Rolling back the years?

Soccer City FC 26 October @ 05:14 PM EST

Jamie’s report: Man City 2-2 Fulham

Craven Cottage Newsround 26 October @ 03:13 AM EST

Our man in the North was at Eastlands on Sunday:

Man City 2-2 Fulham

A crazy match, as our trips to Eastlands always seem to be. The common factor, of course, is the home side: City's star-studded ranks play with such abandon – committed to attack despite leaving generous space behind – that it seems Hodgson's normally conservative outfit can't help but join in the fun.
