Who is going to win the premiership title.

[guest100718]

Now, now Patrick, don't let the bitterness levels rise again. Have you planned any trips in the Europa league for next season - White hart lane would be a start, they've built 3 new stands since you last went. Just so it doesn't catch you out - You can't pass back to keepers anymore - probably why we haven't won it for so long.

Bitter? You're getting me confused with you BF, LFCPhil.

Did you call me your boyfriend then, aw shucks.

Went to the game yesterday and didn't get emotional like two years earlier. That was until I watched telly this morning.

anyway, what got us through this year, a very strong squad, it was never going to be an excuse but the injuries we have had this year have been horrendous, fortunately we have got through it, double winners at that.

yeah we are winners but the clubs this year that have surpassed expectations, City, Liverpool, crystal palace, Sunderland, saints, Everton all there fans could and should have high expectations of next year.

clubs that have not performed, bottom 3, man utd, spurs, Newcastle, villa, and probably a few more, well they have got it to do for next year.

re pelligrini, he has been a massive breath of fresh air, whilst mouriniho was playing his mind games saying we will not win the league this year because this is not my team, pelligerni whilst in the same position has just got on with it and won it with style. Mouriniho whilst taking the plaudits that he beat both us and Liverpool home and away needs to look at games v Sunderland and others to what cost them the title. His master class in setting up against the big teams was undermined by his Sunday league football management against the lower teams.

to those that said we we should of won it because of the money spent, well my simple answer to that is Spurs. They have spent the money gained for Gareth Bale and sent it poorly. money does not guarantee success and the burden of the money spent can be massive.

captain vinny is colossal for us and is a leader in every sense, if I had a kid who played football he would be the player I would use as a role model. In fact I would struggle to pick a player in city's squad who has attitude ala Tevez, Ballotelli of days gone past.

i could go on on but am off to royal norwood for me only nine holes in four weeks due to work and hols.

thanks for a gud season city. The best team in the land and all the world.

A tame draw against a decent Palace side that really had nowt to play for. Good to see some youngsters getting a chance but we were crap all season. Magath isn't filling me with confidence and I can see us consigned to the Championship (or lower) for seasons to come as we rebuild. Switched between the City and Liverpool games but neither held my interest with the way the City game played out. Some good performances and I wa spleased to see Liverpool's resurgence and liked the look of Everton and the way they played.

Paddy - why would anyone be bitter about Spurs ? They have done next to nothing for decades

Good post - enjoy the celebrations - they are deserved

Agree about Pellegrini as well

Looking forward to next season already and to give you another challenge

Congratulations to City, the best team over 38 games.

I wouldn't say it was thoroughly deserved though it shows how important it is to have a top quality squad to win the league.

Roll onto next season.

 

[Dodger]

Saw a stat today that only one of City's goals was scored by an Englishman.

Shows you how little they have of UK talent in their team.Money isn't exactly a hurdle.

 

[Adi2Dassler]

Yaya Toure, now there's a player.Outstanding.

Hart doesn't do too bad and Milner looked good when we played them a week or so back!

Lescott is hanging around also

They are looking towards the future with spending hundreds of millions on their new academy and youth structure

They need to, we beat them in the under 21's cup final.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

They need to, we beat them in the under 21's cup final.

And we beat you in the U18's semi's

 

[richart]

And we beat you in the U18's semi's

You did, but you must admit you were lucky. Two cracking games though.

Both teams have some top youngsters. Watch out for Aaron Kuhl. He played for the under 18's and also Captained the under 21's.

 

[Tashyboy]

Watching noël Gallacher on the box yesterday and for someone who has spent half his life getting wasted on old holburn and clan dew whiskey he speaks football supporters language.

his answer to do you expect this every year " no not when you have had 40 odd years of nowt, but the younger supporters do"was spot on.

Rodgers named LMA Manager of the Year and Pulis named Prem Manager of the Year - both fully deserved accolades :thup:

i find that strange. Think both were worthy winners. Just don't get how ones the best in the prem. But not best of year?

One is votes by all the managers and one is from Barclays Prem - Suarez was also named Barclays Prem Player of the Year

I know how it works, just strange that it was split. Suarez was a gimme. Fingers crossed he'll be around next season. Been a few press snippets from Uruguay with him saying he's happy. Which is good, as generally with foreign papers they get the stories first.

Has told the Mersey press he is happy also - in fact more than happy.

Would take a special bid for him to leave
