To be fair he's just been told what to say by BT sports .
A bit like Andy Hinchcliffe at Sky Sports .
The only way the likes of Sky and BT would get a balanced view about City is Paul Lake .

It wasn't a bad prediction. It's only really due to other teams being somehow even worse that we managed to clinch 4th.

The Klopp factor. Judge them a few months into next season.

Actually, we got it in on goal difference two days after the last day ;)He wasn't that far off, Christ.
Different had we walked it but we got in on the last day on goal difference.

There is merit in what was said.Well he was nearly right in all fairness!
He should have identified which areas need to be improved.
All of us here are in agreement that we need to improve. It's in which positions that we disagree.

I remembered to keep this for the end of the season,
from FourFourTwo
City won't make top four, says James
Manchester City are the weakest of the top four teams in the Premier League, according to former goalkeeper David James.
David James has tipped former club Manchester City to miss out on qualification for the UEFA Champions League.
City are expected to challenge for Premier League honours again in 2015-16 after finishing runners-up to champions Chelsea last term.
Former England international goalkeeper James, however, does not believe Manuel Pellegrini and Co. will be among the top four come next May, pointing to City's big-spending transfer policy.
City forked out a British-record fee believed to be as much as £49 million for Raheem Sterling, while fellow England international Fabian Delph also made the move to Manchester.
"I generally think Man City of the top four are the weak link," said BT Sport commentator James, who played 93 league games for City from 2004 to 2006.
"Man City, again, they have got all this talent, they have won the title twice [in 2011-12 and 2013-14] - or rather tripped over the line twice.
"Look at Chelsea last season. The title was won in November. If Arsenal had started better, I think Chelsea would have carried on longer just to win the league by 10, 15 points, whatever.
"I don't see the Man City model being right, just spending loads of money and acquiring players. It isn't necessarily the model of continued success. I have seen changes elsewhere and at the moment I am not seeing that at Man City. It is just spend a bit more and expect success."
James has predicted Liverpool, where he made his name during the 1990s, to replace City in the top four.
"I am not one of the owners but if you look at the whole business model there is a flaw somewhere and, at the moment, they might think it is at the coaching level," the 45-year-old added.
"I think this is the season of the coach. I think with the new coaches they have a great chance of qualifying for the Champions League at the expense of Man City."
Won the title by Christmas Even though we were level with them on New Years day, interesting memory there

I particularly chuckled about the bit where he said he had no connection to the business and wouldn't know what the business plan was but there was something seriously flawed with it. How many years did the cnut study at the LSE to wind up bankrupt?

So we stumbled over the line when we beat Manchester United who were 8 points ahead (I think?) in the final weeks of the season? What a fucking ****. What is it with Ex City players?
I reckon this stems from some sort of deep seeded hatred and jealousy towards the fact that "they" weren't here when Mansour took over and they think they missed out on a lot of money.
Bet they would not have complained if they'd still be playing for City when the money came.

He said by November... What a clown.
Keep hearing this though... How Chelsea had it wrapped up by Christmas... So annoying.
