Hi Arthur

I have learned over the years to take pre-season's games with a pinch of salt. They are not realistic in any way shape of form of what is to come in the Premier league.

Of course they are important in relationship terms and in cementing links and connections both sporting and financial but while to win is nice, it is not an upset.

In fact Man City have lost both their pre-season games in the US of A.
So we are in good company.

Cheers
