Anyone got a link to the video, it's not showing were I live. Which is odd as they have 90 million fans over here. Honestly.



Not the video - but this thread makes for funny reading for CITY fans:

Manchester United star Nani has confessed he could quit Old Trafford.

Nani said he could leave after five glorious years, as talks over a new contract appear to have hit a deadlock.

The 25-year-old winger said: “I have had five seasons at Manchester United and have won all the titles.

"Now I am really happy, but I don’t know about my future.

"Now I will study opportunities. Football is not only about England or Spain. It is possible to enjoy success in other countries.

“My agent is waiting on news about United. We have presented a counter-offer and now we are waiting on an offer from the club.”

It will be a huge blow for United to see the future of a player who also claimed he is alongside fellow Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the best in the world thrown into doubt.

Nani’s warning comes on top of them missing out on the Premier League title on the final day of the campaign.

The winger told Portuguese television station RTP: “It was a great pain to miss the Premier League title in the final minutes of the match. City were incredible with their luck.

“I can only hope that this Euro Championship is my Euro, and I am working hard for that with Portugal.

“My challenge is to be the best, be the number one and show that on the field.

"Myself and Cristiano make up two of the best wingers in the world and our statistics for our club show that.”


Hang on, I thought we were confidently told by his boss that these things "even themselves out over a season".

So will this be rolled out again next year, because that has now been blown out the water for Utd, finishing strong in last third of the season, well that didn't happen did it blowing an 8 point lead, on the other hand it can now be said about us.

I for one hope it is rolled out, if only so I can point out that the world has changed and the rags are no longer the force they were. Every opportunity to ram it back down their throats only brightens up my day.

Two seasons running now. Didn't we win all the remaining games after the debacle at Klanfield last season (3-0, with wurlitzer man scoring twice FFS)?

Also, let's not forget that they had the 'easier run-in'. Every time the last eight to ten games were examined by the pundits, United had the easier of the two teams. 'If they are there or thereabouts' ........

Thing is that's two seasons on the bounce we've finished with aplomb. After the Liverpool defeat last year we won every game (including the FA Cup Semi and Final) barring a 2-1 defeat to Everton (No surprises there).

Last Season
5 wins and 1 loss.
11 goals for 4 against.

We obviously fared a little better in our last six games this season,

6 wins
18 goals for and 3 against.

It's a bit pointless to take anything from Uniteds results at the back end of last season as Chelsea had imploded so spectacularly it was pretty much a one horse race for the title. Chelsea did IIRC manage to get into a similar position as us, beating them to draw level on points, but they bottled it. So the shite went 6 points clear with 2 games to go. Nevertheless in the last 6 league games they,

Won 3, drew 2 and lost 1.
10 goals for 4 against.

This season it was on the line with arguably higher stakes, because it would have been far worse loosing to us than the Chavs, but fear not Rag fans, you managed an unprecedented..

3 wins , 1 draw and 2 defeats.
11 goals for and 6 against.

Oh dear.

That's also the second season we haven't just finished well, but we've finished better than everyone, topping the form guide in both instances. Even WIGAN had a better finish to the season than the Rags by FIVE points, and you can't say they did it against just relegation fodder either.

Will we become the new media run in kings? I wouldn't put any money on it ;)

I wouldnt worry about it, as a club they are scared for life..

They will forever be thinking that we can always come back, no matter how many points we are behind..

They will forever be thinking that now matter how minutes there are left in the game we can still come back to win..

This season will have lasting damage physiologically ..
