The battle for 4th place

[MadchesterCity]

And caused turmoil amongst several of the players, who probably would have left if Roberto had stayed

Bullshit

I don't trust Pellegrini and will be delighted to see the back of him, had we stayed with Mancini we would have been talking dynasty instead we are scrambling for top 4. I expect we will get beat tomorrow and miss top 4, he will play YaYa who has been on holiday for months before Iheanacheo who is our future! We haven't beaten a team in top 8 all season so why would I be optimistic?

we haven't, not good enough! Not beaten a team in top 8: Leicester, Spurs, Arsenal?, United, West Ham, Liverpool or Southampton

Amen!

On the plus side a lot of the parasites should not be playing and although I would not expect a performance from the players, for the fans, their own self-interest (playing in the champs lge, possibly bonuses) may even motivate them some what.

I'm guessing they will be seriously out of pocket on the bonus front if they fuck it up but that will no doubt be compensated for by the bonuses they earned for getting to the semi of the CL.

Personal pride should be enough but we will see...

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Yeah we should have stuck by the guy that saw us embarrassed in the CL

Genuinely believe if we'd have kept Mancini we'd have at least another title.

At least in his last season we were comfortably 2nd.

If we'd have got players who would work with Mancini we'd have been laughing.

I'm sure being a blue that you noticed we did get another title .

Swansea have given up...

Yeah, right.

Maybe we shouldn't but neither should we have persevered with this one either.

Hopefully the next one will be better.

If that is the case we are doomed. Personal pride is something which has been missing on to many occasions this year. Hopefully we will not play anyone who is aware they have no future once Pep gets here, which possibly was not the case at Southampton.

Backing the players in 2013 has backfired spectacularly.

The only thing that spectacularly backfired was Bob taking on his bosses and falling out with them all.

We'd have missed out on setting the CL alight and the excitement of struggling/failing to make top 4.
Not one for the comparisons of the two, both had faults, but to spin Pelle as an upgrade is wide of the mark and at best highly debatable.
