Top Four!

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

Ok, you people have beat some sense to me. I'm depressed again. Not good enough.

Apologies for my moment of delight during these dark dark times.

Anti, it's you we have to turn to now to keep are spirits up and explain how Mancini has it all under control. Explain his tactics/plans to us so we understand. You can't get all negative.

I didn't think our tactics were anywhere near spot on today. If SWP was fit today, then it's ridiculous that he didn't start. And what was that joke striker doing there?

But fact remains we are fourth now, whether it's because or despite Mancini is up for debate. But the actual position isn't. And yes, I'm happy about it. Sorry.

Do you remember you were really really delighted - ecstatic - after we bungled past the rags in the first leg of the semi-final... remember how you "couldn't understand" how people could possibly question it?
This is the same - i dare you to put some serious money on us doing top 4 - fucking dare you.

good lad...don't let the bitters get you down...4th with a game in hand will do me...point away against stoke is not as bad as these lot make out...half would have taken it before kick off

[Nick]

We'd challenge for the league if we were half decent this year.

[s1ty m]

this league, outside of scum and chelski, is very mediocre. evidenced by a pretty poor side being 4th.

i'll take it at the end of the season. and tonight as it happens! thanks mr wiley.

sunday is a monster game, tevez is now critically important to be available.

would they have taken it knowing they would be playing against a ten man stoke for most of the game? NO!

[Bianchi on Ice]

We have broken in!

Like a burglar on his first job

I've seen your message to the board Nick so can't take anything you say seriously and this statement proves it...and they call MH clueless

[King Kev]

Rejoice you miserable cunts

Amen

What bemuses/upsets me - the bit that devalues people's opinions so totally - is how different the reaction to absolutely everything about that game would've been if 'Clueless' was in charge.

[Ted Hughes]

It's not a bad result for a team that's struggling which we certainly are at the moment. If not for the stupid, pathetic, fucking goal it would have been 3 points as well.

If the rags were playing like shite & got a result at Stoke, everyone would have said that's how they win championships. I don't believe we'll be this bad forever so if we get results now, it will set us up.

That's the kind of scrapping, shit kicking performance that could get us a result at Chelsea.

How many times have you seen 10 men dominate after losing a player? I remember a time when we used to go down to ten and our football considerably improved...it happens...a draw to a team like Stoke...away from home...a team that stifles good football...is a result in my eyes

It happened last season to us at Stoke

[Chinners]

'typical City' eh? I remember the days when we played shit for large parts of the season and were in the bootom 4 ... weird this football m'larky

[HeyMark]

For the first 20 minutes of that game they dominated us like it was Chelsea v a non league side. We barely got a look in 1st half, and am I right in thinking our first shot on target was the goal? Thats just not good enough

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

you were saying EXACTLY the same under Sven before christmas. Get real, we are nowhere near that yet. Even Jesus Christ couldn't get us there this season.

I could spend the rest of my life commenting on that so I'm going to try my best not to in the future, it really is verging on the ridiculous.

Then why did I get so slated - fucking slammed - for saying that the rags had better individual players?
