As well as can be expected after yesterday. At least the Williams won.

Congrats BTW you are probably the only real City fan I know. The rest will be refugees from Chelsea, Liverpool etc

I'm only 'real' if longevity counts for anything. I think I only made it to about 5 games this season!

by taipan Mon 14 May 2012, 12:50

So how are you? And the lad?

by Jontyh Mon 14 May 2012, 12:52

In good form, ta! My son has just left school and is doing his first exam today.
That's made me feel old.
Your lot ok?

by taipan Mon 14 May 2012, 13:02

Thought he was about to finish. Uni?

Mine are both well. Actually one wrote an exam today as well.

I was working out how I would cope with throwing it away to a side with the worst away record in the division down to 10 men, and to the doubtless gloating reds to boot, JK.
I can safely say that Aguero's goal has now replaced Harmison's wicket of Kasprowicz in 2005 as the greatest sporting experience of my life.

Funnily enough, Aguero's goal has bumped Harmy's wicket down a peg in my list of favourite sporting moments too

Very discerning, Woody.

Great last day of the season.

The Sky commentator trying to out orgasm Gary Neville's Champions League effort. Quite amusing.

Man City will have a terrifying squad next season.

Also, nice work Swansea. Kenny Out.

Dalglish gone. Megson to be hired definitely.

by taipan Wed 16 May 2012, 20:34

King Kenny.

I am still laughing.

by JKLever Wed 16 May 2012, 21:16

Mourinho?

by Basil Wed 16 May 2012, 23:58

Depends on how much cash the owners are prepared to splash. It might make all the difference between Didier Deschamps and Brendan Rogers.

by G.Wood Thu 17 May 2012, 00:28

van Gaal seems a good fit.

by tricycle Thu 17 May 2012, 03:52

He cocked up terribly in Bayern though, sat some players out for no reason and was happily booted out. He had issues with Ribery, Gomez and Tymoschuk in his stay there. Bit of a miserable qunt.

He'd fit right in with scousers than

True

Didn't help Dalglish.

Yeah, he'll walk away from the Spanish champions to join the 8th best team in England who haven't won the championship in 20 years but still demand to be thought a "massive club".

Reckon it'll be a young manager - probably Martinez, Rogers, Lambert or Terry Connor.

by JKLever Thu 17 May 2012, 20:26

Looks like Martinez. A bit meh for the scousers...

by Basil Thu 17 May 2012, 20:32

The Liverpool job is the hospital pass to end all hospital passes - all the potential candidates will have one thing in common with Liverpool supporters - they're not Kenny.

by Brass Monkey Thu 17 May 2012, 20:33

Fork orf... we all know it'll be AVB.

Nor was Kenny.

by tricycle Thu 17 May 2012, 20:43

Oh my god, they killed Kenny.

Wouldn't mind AVB, even if Liverpool are reasonably successful.

by LeFromage Thu 17 May 2012, 20:46

Think AVB is "tainted" by the way the players forced him out at Chelski.

He'll probably have to go away and build up his reputation again on the continent before an English club touches him with their shitty stick.
