This quote could be from:
A Utd Fan re the title
Arsenal Fan re the title
Chelsea Fan re the title
Spurs Fan re the 4th spot
There are in reality no 'shoulds' in football...only actual facts.
Fact: No one has won the tilte yet.
No one has claimed 3rd spot yet never mind 4th.
Everything is still to play for.

'Rome' has gone the same way as 'Agenda' - seen as too 2010. 2011 is the year of the point scorer.

Well the recieved wisdom is that it out-grew itself. The moment it became two Empires, this opened the door for doubt and dissent. Every region and legion developed it's own preference for Emporer. Civil wars were common place, and the failure of the state to protect it's citizens against the barbarians, goths, mongols and vandals further eroded the faith and trust it was once held in. Rome as an idea was built around Rome as capital, but for administrative reasons, Constantine decided to make Istanbul-now-it's-Constantinople capital.
By the end, no-one cared, the gates where unmanned when the invaders came.

Usual hysterical bleating that ignores logic and cold-hard facts.Kazzydeyna said:So this crap manager that has no clue,and will never be good enough for City because he "hasn't won us the league" (in his first full season!!) and has ONLY turned a mid table side into a top four unit,and has ONLY taken this side to it's first major cup final for 30 years was appointed by our owners.
No one (and I mean no one, including the owners) expected him to win the league this season. So that doesn't class as a failure in my eyes. But most expect him to mount a serious crack at it next season and I don't see much sign that we could do that as yet.
And has he turned a mid-table team into a top four one by his genius, some judicious cheap buys and the sweat of his brow? I'd say spending over £400m on players in 2 seasons had just a little bit to do with it. Plus we're not actually top four yet but assuming that's where we're going to finish, we've had a large slice of luck that two of the teams that could have challenged us had really bad spells. Plus we're a point worse off than we were at this stage last season.
Certainly we're in a cup final at last but we needed home games in every round to do it and I'd have expected us to win all those ties anyway, whoever was manager. Villa weren't interested and we huffed and puffed against Reading. The semi-final was certainly a great game but would we have prevailed if they'd scored in that early peiod of dominance. But it did show, as did the first half at Everton, what a Mancini team CAN do at its best. But then the second half (and the whole game at Anfield) showed a Mancini team at its clueless worst.
At the end of the day, the owners have presumably set a target and we don't know what that is. My guess is that it wouldn't be less than the 70 points set for Mark Hughes but that's just a guess. It might just be top 4 however we achieve it but relying on others to slip up isn't a strategy that's going to win us the league.
