Synopsis This Is How It Felt To Be City: Manchester City 2011/12 Season Review by : Howard Hockin

Through the articles written by the author throughout the year, as the club moved from one controversy to another, you can relive the most amazing of seasons, from drug bans, to player strikes, from Derby day drubbings to the key moment in premiership history - there was rarely a dull moment..
