A day of ironies
- Thread starter Thaksinssoldier

Another irony was that a penalty should have been awarded, and it would most likely have won the game, but the game was won by a penalty, because they were so shit at them, despite spending the last 45 minutes hoping to stay in it long enough to take it to penalties.
I will admit I was shitting myself for the penalties. In 99 as soon as it went to pens I knew we would win, I just had the feeling that it was going to be our day.
I didn't have that feeling today and I honestly thought they were going to fluke it on pens. So fucking happy to be wrong.

Just got home and handed the grandchildren back to their dad, who is a Liverpool fan, though he's pleased that we won for them.
Now, as I don't have work tomorrow, err, today, we're having a rum and enjoying the day.
Good final and a great performance by City, even if we were somewhat profligate in front of goal. Yes, that means you, Raheem.
Great finish by Dinho for our goal and disappointing that we conceded so late, but without that equaliser, we wouldn't have had the great drama of the penalty shoot-out nor Willy's heroics.
Vinnie was my MotM, though to be fair, none of them played badly.
Hopefully, this will give them all a boost, and we will go on a run that leads to another Premier League title.

Shame about the second line. Worst ever goalkeeper? Why can't people just celebrate a top day and a trophy, without constantly having a dig?
Not sure Caballero should ever be classed our worst ever goalkeeper!
Neither of you do irony, then?
not seen that before, arrogant fucker, adds extra cream to my already cream laden cake

I do do irony but context is everything. The OP has now edited his OP and put quotes around the worst goalkeeper bit and it now fits in nicely with the rest of the post.Neither of you do irony, then?

Both goal scorers missed their penalties
Willy is definitely not our worse ever GK
First time a Willy has won the COC Final

haha hope your future wife doent read bluemoon,and any pics of the engagement night :)Fans were calling him a coward, a bottler, a ****. Those fans should hang their heads in shame.
The man is a class above what many City 'fans' deserve.
I've been a season ticket holder since 1988, I'm unfortunately away celebrating my engagement in Vienna and I actually considered hoping those vile Scouse cunts won based on the behaviour of our fans in the pre match. If I could be arsed I'd dig them out and name them.
I've gone on record before on here and said, some of our fans are zn utter disgrace to City and where we've been, and shere we are going.

I think some are missing the distinction between professionalism and 'honour, integrity and loyalty'.
A professional manager would play his strongest team, and Hart is a much better all round keeper than Willy. In the same way a professional manager would park the bus and use other defensive tactics to win games on a regular basis as stopping the opposition is easier than creating chances. I don't mean tightening up in midfield as we should have done yesterday but choking the life out of the sport as Maureen and the Turtle were doing earlier this season.
With Manuel we a manager with honour integrity and loyalty. This would not have been demonstrated to such a degree had we managed to add a second as Willy didn't have much to do in the 90 minutes but was justified in the shoot-out. Willy isn't a bad keeper but he's nowhere near Hart, and I don't think he's as good as Pants was. But he's not as bad as many of the nightmares named earlier in this thread or in one or two others. Those who actually meant he was our worst ever keeper are so fucking stupid they probably couldn't find their heads in order to give them a wobble.
But back to the "stubborn", "useless" etc manager. He took a chance and it paid off. Perhaps he thought there was a good chance of penalties; I'm sure Joe and Willy practise saving them. Perhaps he thought we were good enough to win whoever played.
But Pellers has spent two and a half seasons promoting the human rather than robotic side of management. He wants to entertain the fans (see the number of goals we scored when winning the league in 2014), he isn't a snidey clown, he doesn't spit his dummy when know-nowt reporters ask stupid questions (though he's told a few truths recently) and he doesn't hide his failings behind the incompetence shown by visually challenged match officials. He may not be the best manager in the world, but he's probably the best man in football management.
