It's been a season of change and consolidation at Maine Road..,Goalkeeping legend Peter Schmeichel hung up his gloves after some amazing performances, Shaun Goater hit the 100 mark in his final season as a Manchester City player and new additions included Robbie Fowler and Nicolas Anelka. Injury saw Wanchope, Macken and Tiatto miss a lot of the action, whilst younger Joey Barton emerged from the Academy to become a first team regular. Highlights are no doubt the four points taken from rivals Manchester United in a great 3-1 victory in the last league Manchester derby at Maine Road and a sharing of the points in a pulsating match at Old Trafford. All the goals and all the games are included, such as a memorable scalp over Liverpool and the Niclas Jensen goal of the season in a thrilling win over Leeds United in January. City marked their return to the Premiership with a respectable 9th place finish and although European football had been Kevin Keegan's target, the Blues have created a stable base on which to build on next season.
