    Fernandinho and Navas look like excellent signings. With Jovetic and Negredo on the bench to add the Aguero and Dzeko, this really is a mouth watering side.

    Chelsea and City's first halfs have impressed me. I think it'll be them two who will be fighting for the title.

    I think if Chelsea beat United next week it'll be a two-horse City v Chelsea race. If not, I think it'll show United are still well up for it, they don't have a lot of depth but they are still a title winning side.

    Silly yellow for Debuchy. Glad the referee booked him for it though.

    We're going to have to strengthen the stadium foundations when we play them - Yaya Toure vs Big Vic could well register on the Richter scale...

    Bit early to say that! United are generally slow starters.

    I know I know, and I hate predicting early as much as the next person, but I genuinely believe if Man Utd don't show their quality early then Chelsea and City will just run away with it.

    I probably am underestimating them a bit. But Chelsea's and especially Man City's squad is far better equipped. I don't know if the Utd players will be able to handle the pressure of the Champions tag as well as they did with Fergie. Time will tell I guess.

    Taylor sent off. 5-0 now looks all the more possible

    Steven Taylor for an elbow on Aguero.

    I'd have been very upset not to have been given it were we in City's boots. Oh dear, Taylor off....

    One gets the sense that all of Newcastle's defenders want to get sent off.

    Not the most full-blooded blow, but no reason to swing his arm in that fashion.

    The ref seems a bit too card happy. Can see more reds in this
