Could September make or break us?

6 games in 18 days across 3 competitions is tough going.

I would like to see us win the first 5 to consolidate our position in the league and start the champs league well and get through to the next round of the Carling Cup. I think that is realistically possible and what we should be aiming for anyway.

I don't mind a draw away to Bayern to end the month!

nothing is ever won or lost (apart from the league cup) in September.

We hit the ground running for the first 3 fixtures now we have to do it all again. Its no good complaining about the Internationals either as most teams in the prem suffer from the same problem.

Its up to Mancini now to motivate the players and pick the squad that can deliver on all fronts. Not a job I envy tbh. Long gone are the times when you dream of managing your team. Nowadays I think even us fans realise what a thankless task it can be.
