Blue Moon Rising???


There is already talk of Manchester City being the new force in the EPL after their win over Chelsea.All of a sudden,people say Chelsea can't now compete with City's money,ManUtd have got either too old veterans or too young Rafaels and Evans,and Arsenal aren't a threat anyways...But is it really true??? Are ManCity really good enough to challenge for title?? I don't think so.
First thing,they weren't too great in their win over the Champions.Yes,they deserved the win and all that,but when it was 0-0, they weren't really ready to go all out and win the game.For a team talking about Title dreams,you can't afford to play for a draw in home games,let anybody be the opponent.And while they have now beaten Liverpool and Chelsea already,they have also lost to Sunderland and drawn at home to Blackburn.That's City's problem,they can beat the big boys,but what about the minnows??? For 3 consecutive years,Man Utd won the title,by not destroying Chelseas and Arsenals,but by being efficient versus the lesser opponents.Even Last year,although Chelsea beat Manutd ,Arsenal home and away,the real reason for title,was their responses to defeats by City and Tottenham.They just went on long unbeaten runs,that really put the title away from other contenders.
Man City have now got Newcastle and Blackpool to play next,and a lot will depend on whether they can take 6 points from these 2,otherwise the "Blue Moon Rising" might turn out to be a daydream!!!
