The battle for 4th place

Going in to these last two games I'd feel a hell of a lot more confident if we had James Milner on the pitch. For me we have had not one player who came anywhere close to matching the battle,energy and desire he brought to the team.Instead we have a lazy load of prima donnas who consider getting a sweat on is below them. Forget the arguments about why he left but it was yet another poor call where we failed to replace what he brought to the side. Our hierachy think football is a chess game not a man's game.

I don't agree about Milner. I think his time at City had run its course and the decision to leave was largely his. But I agree with your general point.

After we lost at Barca last season it was reported in the press that we would be looking to replace some of the more flaky players with players with a better attitude. I agreed with that but it didn't really happen. Signing Sterling for an inflated price seemed a step in the opposite direction.

How can anyone be 'gutted'. One of the two games that mattered today went well for City. So it was at worst a half bad day. Not a disaster.

And today's results are really secondary to what WE have to do tomorrow.

Win, lose or draw other teams what matters is down to us and us alone.

And we have not even played yet.

The time for anyone to feel gutted is if we do not win tomorrow. If we do then the pressure will all be on United. And it will still be in our hands even if they then respond - by just winning one last match next Sunday we will be home in 3rd.

We are lucky to have about the 99th chance this season to get things done. It is up to us to not toss it away.

nail on head. Nothing has changed from yesterday in that it is still in our hands and because the rags (how the fuck I don't know), squeeze out another three points, some fans just cannot cope with that
