Love this. 'Not as good as 7.7 but not as bad as 7.5. Hmm, 7.6 it is!'

Till ignorance, tribalism and stupidity abounds. In other words, never.

Let's wait and see.

On the contrary, the fact that two Champions League dropouts are contesting the Europa final doesn't reflect well on the teams that originally entered the competition. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've really enjoyed this competition, I have to say. Obviously it doesn't have the glamour of the other one but could you honestly see us going anywhere in the Champions League this year had we progressed to the second round? We'd been slaughtered had we come up against most of the sides that made the quarters there. Of course our sights should be higher than Europa but as long as this is a blip, why not enjoy the ride?

Whatever you say about Mourinho (and I'm not one of those on the "OMG Jose come here please OMG" brigade), the guy's a winner and he's hardly likely to let such trivial connections influence him into weakening the squad or its work ethic. Have you considered that maybe he'd look to find the new Drogba/Lampard/Terry among the team members now? Just look to rally the squad around that spine like he did in 05? Yes he may keep one or two of the original old guard around as well, but if their presence and winning mentality rubs off on the virgins (as far as trophies are concerned) in this team, is it really that bad? I think you're confusing trust with sycophancy.

Yes because he is clearly that dumb.

PARTAAAAY!

Relax guys, we still have Yossi

Yes, I think he's the best on form, at least. Who'd you go for? Come to think of it, I'd have all those 3 Brazilians in my top 10.

It will take a big man to not play Dante, who's the best centre half in Europe at the moment (imo).

As much as I like Luiz, has to be Dante - Silva, surely?

Haha, gave me a good laugh. "I was a fan long before you and will be here long after you're gone".

No, can thank the office workload for that.

They're in November. My internship gets over at the end of the month and it's all downhill from there.

Who is this Rupert character I keep reading about?

Does old man Ron (zolayes) not post anymore?

That's the only one. Well that's my theory, I think it's as good as any.

I know mate, wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular. Just fucking tired of this guy and all the baggage around him; hopefully he'll be the first one out the door when Mourinho walks in.

Yes let's analyse, because it's not like we've been over this before

Not lots; just one. Pellegrini rumours were around much before they played, the players are bound to be in the know.

That's horrible but it made me laugh anyway, so all's good.

Counter point : The Pellegrini rumours started on the day before the final, City players knew Mancini was offski and hence didn't bother turning up for the game.

What? Never. I always wish great success to our #FormerBlues, except when they play against us, obviously. So I hope Matic has a stinker in this one.

Ray Wilkins?!

We've found a new entry to the list of excuses for Torres.
