Just watch that shambles of a team against Southampton and that is why Leicester are champions. KOLAROV,DELPH and BONY To name just three wouldn't get in their squad so why do we have to put up with shit like them
Spot on mate! Should be embarrassed with themselvesWhilst the world has jumped on the Leicester bandwagon and everyone seems to be giving them hearty congratulations and slapping them on the back I just feel angry. Really, really angry. That is my only emotion. Fair play to them and all that but how the fuck are they Champions?
At this moment in time, and I admit this may change dramatically by tomorrow night, I really could kick our lazy, arrogant team all around their plush dressing room. I don't think anybody would deny we have the most talented team so how are we labouring to scrape 4th place and miles behind bloody Leicester?
The answer is because they don't fucking care. They don't want to work. Don't want to run and chase. They don't want it badly enough. They are a team of pampered superstars led by a weak, ineffectual manager. Souness was spot on. They pick and choose when they can be arsed. Sevilla, Kiev, Paris. Yeah we'll make an effort. Sadly those performances are greatly outweighed by lazy, shit displays.
So sorry Leicester I don't feel your joy at all. I'm pissed off and I can only hope those in charge at our club feel the same way.
Who would most people want in their team, Kompany, Silva, KDB and Aguero or Huth, Drinkwater, Vardy and Albrighton? FFS we should have pissed this league and to think the dippers only got second with 86 points.
its an embarrassmentWhy is it an embarrassment? There is no divine right. We haven't played well all season for a number of factors, but mainly injuries and a declining squad that FFP affected more than people realise. There is still everything to play for. We may miss out but so be it.
The terms is used by united to describe city fans in years gone by when we were supposedly "bitter" about their success.The name is not exclusive to City fans,its been going around for years.But then again as an old twat I`ve probably seen and heard more than you, you young whipasnapper. ;)
I have moved on. I know this season has been disappointing to say the least, league wise,
but i'm looking forward and hoping that City are in Milan on the 28th May.
I like to be positive. It's the hope that kills ;-)
Spot on, most on this site have been deluded for a while. I questioned Sterling and Kolarov on here and got the usual youre a rag nonsense 6 months ago it was plain to see where this season was going back then.Many of you have missed the point so badly it is like a Navas cross. I am not bitter nor like a rag and it isn't spoiling my life. My life revolves around my family. City are a distant second.
My OP was that those in charge should be furious, we should be furious. It simply is not good enough. Not even close. We should be asking serious questions because if we are trying to be one of the world's top clubs then the performances this season cannot be accepted.
Peggy they can use my words "pampers superstars who pick and choose when they can be arsed" because it is true. Very true and those that believe otherwise are deluding themselves. Most need shipping out and rest, barring on or two, need a rocket up their arses.
Pep is staying 3 years, that it.To be honest I think the days of any manager staying long term has gone. I can see Pep staying for maximum 5 years which would be fantastic. What we really need is a change of emphasis and a more professional approach to each match preparation. Tactically and preparation wise are the two areas I believe Pellegrini is poor at. He wants his team to play a certain way and is inflexible which has cost us many points.He is also reactionary rather than proactive. I don't see us changing too many players, just a few key areas. Pep will instantly have the respect of the squad and hopefully for us fans, he will set us on a slightly different course that will put things in place for others to follow. Despite all the rubbish written on here - including some of my angrier posts after lethargic games - there is not that much wrong or put it another way, not a lot that cannot be fixed quickly with the right leadership. Look at Leicester to see how players can be motivated to perform week in week out. Granted we will have many more high pressure games and need a better quality in the squad. It will be interesting to see how Pep handles the poor quality of some of the senior players that don't play all the time. I for one think he will have a dramatic effect on players like Sterling and Nacho who have vast potential - not sure what he will do about Delph whose passing is terrible, I see Bony, Kolarov, Navas,Fernando and perhaps one surprise player departing.

The answer to your question why are we so far adrift of Leicester is quite simple.... Manuel Pelegrini. He has been consumed by the desire and greed to get the CL on his CV.... his attitude has been indisputeably... Fuck everything else!Whilst the world has jumped on the Leicester bandwagon and everyone seems to be giving them hearty congratulations and slapping them on the back I just feel angry. Really, really angry. That is my only emotion. Fair play to them and all that but how the fuck are they Champions?

Its been going for far longer than that I can assure you.Its also been thrown by the Dippers to the Toffees many many years ago.The Rags don`t have the monopoly on the phrase.its an embarrassment

Do we treat our players too well?...I mean do they have to anything for themselves outside of training/games?... Someone waiting on you hand and foot will only add to egos and over self importance.
He was down near the corner flag with Sergio at the start of the second half warming up (must have been for Madrid though).Buck stops with the manager. It's up to him to motivate the team. No excusing some of the players or even Txiki - you only have to look at Nacho's performance on Sunday to see what a 19 year old academy player can give you - but Pellegrini is the one who picks the team. He's the one's whose responsibility it is to pick the RIGHT players and the RIGHT tactics and he fails far too many times on both of those fronts. Kolarov's performance on Sunday was criminal, it was even more criminal he wasn't pulled off! I don't care if there was no proper left back on the bench (don't actually know if Clichy made the bench) but he should have been hauled off at HT. Our players are allowed to get away with murder.
AFL managers would have hooked him without a moments hesitation.I keep going over the second goal, and thinking that the manager should have hooked him there and then!
