Well our little run of good results has ended, how that managed to happen is just a mystery to me.
I have no idea what happened today that meant we didn't leave Villa Park with three points, we played well, we created chances and Villa could not handle us.
The team were playing well and when we went ahead it was an overdue well deserved goal, then Villa out of nowhere equalised and stunned us, the goal shouldn't of stood due to an offside but that was just the first bit of luck Villa got.
We were back in front six minutes later and we were able to breathe a sigh of relief, surely we were going to go on and secure the game, it wasn't to be. Villa got their second piece of luck when the referee decided to award a free kick because Weimann decided to jump over Nastasic's leg, the poor refereeing was followed by a good free kick that managed to beat Joe Hart who was for some reason, stood behind his wall.
Surely we were not going to walk away with anything else but three points after totally dominating this game? Actually not only were we not going to take three points, we didn't even hold on for a draw. Villa's miraculous victory was complete when Guzan pumped a ball up field only for our defenders to get into a mess and let Weimann run on to it and toe poke it past the on rushing Joe Hart.
This was unbelievable today, how Villa managed to win is just crazy, saying that although it cant be denied that we gave Villa a footballing lesson, I am sure Villa fans would be quick to point out that we did make mistakes. Joe Hart's positioning was poor for the free kick and then obviously our defence totally made a mess to let Weimann through to score, ok so it was still remarkable that Villa won but if we had defended better in these two instances, maybe they wouldn't have.
We are five points off top spot now and while I am not overly worried on the back of this freak result today, we can't fall any further behind, we need to overhaul the deficit as soon as possible if we are to win the title.
A tiny set back today but lets not dwell on it because we have an exciting and a big game against Bayern Munich to look forward to on Wednesday.

Aston Villa vs Man City Live stream information
Up to now there are 26 stations that should be available to watch todays match against Aston Villa.
I know a lot of people are familiar with online streaming now but for those that are not, this should help.
If you go to the following link http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=216493&part=sports then you will see the page that will display the links to watch today's game, the links to the streams will not be displayed until one hour before kick off.
Each link will be run via a different type of software for example you may just be able to click one that will load on your web browser or there will be some where you have to download software.
Each stream will tell you which software it is being run on for example if next to one of the links it says Sopcast you will need to download the Sopcast player software. All software is available via this next link http://www.wiziwig.tv/software.php?part=software .

Aston Villa vs Man City - Sat 28th Sep 15:00 pm
Back to premier league duty for our in form City team, a trip to Birmingham to face Aston Villa is our next test.
I have to say I am really looking forward to the game today, we have been in really good form and I just don't see Aston Villa putting a stop to that.
Villa have had a good result against Arsenal this season and haven't really done much else, they have a poor home record and I only see that getting worse against City.
I don't want to be disrespectful to Villa but with Benteke missing from their team due to injury, I just don't see anyone else in their team who could inspire them to getting something out of this game. Villa are not the best at home either, they haven't managed to take any points from their first two home games and have conceded at home in their last 13 league games, couple this with the fact that City have won 6 of the last 7 against Villa and it helps me to believe that we will not see anything but a City win.
We are absolutely flying at the moment and if I am honest I think there could be another hiding handed out, with Villa on the receiving end. When we are on form the way we are at the moment we are unstoppable, games like this against Villa should be our bread and butter.
It would be nice if we could put this game to bed in the first half today so that we can take it easy for the remainder of the game, we have got Bayern Munich on Wednesday so if we can avoid tiring ourselves out and any potential injuries, that would be ideal. Of course my view on today's game is based on the consistent performances we have put in lately, that however could be very naive of me.
Man City Team News:
Sergio Aguero is set to be out after picking up a knock against Utd, David Silva (thigh) has been training but his return may be saved for the Bayern game. Demichelis (knee) is still unavailable for selection.
Aston Villa Team News:
Main man Christian Benteke is out with a hip injury, Ashley Westwood (thigh), Jores Okore (knee), Charles N'Zogbia (Achilles) and Gary Gardner (back) are also missing for Villa.
Possible Man City Line Up: Hart, Zabaleta, Nastasic, Kompany, Clichy, Toure, Fernandinho, Nasri, Navas, Dzeko, Negredo.
Possible Aston Villa Line Up: Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Clark, Luna, Tonev, Delph, El Ahmadi, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Kozak.
My Prediction: Aston Villa 0 - 4 Man City.
Worth A Bet: Fernandinho scores the first goal on a 0 - 4 Man City win @ 230/1.

Man City 5 - 0 Wigan Athletic - Goals and Highlights
Another game and another win, a very comfortable 5 - 0 victory was secured with goals from Dzeko, Jovetic (2), Toure and Navas.
Our 'second choice' eleven breezed through to the next round of the cup, we played well tonight but the team certainly didn't have to overly exert themselves to secure the victory.
Although this wasn't our first eleven tonight with Marcos Lopes the only youngster in the starting line up, we still had a strong team. We won very comfortably at five nil but it could of and probably should of been at least six or seven, we wasted a lot of good chances.
If I were to analyse the game it would just be for the sake of writing words, there was nothing special about our performance as such, we just did our job and did it well. If there was anything to highlight it would of been the performance of Lopes, he is still only a kid but he looks very good and confident to boot, hopefully we will start seeing him around the first team a bit more so he can keep developing because he is far too good to be playing with his own age group.
We have had three good results on the bounce now and I am starting to get a bit excited about what this season could hold for us if we keep it up. I don't see why we cant go on to win the next ten games if I am honest, the team must be absolutely brimming with confidence at the moment and when you put confidence with class then you generally have a recipe for success.
Apologises for the short post but there is really nothing more to say about the game and I have unfortunately got work in the morning so bed beckons.

Man City vs Wigan Athletic - Tue 24th Sep 19:45 pm
The games and competitions keep coming and next up is the Capital One Cup third round tie against Wigan Athletic.
I am not going to be able to go into much detail about what this game potentially holds, with both teams expected to make at least a few changes to their starting elevens, but I will give it a go.
I have to say I am fond of Wigan, a Northern club who came all the way through the divisions to reach the top division, stay there for a while and then beat one of the best teams in Europe to win the FA Cup, what a brilliant story, saying that we owe them one and whatever team we put out I hope we smash them.
Wigan have had a patchy start to the season and have not really impressed, when I have managed to catch a few minutes of them here and there they have looked mediocre and the good brand of football they used to play under Martinez seems to have somewhat disappeared under what I consider to be a terrible manager in Owen Coyle.
Earlier I was reading an article where Owen Coyle was moaning about having to play too many games in a short space of time and basically that this is going to force him to make changes to his team against City, I agree with him I think it is wrong. Teams shouldn't be forced to come and play a top team like City without any time to prepare after playing in Europe and domestically, the chances of them being able to compete are cut right down and it does not help to make these matches attractive.
So we know Wigan are going to ring the changes but what about our beloved City, well we are certainly going to make changes but fortunately enough for us we can replace class with class.
After working hard to secure a very important win against Utd, Pellegrini will be keen to give his first choice players a break as well as trying to ease people into the first team picture. The likes of Richards, Jovetic, Pantilimon and Lescott are expected to come into the 'weakened' starting eleven and get the chance to impress the manager.
It is going to be hard work to try and pick the possible line ups, I am hoping to see a few youngsters playing for City but I will mostly go with players from the first team squad for now, so bear with me.
Man City Team News:
Demichelis (knee) is out, Clichy and Silva (both thigh) have both been training but it is unclear whether either player will be quite fit enough to make an appearance, Rodwell missed the derby with a knock and may come back into contention.
Wigan Athletic Team News:
Long term injuries to Ivan Ramis, Gary Caldwell and Ali Al Habsi mean that they miss out, Grant Holt is struggling with a knee injury and is unlikely to take part, Marc-Antoine is struggling with a hamstring injury and Shaun Maloney is doubtful with a back problem.
Possible Man City Line Up: Pantilimon, Richards, Boyata, Lescott, Kolarov, Milner, Garcia, Rodwell, Evans, Jovetic, Dzeko.
Possible Wigan Athletic Line Up: Nicholls, Crainey, Garcia, Buxton, Mustoe, Espinoza, Gomez, Beausejour, McCann, Dicko, Powell.
Obviously a shot in the dark when it came to the two teams, please feel free to have your say on what the line ups could be.
My Prediction: Man City 3 - 0 Wigan Athletic.
Worth A Bet: Jovetic scores the first goal in 3 - 0 Man City win @ 25/1.

Manchester City 4 - 1 Man Utd - Goals and Highlights
What a performance! I am already hearing a lot of excuses from people about why Utd lost today, the main one being Van Persie's absence, there are no feasible excuses though just one reason, City played magnificent.
We have been waiting for the team to put in a performance that displays their talent and they picked the perfect game to do just that, dominating a team like Utd the way we did sends out a fierce message to the rest of the league.
Everything went perfect today, the manager did his job well, the players did their job brilliantly and the fans did their job impressively, we couldn't of asked for more.
Pellegrini set us up as an attacking machine today, Nasri was preferred to Milner and Negredo chosen ahead of Dzeko, two decisions that had a big influence on the game. Nasri had his best game in a City shirt by far today, he tormented Utd and they just couldn't deal with him, Negredo was tireless up front and bullied Utds defence giving Aguero the freedom he needed to punish them.
It wasn't just those two that impressed today though the whole team were on top form, the defence didn't let Utd have a sniff with Kompany leading by example as always, the midfield finally looked like a solid unit led by Yaya who had his best game for a long time and up front Aguero and Negredo were running the Utd defence ragged, the team were just all round exceptional.
In terms of the title race this was an important result, it is easy to forget that we aren't just competing for bragging rights when we play Utd these days, we are coming up against a potential title rival. The three points are much more important than getting to go to work or school with a smile on our faces, they could be the difference come the end of the season.
This was hopefully a big step in terms of our season today, we have had two good wins on the bounce and confidence should be high, its time to kick on and consistently produce this kind of form.
