Our recent performances whisper not just dominance but a promise of a spectacle—football played the City way.

Reflecting on the past, it would be remiss not to mention those glorious derby victories. The 6-1 thrashing of Manchester United at Old Trafford in 2011 still brings a grin as wide as the Ship Canal. And as we edge towards new clashes, expectations are sky high to relive such exultant moments.

As we await the coming matches, City fans everywhere hold their breath for what promises to be another chapter written in sky blue ink. The thrilling part of the saga isn't just in the potential lifting of trophies, but witnessing the making of legends, new tales of triumphs to tell alongside those of Summerbee, Bell, and Aguero.

So, as we gear up for the sensational drama of the Premier League, don’t forget to join me in keeping a light touch of humour to soften our rivals' blows. Speaking of humour, here’s a little jest aimed at our dear neighbours:

How many Manchester United fans does it take to change a light bulb? None! They're too busy living in the past to notice the lights have gone out!

Here's to a season of success, drama, and a bit of cheeky banter. Let the games begin! Manchester City to rise, once again, as the undoubted champions of England.
