i just thought that was a useless line up to start with - suarez cant play up front as the lone striker. cup football - play to win - not to crowd the middle of the park - shit 4 4 3 carrol, kuyt n suarez in behind

4 3 3 - stoopid

[Brown Paper Bag]

City hopefully got it in the bag, Newcastle looked good but you could tell city wanted it.. on the flip the scum battered the shit out of the Swansea goals but came up with only 2

[Vito Corleone]

Foxes

Will have to have a couple of 6-pack bets on the Blackburn/Leicester games next season. We need 6pts to stay up and tbh I can't see it happening especially with Chelsea away as our last fixture.

Are you a pom or just a try hard?

[d-vo]

I really can't stand watching top flight football any more. I ended up turning fa cup final off cos I just can't stand the constant theatrics to milk penalties and Chelseas time wasting at the end shat me. Yes I know this happens, yes I know they are playing for massive $$ - but tbh id rather watch championship matches or even the glory cos at least its a bit more honest.

One cannot analyse the weekends games without being a pom?

[Kevin]

City deserve to win the league. They have the best squad and beat Utd home and away (shudder). The fact that Utd ran them that close despite not spending significant amounts, losing Vidic for the season along with half their midfield (Cleverly, Anderson, Fletcher) and having to call Scholes out of retirement says a lot about the team spirit and the managerial credentials of Ferguson. The only genuine sour note (6-1 aside) was the European capitulation.

On the plus side Liverpool had a shite season.

[Untitled]

If Ferguson had the City squad he'd win the league by 20 points. Its scary his ability to get the output he has done from a mediocre (in relative terms) squad. No longer the 'noisy neighbors' anymore i 'spose.

Nah that's fine but you constantly refer to man u as "scum" so as a Salford boy I take offence and would happily nut you if you said it in front of me innit.

[Vito Corleone]

If Venky's have ANY desire to be respected and successful they will get somebody in who knows how to run a football club on a day-to-day basis and give them full control over footballing decisions. Hopefully the first decision they make is to get rid of that idiotic egg-head who has overseen our demise.

The way we're playing at the mo we have no chance of being promoted . So will see you next year. And no probs in the 6pk - easy money

6 months ago this letter was sent, prior to the January transfer window where we didn't make a signing that would impact our battle at all.

Other fans have been quick to slate the behaviour of Rovers fans across social media and other such things, but tell me, how would you feel?

[HunterM]

what happened last night????

last i saw liverpool were up 3-0 :/

[Vito Corleone]

Liverpool played the entire game like they played the second half of the F.A Cup I assume!

[Brown Paper Bag]

Chelsea fielded a relatively B side squad (in fairness we didn't play Gerrard or Bellamy) and got dominated the shit out of. If downing didn't hit the post (poor downing) just before half time from the penalty spot we'd have been up 4-0 by half time.

Once again Andy Carroll had a great game (MOTM) he earn't so many free kicks from Terry/Ivanovich purely for his presence just came shy of slotting one through himself, Henderson had a really good performance and showed what he was capable of.

The team we fielded last night should've been the team to start in the FA cup (with a few inclusions). Good way to give the fans something after a shithouse season, Sterling is a jet and i'm, glad he got a bit of a run towards the end, next year he should see some regular game time..

Glad i got up out of bed for that one

With regards to Umbro, was he basically saying you guys were breaching your contract with them by producing your own gear for cheaper in India (as a result of the owners being indian i assume?) ?

[Vito Corleone]

It appears that way to me, yeah. Umbro could basically walk away from us, as the players if they weren't paid.

Infuriating to know that these concerns were raised and ignored.

[Untitled]

So West Ham vs. Blackpool for the final PL spot, should be an entertaining game.

[dnbfan]

lol just saw the QPR captain get sent off

[dnbfan]

what a classic troll conclusion to the EPL

[dnbfan]

amazing

[Kevin]

I feel sick

[Vito Corleone]

Gutted for you..no neutrals I know wanted a city win. Joey barton is a badman

[irvan]

Pretty sure I just watched history in the making.. That was incredible

[Kevin]

Shudder. Did my knee today playing football too. Think it's bad so all round shit day

[Hoser]

That was incredible! As much as I wanted to see the shitty supporters tear each others heads off, deep down I think they deserved it. But Mancini is an annoying twat.

[Kevin]

City deserved to win. They'd been the best team all year. Just glad that Utd ran them so close. Hopefully it's given Ferguson a reason to hang around for a few more years and knock them off their perch. He's seen off Leeds, Liverpool, Blackburn, Newcastle, Arsenal and Chelsea in his time. Now it's time to see off City.

Credit must go to Wenger too after their start to the season.

[Brown Paper Bag]

Wow! The one sideness of the city game was ridiculous, the possession, shots etc. forget who the two teams were that were competing, stuff like that is great for the sport/epl.

Nice to see Cisse looking as happy as Nasri.

[Brown Paper Bag]

kenny gone

[David]

kenny gone

It was inevitable and I am very happy to see it finally happen. With their performance last season how can you be upset?

Well realistically we probably should've won league cup and the FA cup and finished about 6th. The EPL was pretty competitive this year, not to forget suarez was out for a shitload of games. If you look at what Dalglish did in the rest of the season after Roy was sacked you'd see he had the potential, this season just didn't work out and IMO the general consensus was to give him another year, I was worried once all the hype started earlier in the week but i didn't see this coming.

We're going to end up like Chelsea this rate

What winning FA cups, making it to the CL final, and finishing above 8th?

[Birt]

Who is doing the Fantasy Football this season? Is Donny still around, I don't think he is, can someone give him a kick to set the league up.

[d-vo]

Foxes v Peterborough to kick off the season tonight! Yeww!

[Vito Corleone]

My club is the laughing stock of the entire football league. Can't wait for the season to kick off

[JolyV]

City deserved to win. .

Now it´s time for Chelsea

[Infinitude]

Solid showing from Saints against City. We even took the lead at one point! We may very well ruffle a few feathers this campaign if we consistently perform at that level. More importantly we might just avoid the drop.

Felliani was immense last night, completely dominated that game.

Moyes is a genius

[Vito Corleone]

Would like to see him in charge at United when Fergie gives it away.

[d-vo]

2 zip against Peterborough! Top start to the season

[Untitled]

Moyes is a genius

He is incredibly good at rejuvenating squads with very little finances at his disposal. I also think he has to be up there for the United job when Fergie calls time on his career.

I hope that never happens (at least not until they win some silverware)

Will be interesting to see their form this season with Cahill gone.

[Vito Corleone]

Cahill wasn't much chop last season; they've got his departure covered imo

[Untitled]

As much as Cahill was an idol he hadn't contributed since the first half of 2010/11 season, in reality it will free up much needed wages to bring in players. If Everton can get a decent start to the season (have been extremely poor for the most part of Moye's tenure) then I can see them challenging for top six.

[JolyV]

United have announced that Angelo Henriquez has been granted a governing body endorsement which will allow the striker to register and play for the club.

Does any one else feel Liverpool could beat City?

[Brown Paper Bag]

Despite the poor form against wba, we always play well in big games
