What a difference a year makes!

City fans enjoying a lovely day in North London

It was 365 days ago that a string of heroic saves from Joe Hart kept the clash between Spurs and Man City at a ludicrously flattering 0-0.

What a difference 365 days makes.

• The time allows a team to gel.
• The time allows Dzeko to get fit and used to the Premier League.
• The addition of Nasri and Aguero also has plenty of impact.

Three hundred and sixty five days later and the scoreline Tottenham Hotspurs 1 - 5 Manchester City severely flattered the north London boys.

Make no mistake, Spurs are not mugs, a top team, with a top manager Harry Redknapp who always gets the best from players. They play free flowing football and attack teams of any quality - no respect from them - rightly so.

For 20 minutes yesterday it was end to end, exciting stuff and could have easily been 2 a piece.

The thing is Spurs couldn't sustain that pace and attack and exciting though it was, City still had another two gears to change into and a turbo button. They changed up and floored Spurs.

It was simply to most exciting, beautiful football I have seen.

We out fought, out played and out classed a good Spurs team, who despite their current league form will be top six.

Nasri looked liked he'd always worn a City shirt, Dzeko was epic in holding and owning the line with clinical finishing. The midfield knocked the ball about with nonchalant ease, Silva was mercurial... I could go on.

The funny thing was a City mate couldn't make it at the last moment, so I took a Spurs friend with me - Stevo - to North London or Tripoli as it is now referred to - he really, really enjoyed being in the City end and doing the Poznan 5 times.

Happy, happy days!
