Merry Christmas!

Just a quick message of good will to Blues up and down the country and beyond.

It's been a funny old year, not best summed up by the events of the last week or so. There have been highs; some of the summer arrivals, three great wins over the Arsenal, and the UEFA Cup run stand out. Of course, there have been the lows, too; the recent draws, last January's cup humbling, the late defeat at The Swamp, and the manner of the recent managerial dismissal, to name just a few.

We now find ourselves on the verge of both a new year and era at the club, and as we all know, it's never boring following the Blues. I'm sure we're all secretly compiling lists of hopeful arrivals, and dreaming of the new manager guiding us to success. Here's to 2010 being a great year for Manchester City Football Club, but firstly, good health and wishes to you all and your nearest and dearest.
