Re: Finishing Second
Not that bad and better than it looked after the dismal derby defeat. However we should always be looking at a top two finish IMO, that's the level the club is now at. What was disappointing about the season is that we didn't mount a serious challenge for any of the 3 domestic trophies or the CL. That much has to improve next season.

Re: Finishing Second
It's the gap between second and first that is the concern, absolutely no way should we have got ourselves more than ten points behind Chelsea with our squad.

Very good. The fact they went off on their hols 2 weeks ago has no relevance here at all. ;-)cleavers said:Its 8 ;o)sam-caddick said:It's the gap between second and first that is the concern, absolutely no way should we have got ourselves more than ten points behind Chelsea with our squad.
Re: Finishing Second
For any of these 4 : Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City the only position worth celebration is the top spot.
Finishing 2nd just means doing better than the other 2 losers of the year.
I'd rather finish 3d and win the CO Cup.

Re: Finishing Second
I'd rather be 3rd where Arsenal are and going to Wembley
Overall disappointing season. Could have been worse, but should have been so much better. What's annoying is that this team was at its peak, and should have achieved so much more.
An awful lot comes down to Toure as many feared in the Summer.

Re: Finishing Second
The only FACT is its 8 at the moment, of course it could be 5, 6, 8, 10, or 11 after the final game, and that'll be a FACT as well.BlueAnorak said:Very good.

Agree City standards are different now unlike the scum who celebrate 4th and beating us, yep 3rd and a cup I'd rather have than second
