Pellegrini Chalks Up 100th Victory As Manager

I think as a fan we are entitled to slag, abuse, or dish out acolades whenever we see fit - from the first match of the season to the last match ,thats our right as a fan.

This season has been weird and underwhelming - it could still turn out to end a cracker.


4th and we go out of the CL SF or Final, will be classed as an ok season.

5th and we go out of the CL SF or Final , will be classed as a fuckign disaster of a season.

Win the CL - regardless where we end up in the League, and Pellegrini will rightly be a hero.

Fine margins, but as far as Im concerned, we shouldnt have been battling for fuckign 3rd or 4th for the past 3 months ffs.

Right now we are in line to be 3rd if we continue our winning ways. We could even draw now and if we beat Arsenal still wind up 3rd due to goal difference.

If Spurs falter we could even get 2nd again, and it's still even possible to win the league with Leicester having some tough matches ahead.

3rd place and losing in the CL semis or Final is a pretty good season, and seems most likely, yet hard to wonder how we lost the league with the way our rivals have performed.

Mathematically we're still in with a chance of the title - it's just a very small (extremely implausible) chance.

Why are you dismissing the possibility of finishing second or third?

Im not dismissing it..Ive already said the season could end on a high....second or third will be a great finish.....4th we have to qualify pre season which is no given.

Well I can only agree for the most part. It is absolutely unforgivable that we get a useless player like Pony in, and ship one of our finest strikers out on the cheap - yes I mean Edin. The guy had no choice but to play second fiddle to Kun and every time Kun gets injured we are stuffed. Let's hope the nacho man really is the real deal, as he seems to be at the moment.

I also think that Mangala, was upset early season with the rumours about shipping him out.
I am still not overly convinced about Mangala, but Otamendi can go in the summer if he wants to.

[sheblue]

There's no denying his many positives, however equally there's no denying the fact that he has made a lot of errors. The records won't change that.

I like how an achievement by our Manager is turned into an accusation against fellow city fans about being bad fans. If one can't see the irony in that, it's probably to late.

Who's accusing anyone of being a bad fan? There's just a desire to see the man being shown a bit more respect.

[Cocacolajojo]

I would think most people respect him and what he's done here during his tenure, in fact who doesn't?

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Some of the things I've read on here, slagging him off, would suggest otherwise.

Win percentage aside, you know what's been absolutely great about Pellegrini? There's been very few ruptures amongst the fans. Sven's sacking was controversial, Hughes tenure almost killed this site, and Mancini sought conflicts. It's his modus operandi. But under Pellegrini we've mostly been able to come together. Bar a few vocal opponents of Pellegrini, there seems to be a general sense of tolerance for Pellegrini even when the team's playing bad or under performing. Who knows, had he not been undermined by the obvious coming of Pep we might have had a different attitude from certain players last and this season as well. Regardless, he's unified the supporters again. I like that. A lot.

To be honest, I loved the Hughes days on this site.

Zuricity what are Dzeko's stats like since he left?

You keep saying we let this fantastic player go, but I don't think he's been close to fantastic for a long time now.

I could be wrong, let me know

[Nigels Tackle]

a nice guy - yes
won trophies - yes
got the best out of the squad - no
taken us forward - only because others have gone backwards

Is Edin's form or play at Roma relevant ? , i mean Silva has been very poor this year, do i have to go and find some stat somewhere to prove my point
about my opinion on Silva, i can see how lacklustre he is in games?

I said he was one of our finest strikers at the time he was sold ( i don't think he wanted to go), he was one of the top strikers in the PL. He knew exactly how we played.

Yes, we needlessly let a fantastic player go and that's my opinion and I am sticking with it. Edin, even now could still do a better job for us
than Bony and i believe that too.

I am still not overly convinced about Mangala, but Otamendi can go in the summer if he wants to.

If that was true then why did he perform so well, keeping 5 clean sheets on the bounce to start the season? Once Vinnie was injured he lost his emotional support vehicle and became distraught again?

Hard to see us selling Otamendi after one season, who has also been quite good of late. He lunges forward quite often, but it was working better partnered along side Vinnie and his better decision making. The going to ground issue I also know is a bother, but I don't think he's been that bad at all.

Mangala can be good, but it seems to occur more against big centre forwards. If we sign one central defender he is likely off.

[Original Dub]

No, you don't have to show david silva's stats to tell me how good or bad he is.
He is still one of the best players in the league and has been since he got here.

Anyway, back on topic... Dzeko turned to shite, so we got rid. He has continued to be shite.

Moaning that we took on a shite player is one thing, but wanting the other shite one instead is a bit fucktarded tbh.

It does, that said for me his most flawless performance this season came at Leicester's place.

Moron of a manager ....put out the wrong team as usual and the good work against Chelsea has just been undone - well done you Chilean TIT.

This is one of the many reasons why hes being booted out at the end of the season for a far far superior manager.
