So that means no europa league for Everton next year? Ok so Fellaini and Baines will both leave

Top 4 C1, Arsenal or spurs in europa league + 2 cup winners, Swansea + Wigan (may be in championship lol)

LOL. On a day Lamps gets his record, Wigan beat massive favourites Lancaster City to the FA Cup. Really happy for them, they might be relegated but they will play international football next season. This way city can not even come close to emulate our success history in the FA cup in recent years.

Wigan, Swansea and Birmingham have now won more trophies than Arsenal in the last 8 years

So happy Wigan won it. Well deserved, played City off the park at times.

Hope Wigan now give Arsenal the D in a few days. How lovely it would be to see them out of the CL.

Immense....I laughed my fooking head off.

So happy for Wigan, it's always nice to see an underdog achieving something. Their celebrations are genuine, they don't think along the lines "oh well, it's a cute consolation to not winning the league". So yeah, suck it you City failures :lol2:

Btw, where does the word 'underdog' come from? A dog under something?

Btw, where does the word 'underdog' come from? A dog under something?

Googled it:

"The word 'underdog' comes from the language of dogfights in the late 19th century. In those fights, two dogs attacked each other and the loser was termed the 'underdog'. The winner was termed as 'top dog'. However, though the expression is originally American, the first recorded use of underdog was seen in descriptions of people by British newspapers."

@piersmorgan: Please tell me we don't have to give Wigan a guard of honour too? Our players may as well sign up for the Marines.

:lol:

Joleon Lescott costs more than the Wigan team today...

Wigan well deserved, they where better from start to finish, City didn't even deserve to get to the final.

[Pizy 17,860]

I know it's hilarious at the moment to see City like this, but it may be bad in the long run if they do indeed bring in Pellegrini.

All the more reason to iron out a deal with Jose ASAP because you know City are gonna splunk out another £100m this summer.
