    Just spouting rubbish.. he clearly congratulated city.. and said they deserved it.. which is more than you have done this year with the 'we threw it away'.. a tad hypocritical..


    First Thatcher dies, then Ferguson retires.
    Somewhere, there is a Scouser with a lamp and one wish left.
    Iain my favourite part of all this media spin is this line of "He's left them in a great position".

    Two players retiring, a star centre forward who has maybe 2 seasons left in him, once centre half in his mid 30's, another who can barely manage half a season, Rooney who's form goes up and down more than the members of his local bingo club etc.

    In the next couple of years that side is going to need major surgery and he's got out before it goes horribly wrong.

    RVP two seasons left? :w00t:

    I'm not worried Danbert, because I look across at cITY and see your over-reliance on one player (Yaya Toure)....

    ...then I see the players who are unsettled like Tevez, Kolo Toure, Dzeko, Nasri, Barry & Lescott amongst others....

    ...then I look at the players like Van Persie, Hazard, De Rossi and Agger who you failed to sign last season.

    ...then I look at the players you did sign like Rodwell, Garcia, Sinclair and Maicon...

    ...then I look at how old and stressed Mancini is looking...

    ...then I look very carefully at how you were forced to sell Balotelli to meet the UEFA fair play rules...

    ...then I look at you potentially being kicked out of the Champions League, losing even more revenue...

    ...then I have a good laugh. Every cloud has a silver lining.

    Re: Tonight's football thread

    Regardless of the club, I have wanted Moyes to get the chance at a top 4 club for sometime. Most of the big clubs only have eyes for overseas. It's hard to say with Man U as they have had only Fergie for so long and also Arsenal.
    But Chelsea have a poor record - despite the trophies won - and they are a club in a bit of a mess - 23 players out on loan.
    I was pleased when Liverpool went for Rodgers - and the early signs are promising.
    If man U go for Moyes, I will be pleased for Moyes - he will be going to a great club with a good squad.
    Young Keeper, Young defence with able experience, and more options in attack that perhaps any other Prem club.
    One good top class midfielder will help.

    I agree about Moyes. I wonder who will take over at Everton after Moyes leaves - Rafa? that could end his Liverpool love affair

    I hope they give Fergie a good present to mark his retirement.......A gold watch, perhaps!

    How about Stuart McCall currently doing ok with Motherwell. Also I mentioned Jim Reid, having read an article about him, for Leeds but maybe he'd be good for Everton!?

    Sorry mate, you've lost me?

    Been busy at work it that's what you mean. April / May time is the busiest time of year because of the tax year end and have my second son coming in 2 or 3 weeks so been DIYing when not working.

    Don't really have time to get on here much nowadays!
