Feel sorry for West Ham , terrible decision.

We have been on the receiving end of most of the shockers this year.

Really hope Leicester win it now.

It's an approach barca also use, bedding youngsters in. City don't seem to have that confidence in youngsters. Maybe they're not good enough but if we don't slot them in from time to time we will never know.

We are desperate for that young enthusiasm.


Good old Wenger, he knows how to win the league eh?

So bearing in mind Neymar and Suarez cost about £160M, just how many youngsters have become Barcelona regulars since Busquets? Even worse when you consider most of the opposition is dogshite.

Bit like class of 92 isn't it? One decent crop creates the myth forever.

In the last two Barca games, one of which was a knockout champs league game, Sergi Roberto has replaced Rakitic and Iniesta. Pretty big names to replace and shows a faith that our bosses simply don't have.

Proper unnecessary smarmy response mate, Wenger has brought through some cracking younger players. Wish we could do the same.

Sometimes there is those 'Honest mistakes'.

Or is it that the PL are getting worried with the thought of Leicester, Spurs and The Hammers representing them in the CL?

West Ham came to us and got two goals on the break and then sat back whilst their keeper made about 500 outstanding saves and managed a 1-2 win. I don't feel sorry for them one bit.

i think its hugely impressive how they've turned their defense around. they were leaking goals left and right early on and now they've barely conceded since Boxing Day.

in the beginning of the season didn't they have a ridiculous run of matches where they'd fall behind and then come back to win? now it seems like they're getting ahead first and then sitting back and trying to counter.

Ranieri deserves a lot of praise. very different side to what was going on early in the season.

The ultimate goal is to win pots. How that is achieved is open to debate about worthiness etc. I'd sooner win things win a few Academy lads in the side, but if we win things with a team of old bastards, then that is fine as well.

Starting to sound like a bunch of dippers or rags. Trophy counting is sad. Great to win competitions as that's what we are in it for but to suggest that's it is bollocks. Kinda wipes the 30 odd years off the record if that's how you feel.

Watching Jose win pots makes me sure that id rather support a team with some class.

Maybe I'm in the minority. A lot of my greatest city memories didn't actually result in us winning a cup.

I have fond memories of the old days. However, I love us winning trophies and have some amazing memories with my lad watching us celebrate a trophy. The other memories are great times with fellow blues. In fact my own fondest memories are from pre season games. So I suppose its just down to the individual

I understand what you're getting at, but you're creeping mightly close to sounding like a gooner. Next thing you know you'll start blabbing on about net spend, number of youngsters, and who's the classiest.

Just because you're aiming for the top prize doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride.

So basically there's a fine line between being raggy or dipperish and being a gooner - I guess being a City fan is that line ;)

Stay classy blues.

Spot on J@S.

Who will remember in 20 years time that Arse gave the chance to player xxx who then became nothing?
And who will remember City won the League Cup in 2016?

I know, a shit example but I'm on the booze and if you think about it you'll know I'm right antway. Good nihjt.
More pots please City!

Had a feeling for a while they will be manoeuvred into 4th. The peno at Palace last week was very helpful.
