I think his contract expires at the end of next season. And yeah, I'd happily have him back here, I think he could do a job, and contribute with a few important goals. Rather have him back then buy someone like Andy Carroll.

Just out of interest, was this considered a major trophy at the time? If we'd had won it would we still be considered as having not won a major trophy for 34 years? Would that banner still be up in OT?

The amount of times we have said we have winnable games coming up but then gone on to lose them is insane. They are winnable, but lets not forget they are also loseable. Fulham (a) 1-1 Stoke (a) 2-0 Bolton (h) 2-0 West Ham (a) 2-1 Everton (h) 0-1 Thats the way I see it panning out. Although I...

This would be too harsh on the smaller clubs. Some smaller clubs face the bigger clubs, and fight really, really hard for a 0-0, and to suggest they should get no reward for that is very, very harsh. Also, why should they have to attack? And, not only that, should managers of smaller clubs...

Lots of other people have had pops at City to be fair, and Hughes would have had more reason than most to be quite honest.

If you consider the circumstances at the time, how can people say Sven did a better job than Keegan? Keegan took us back up, in some style, that was a harder task than some might think. Then he guided us to 9th, which, ironically, was the same position Sven took us to. The difference is, Sven...

Thing with those derbies from 07/08 was that Rooney didn't play in either of them. And I like how he's named himself in there...

"An empty piggy bank"? What about the money he spent on Elano, Bianchi, Fernandes, Garrido, Petrov, Bojinov, Corluka, Benjani and Caicedo? And didn't we only sign Benjani because it was late in the transfer window and we we had to look quickly for someone who would be availible?

Yes. I probably would have. Although would Sven have matched Hughes' efforts, I'm not fully sure. Yes he'd have probably taken us beyond 10th in 08/09, probably would have qualified for Europe, but I don't think he would ever have been the man to take us to 4th last season. Absolute beauty of...

I'm glad of the Bellamy chants to be honest, the crowd were making their feelings clear to Mancini about a player they thought he has made a mistake with. That was good to hear. That said, how would Bellamy get into this team anyway apart from as an impact sub? It'd be very difficult to keep...

Ridiculous. How does he get in ahead players such as Shawcross, Upson, Cahill, even Dann and Roger Johnson? At least Micah is in there! Really pleased for him. The inclusion of Bothroyd is almost as ridiculous. Yes he's done very well for Cardiff, in the Championship, but he didn't make much...

I think he could sitll be a very good player, and could play a significant part at the club. Problem is, just can't see a way into the first team for him. Even Vieira may be ahead of him in the pecking order (yes I know they are different types of players), but still. Would loaning him out for a...

Yaya hasn't impressed me at all playing for City yet, and, it's frustrating because he must have some pretty good qualities, or he wouldn't had succeeded at Barcelona like he did. Maybe we could look at changing his role in the side. I actually think, that, in general, Barry has been all right...

Surely it's simple, the other three fit into Mancini's gameplans better than Johnson. Nothing personal, Mancini just musn't want to pick him and must think Milner suits the team better.

Pretty memorable one then! :)

I'm surprised Fergie still continues to do this. It's so predictable now. Rooney will play but Kompany won't give him a kick :) .

Boxing day I think :) .

Wigan away, in 2005/06, lost 4-3. Sibierski put us 1 up early on, then Wigan stormed back and we found ourselves 4-1 down. A late fight saw us pull it back to 4-3, Joey Barton scored a pretty good goal as I recall.

Stuggling to decide what formation to have with City, I'm stuck between a 4-4-2 diamond, and a 4-2-3-1. 4-4-2 diamond: Hart Srna---Toure---Kompany----Kolarov De Jong Yaya------ Milner Silva Adebayor--------Tevez Subs: Given...

Looks like it's Loris Karius in net then...
