Sheikh Mansour won us the league, end of.

That statement is majestically glorious in that it's the quintessence of irrefutability.

Well said Goaters.

[PALUS]

To be fair to Balo, he made some mistakes this season but his contribution when Tevez was out of the squad and Dzeko was having his prolonged bad patch was quite good. How many goals has Balo scored in the league this season and how many assists does he have? I think we have definitely seen a big improvement from him this season; he needs to control himself more, true, and maybe stop putting himself in the spotlight out of the pitch, but overall I'm pleased of his improvement in behaviour and effectiveness on the pitch.

I JUST CAN BELIVE , CRAZY STUF :)

Balo won us the league by being banned for 3 matches which brought on the partnership of Aguero/Tevez which was so crucial in the 2 matches after Arsenal which put us back on track!

[DoomMerchant]

No it was Hart throwing it in from the stand oh and Clichy.

FFS Beeks bit OTT saying Balo won us the league it was the TEAM.

Fat Jesus strikes again.

i personally thought it was Kompany being so far forward that he drew the defenders away from the space Aguero had which allowed him to score.

Also, Chappy....he gets some credit for sorting out Kun's boots, finally.

I won us the league

a) removing myself from the country and regular match attendance and helping to break the jinx on City when i am there
b) returning to attend the West Brom game and turning our form around with my presence

I thought it was down to the fact I didnt wash my shirt for the last three games...

Did his best to lose us it, more like. His efforts/conduct over the course of the season have been shocking. He could have given us so much more, especially With Tevez playing up. The stage really was set for him, but he was too much of a nutter/tit to grasp the chance.

He was great when he came on last sunday. He gave us a bit of verve and looked a threat.

However, the sad fact is that had it not been the last minute of the last game, with so much at stake, he wouldn't have bothered slipping Aguero in. He'd made his fall more theatrical, turned to the ref, then beat the turf with his fist in frustration at not getting a pen. He'd then have spent the next thirty seconds sitting with his head in hands until he could be arsed getting to his feet.

Couldnt agree more.

His agent has said a few times that next season will be his last in England so only one more year of underachievement mixed in with the odd flash of brilliance and bizarre off the field behaviour to go.

Tbf Mario wasn't talking like that on Sunday. I got the impression he wants to stay here.

Well if hes going to stay for longer than one more year then i hope he can reach his potential and stop acting like a spoilt little dweeb

[sandman]

some may say that Anna Connell played the biggest part?

[OliverHardy]

No need Ms Hardy....just change to Barwoooaaaaah Balotelli, he's a striker....etc etc

[littlebig]

I'm really rooting for Mario to do well for us next season, to fulfil at least some of his potential.

I don't think we'll see a mature Mario ever though, it's part of his make up to be crazy and unpredictable. That's what makes him what he is.

No way!!

It was me and 9secondlegend. We sang in a shite atmosphere wearing our new puma kits with "LAHM" on the back.

balo (or any player) will be carded if they walk off the field due to racism at the euro's says platini. The refs have the power to stop the game if that is happening ... but would it just be easier to book balotelli? That's what they'll probably do.

I just read Platini article on this - unbelievable if verbatim. I can't see a ref cancelling a game? He is deluded if he thinks that this action will sort out racism. He never will, but he should take a leaf out of what has been done in uk when it. O ex to dealing with racist behaviour in stadia.

I wonder what the sanctions are regarding awarding points? Its a minefield.
No time for a replay in a knockout comp like this.
What if the team winning is the one with the offending fans that cause the abandonement?
What happens if a game is abandoned on 45, 60, 75, 85 mins? Is there a sliding scale of punishment dependant in the time the ref halts the game?
