Europa League

And are a very good side.
Sevilla sit 12 points behind Villareal in La Liga. Finals are always tough

Whose sniggering at Liverpool now. We could do the same although obviously would much prefer to be in the Champions League
 
After this disastrous league campaign, for me its either the CL or nothing. I'd rather Pep have a season where he can repair the damage done to our squad and rebuild it in his own image with only domestic cup competitions as a distraction.

Next season could conceivably see City, ManUre and Chelsea with no European football which would mean a battle royal between Pep, Conte and Maureen fighting for the PL title. Whatever happens, this season has been a defining watershed which could change the footballing landscape forever.

Why I'm so fuckin pissed off is because we should have taken full advantage of this topsy turvy league and been well clear of the Euro-chasing scrum and champions, but thanks to our performances over the last two season, we're right back where we were 7 seasons ago in the thick of it all........ Nice leaving present.
 
I missed the rule change about what happens if Palace lose at Wembley, but currently, City have only qualified for the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League, and in a worst case scenario, this could easily happen.
And that is my biggest worry as it means the first game at the end of July. Not a biggie in some years but a potential bloody disaster in a year with Euros, Copa America and Olympics. Those tournaments will seriously hamper Pep's pre-season plans. Fifth will be disappointing but at least the group stages don't start until mid September.
 
Yes, that's true. Txiki must be now questioning his decision to bring in Pelle and the transfer decisions that followed.
Bringing in a caretaker manager for three full seasons was a recipe for disaster. His success in the first season meant most of us took our eyes off the long term picture.
 
lifted this from the mirror.

Pellegrini is making way for Pep Guardiola this summer and said he is determined to leave his successor Champions League football
he HAS to be taking the piss.

Imagine if he plays the kids the remaining 2 games
