Final Weekend Fixtures - What Will Be, Will Be - Sunday 13th May 2012 3pm

[Niall_Quinn]

Kean has hit on the idea of assembling a strong squad.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh dear.

*turns it off*

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why is Kompany's head on Jeff Goldblum's body?

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh dear.

*turns it off*

I'll keep you updated.

You're playing a bit shit at the moment, a bit like a pub team.

[Rors]

Why is Kompany's head on Jeff Goldblum's body?

:lol:

So it's up to us to close the season on MOTD then? An honour indeed.....

[Niall_Quinn]

Carroll fights like a girl.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carroll and Williams! :haha:

Fight fight fight!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tekkers from Carroll.

:blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Graham. :bow:

[Gubby Allen]

Was the Sky Sports interview, where Kean said "there's exciting times ahead for the club" :faint:

[Niall_Quinn]

Lots f chances for Carroll, but he has a woman's hands. Swansea 1-0.

[Gubby Allen]

Villa take up their usual slot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich vs Villa.

:rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Holt vs Villa next up.

[Gubby Allen]

Holt :bow::bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Lol holt booked for aving the ball kicked at him, then he scores.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Given let that in?

[Gubby Allen]

McLeish "I've not become a bad manager overnight"

Nope, took about 10 years to get there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good run and effort from Lichaj.

Heskey had a shot!

[Niall_Quinn]

Heskey for England

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Heskey. :haha:

[Rors]

There goes our un-season. What a washout

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big 'Eck has no reason to think he wouldn't be the manager.

:unsure:

[Cripps_orig]

Missed the Liverpool game ffs

[Niall_Quinn]

Goal of the season up next.

[Cripps_orig]

GOTS on now

Has to be Ben Arfa

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bryan Ruiz gets a GotS contender.

Me. :bow:

[Rors]

Alan Shearer's Eyes ‏ @HowAlanSeesIt
STOP ASKING ME UNPLANNED QUESTIONS... PLEASE. I'VE GOT NOTHING MORE TO GIVE! #motd

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dream goal!

[Niall_Quinn]

Started well but now a load of shit like crouch

[Niall_Quinn]

Last 3 were shit.

Sessegnon and RvP, excellent, Dzeko good too. Cisse wins it but was a pure fluke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cisse wins GotS.

[Cripps_orig]

Cisse wins it

Decent goal tbh

Id put that 3rd though, Crouch 2nd and Ben Arfa as winner

[Niall_Quinn]

Cisse wins it

Decent goal tbh

Id put that 3rd though, Crouch 2nd and Ben Arfa as winner

WUM.

[Cripps_orig]

Not really

Best 3 goals by a mile

[Niall_Quinn]

That's it, season over. As Gary says, it was never in doubt.

City buy it. We blow 4th place.

[-Xs-]

City buy it. We blow 4th place.

The board are furious - we miss the money from the qualifying fixtures...

Barton laying into Sheerah and Lineker on Twitter. :haha:

:popcorn:

What's lineker's deal? I always thought he was clean, and most recently a spineless 'yes man'.

[Letters]

I noticed that when they were fawning over City's 'achievement' no-one mentioned the money.
Lineker even asked how they'd done it.
$1bn. That's how.
Wasn't even mentioned.

One of Charlie's finest creations.

Or 'Dune Coons' as they like to be called.

This is getting way out of hand now, it's disgraceful. You sound like some public school boy corporate business tycoon who drives a rolls royce and works for a living - you fuck! Bet you can read and write too you utter slime.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Segrio Opposite is actually Messi's imminent child.

No, it read that was what he'd be naming him (Segrio Opposite) based on it being Aguero's name.

[Cripps_orig]

Clearly see Aguero hitting Barton with his left arm there hence Bartons retaliation

[Marc Overmars]

If he wanted to get one of their players sent off, he shouldn't have bothered with Opposite because all he was going to do is cry like a bitch on the floor.

Should have taken out Nasri because he probably would've retaliated. Shame Balotelli wasn't on the pitch at the same time really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looking like a 12 game ban probably, at the very least. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Balotelli did attempt to join in when Barton was going off.

Balotelli :bow:.

What a WUM.

[Niall_Quinn]

What exactly has he done wrong there?

[Cripps_orig]

What exactly has he done wrong there?I said it as soon as i saw it on MOTD last night.

Hes a legend

Man City players arent innocent in this

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What exactly has he done wrong there?

Didn't finish Aguero off? It's violent conduct, there's no point even disputing it, just like Big Man did it.

And anyway how many chances is Barton going to get? He is a sack of shit and football would be a lot better off without him.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The guy is a thug.

I remember he took out Alonso in the season they went down, which I think is what Linekar was going on about.

Shouldn't be anywhere near a football pitch.

However, the added time he made happen did mean Citeh took the league off United, and for that he should be knighted.

Pretty low key start to their celebrations as well. Only about 100k out on the streets... pretty poor tbh :ninja:

Didn't touch him. Sorry but I'm applying the Barton vs Arsenal standard here. And as such it should have been Aguero that went.

Did he actually get two red cards in the one match?

So you think they deserve zero credit for this title victory? That spending money automatically guarantees success?

Even Man Utd fans were willing to credit City for being the best team in the league this season. I can't see why some Arsenal fans are unable to and seem so bitter and chippy, when we don't even have a rivalry with them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Some Man Utd fans give them credit, others don't. There is a thread on Glory-Glory talking about the day football died. It's not just Arsenal supporters that say it.

Cos of the money

Why do they have players with great mentality, team spirit etc etc?

Cos they had the money to go and spend it on players who have all those things

Its not bitter to speak the truth.

Simple question here

Would City have won the title this season had they not spent £400m+ on their squad?

[Letters]

So you think they deserve zero credit for this title victory?
Yes. Zero. If that.

Chelsea proved that it can be done. City have just shown that you can do it with any club if you pump enough money in for long enough.

[Master Splinter]

I am quite surprised that Ach is not pretending to be pro-Citeh tbh.

Poor WUMming tbf.

Would have been a perfect time for you to step it up and back Joker's cause.

[Marc Overmars]

Fair play to the manner in which they did it, it was spectacular and one of those rare neutral moments in football I won't forget. However it is quite clearly all down to the money, every last bit of it. No one can afford to do what they've done, if they flop next season I'm pretty sure they will just go and buy whoever they want for another 30m and 150k a week and start again. Whilst money is no guarantee of instant success, it is a guarantee that everything possible will be done to ensure it happens eventually. There is no sense of achievement in my books and if that makes me bitter then so be it.

[GP]

I almost feel sorry for City fans. They wait decades for the slightest glimpse, then when something finally arrives, it's nothing more than chocolate wrapped in tinfoil.

Honestly, their promotion back to the premier league carried more respect that this title 'win'

i dont buy the stat going round that in the last game united cost more then city did. people ignore the fact taht ferdinand and rooney were bought years ago and one big signing a year is hardly splashing out. city have been around for three years and spent half a billion.

Bollox its not an achievement to spend a billion pounds then win the league, maybe success but no way is it an achievement when city do in three years in a row then it might be something to splaff about tbh.

Adrian Durham said what City did was better then how our lot won in on 89.

[Letters]

Bit more money? :lol:

Sod off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"A bit more money". Indeed Custis, just a few quid here or there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Directly after the games ended I said I gave city no credit at all because they simply bought the title. 24 hours later and with a chance to think about things a little more carefully - they definitely bought the fucking title, the classless, gypo ****s. The arabs could have picked any PL club and that would have been your champions right there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bit more money? :lol:

Sod off!

As a percentage of available wealth shitty actually spent LESS than we did and anyone who says otherwise is a racist.

[Marc Overmars]

Hazard has confirmed he is joining City.

So that 25m midfielder they bought off us last year hasn't worked out entirely, so they go and spunk another 25m on the next flavour of the month.

What an achievement.

No suprise they just buy the think i mean win the thing again.

Didn't he say he wanted to go to Spurs and they was the only club for him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just have to hope they'll sign their Shevchenko and Ballack.

[Marc Overmars]

No suprise they just buy the think i mean win the thing again.

Of course. One of those hacks on Hold the Back Page made me laugh, like City give a shit about in their youth system. They will never have another player come through the ranks again - just like Chelsea.

If there's a problem that needs solving, they will throw however much they can at it. Just like they're seemingly doing with Hazard this summer.

Guess the kid grew up as a city fan and has finally achieved the ambition of playing for his boyhood heroes.

Or else he's just another mercenary **** who wants £250K a week.

Hasn't taken long for this joke club to get the chequebook out again, must have answered the ad on the FA, "PL Title 2012/2013 - Not Yet In Stock - Available to Pre-Order Now!"

?

He said Manchester. Not which club. Non?

I mean we could spend 100 Mill on quality players to help us win this league they just go and spend 5 times as more get the best players win the league and then people would moan we could not win the thing.

[KSE Comedy Club]

The ffp rules kick in next season.

In 2010 citeh posted a loss of £121m.
In 2011 citeh posted a loss of £197m.

According to SSN, they cannot post losses of more than £38m between now and the start of the 2014 season.

[Syn]

That has to be bullshit. They've probably spent more than £38m on Hazard alone. Even if they get rid of a few players, the contracts they've got their big players on will continue to mean they post heavy losses.

[Syn]

Actually, they might be alright. But they'll be banking on this current set of players to build something. They've got too many trouble-makers for that to happen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They still own Roque Santa Cruz FFS! More players will go out on loan (or probably the same players), it's highly unlikely they will ever be able to sell them.

Unfortunately UEFA can probably only dictate sanctions for their competition, if they just want to dominate domestically (financially I mean) there isn't anything stopping them. Scudamore would certainly oppose any attempt to stop their spending in the Premier League.

Not really they played UTD its not like they played crew.

What did you expect them to win 3-0. Cheering for city where we?


You are becoming so sad, and he didn't throw a punch

Tevez clearly did. and went down like a pussie so did Sergio too.

Cool.

A player has to have played in 10 matches for a club during the competition in order to get a medal. Ade played none for Citeh so he gets fuck all.

Manchester City have apologised to Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after striker Carlos Tevez held up a banner goading his former manager.

Tevez has also expressed his regret after he was pictured with a sign which read 'RIP Fergie' during City's celebratory title-winning parade in Manchester.

The 28-year-old is thought to have been passed or thrown the banner by a fan as City's open-top bus made its way through the city centre with the squad and the Barclays Premier League trophy.

A City spokeswoman said: "The creation of the tasteless material is in itself reprehensible and in accepting and brandishing it, Carlos has made a significant error of judgement.

"The club wishes to express its sincerest apologies to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United Football Club for any offence or distress caused."

The sign may have been a reference to a remark by Ferguson three years ago when asked if United would ever be underdogs against City.

"Not in my lifetime," the Scot said.

Tevez, who spent two years at Old Trafford before leaving for City in 2009, said: "I got carried away in the excitement of the moment and I certainly didn't mean any disrespect to Sir Alex Ferguson, who I admire as a man and a manager."

City pipped arch rivals United to the title on goal difference after a dramatic last-gasp 3-2 win over QPR on the final day of the season.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Why is Kenny Canadian?

Probably because he assembles and manages the team with all the technical ability of a Canadian bantam league soccer coach.

[Joker]

Funny how Hazard is suddenly a mercenary **** for wanting to join a bigger club, with more chance of winning trophies and getting a lot more money. If you were offered a much superior job to the one you've currently got would you turn it down?

I won't dwell on this anymore because people obviously get angry when I say it, but some (not all) of the criticisms against City seem based on extreme bitterness, prejudice and snobbery. It's like when a binman wins the lottery and starts splashing the cash and the respectable, establishment classes turn their noses up at this "conspicuous consumption" and irritating that these "nouveau riche" don't know there place.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another city apology, how many is that now? Since Sunday I mean?

[Letters]

That's a stupid comparison because in life there is no sense of competition and what is fair. And life is inherently unfair.
In sport the ideal should be a level playing field. May the best man/team win.
If it's just about may the club with the most money win then what's the point? Where's the sense of achievement?

Football used to be a sport, you know.

It isn't City's fault that the game is like this. They're not the first to do it. Neither were Chelsea actually although they took it to a new level and City have gone even further.

I'm not jealous of City because I don't recognise what they've done as an achievement and I wouldn't want Arsenal to buy trophies so overtly.

[Joker]

Another city apology, how many is that now? Since Sunday I mean?

How many anti-City posts have you made? You're so consumed by Citeh hate that you can't even accept that Barton deserved to get sent off. I probably wouldn't have made so many posts if the posts critical of City didn't degenerate into petty bigotry and class prejudice (in general, not specifically talking about your posts)

Ever stopped to wonder if YOU are causing it all with you neverending anti-Arsenal and pro-city avalanche of shit?

Here we go again, I've never made one anti-Arsenal or pro-City post. I criticise the board and the manager, which is not the same as the club.

And I don't make pro-City comments, I just point out when people go OTT in their hate towards them.

Not really. People hate Citeh, like they hated Chelsea before them, for taking the soul out of the game they love. Don't get me wrong, there have lways been the haves and the have nots, and we were fortunate to be amongst the haves back in the day. But even in the early 00's our success was as much down to the way in which our manager innovated/played the game, and SAF has been the same - generally getting more out of his teams than the sum of their parts.

With Citeh - there is little of this. Little imagination; little innovation; little adventure. Just cold, hard, mercenary cash. Why will Citeh dominate the league over the coming years? Because they have an incredible group of players developing and coming through? Because the have a Guardiola-type manager playing a brand of football rarely seen before? Because of their mental togetherness and endeavour? No. Because they can buy 2 of the best players on the planet for each position.

Citeh have subverted the romance of football. They weren't the first to do so and they are the product of the times. But they are the most high profile culprit, and that is why they are despised by many fans.

Here we go again, I've never made one anti-Arsenal or pro-City post. I criticise the board and the manager, which is not the same as the club.

And I don't make pro-City comments, I just point out when people go OTT in their hate towards them.

Didn't realise it was your job to defend city on an Arsenal forum. Nice one!

Funny how Hazard is suddenly a mercenary **** for wanting to join a bigger club, with more chance of winning trophies and getting a lot more money. If you were offered a much superior job to the one you've currently got would you turn it down?

I won't dwell on this anymore because people obviously get angry when I say it, but some (not all) of the criticisms against City seem based on extreme bitterness, prejudice and snobbery. It's like when a binman wins the lottery and starts splashing the cash and the respectable, establishment classes turn their noses up at this "conspicuous consumption" and irritating that these "nouveau riche" don't know there place.

You mean the same Hazard who said it was his dream to go to spurs and Chelsea. Had he not said that then fine. But he did.

That has nout to do with City being given loads of money to go an spend on players and winning the league. If a bin man wins the lottery then he got lucky and everyone knows it simple. He did not work hard to win it. Yes people will be jealous etc. But people will also now its not the same as those who worked hard to get their Billions and thats who people will tend to respect more.

And i guess it depends on the Binman's behaviour once he turns rich if he is snobish or not now.

Manchester City have apologised to Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after striker Carlos Tevez held up a banner goading his former manager.

Tevez has also expressed his regret after he was pictured with a sign which read 'RIP Fergie' during City's celebratory title-winning parade in Manchester.

The 28-year-old is thought to have been passed or thrown the banner by a fan as City's open-top bus made its way through the city centre with the squad and the Barclays Premier League trophy.

A City spokeswoman said: "The creation of the tasteless material is in itself reprehensible and in accepting and brandishing it, Carlos has made a significant error of judgement.

"The club wishes to express its sincerest apologies to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United Football Club for any offence or distress caused."

The sign may have been a reference to a remark by Ferguson three years ago when asked if United would ever be underdogs against City.

"Not in my lifetime," the Scot said.

Tevez, who spent two years at Old Trafford before leaving for City in 2009, said: "I got carried away in the excitement of the moment and I certainly didn't mean any disrespect to Sir Alex Ferguson, who I admire as a man and a manager."

City pipped arch rivals United to the title on goal difference after a dramatic last-gasp 3-2 win over QPR on the final day of the season.

What a load of PC bollocks. Most would just laugh it off. It is a joke at the expense of the person who sold him. Big fucking deal.

[Xhaka Can’t]

He didn't sell him.

[IBK]

What a load of PC bollocks. Most would just laugh it off. It is a joke at the expense of the person who sold him. Big fucking deal.

Amen to that. Political correctness is the scourge of our times!

[Marc Overmars]

Nothing to do with being PC.

It's to do with Tevez and his club being a classless bunch of twats.

What a load of PC bollocks. Most would just laugh it off. It is a joke at the expense of the person who sold him. Big fucking deal.

Then hold a sign Saying RIP UTD nout wrong with that. But fergie never treated the lad like shit, he wanted to keep him it was the glazers who did not want to give the money for him.

The true nature of some players has come out. Like the Nasri thing, there's no real need for the football world to make a fuss about it. We knew they were ****s and being ****ish is what ****s do.

Gallagher was quite sane on Talksport. First decent point I've heard about city, he said the fans kept the club afloat for 20 years and the thing that attracted the arabs was the stadium which would never have been built if the club thought they couldn't fill it.

But the ****s bought it, everyone knows that.

[GP]

Well, the stadium wasn't even built for them, so I'm not sure I follow on that point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Except that it is bollocks. Citeh had to sell the club to someone else, Shinawatra wasn't named Dodgy Frank for being a clean guy.

That's still fairly recent history though and that whole episode speaks more about the FA than anyone else. I don't really begrudge the city fans (at least the ones who know city weren't formed in 2010). It's the poxy arabs and the mercenary pricks I loathe and the fact the authorities look on and condone what's going on there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Well, the stadium wasn't even built for them, so I'm not sure I follow on that point.

In the same way the Emirates wasn't built for us - but the fuckers who built it knew they could fill it and that does come down to the fans.

Whether you begrudge them or not, it doesn't preclude Gallagher (Noel?) from talking shit. As usual.

[GP]

Now I really don't follow.

The Emirates Stadium was built for Arsenal Football Club.

The City of Manchester Stadium was built for the Commonwealth Games.

[Niall_Quinn]

He was pretty gracious today though. Mind you with Nasri flapping his fat gob a chimpanzee masturbating on the altar at a funeral would be dignified.

[Marc Overmars]

The Emirates was built for us though.

The Etihad was built for Athletics and City rent it off the council.

[Niall_Quinn]

Now I really don't follow.

The Emirates Stadium was built for Arsenal Football Club.

The City of Manchester Stadium was built for the Commonwealth Games.

Well that fucks my argument out the window then. Didn't know that so I'm changing my mind, Gallagher is a ****.

Joker why do you take such issues with anything negative said about city? Seriously, why do you give such a fuck about them?

You also still don't get it do you?

It's not about city, it's not city that fans hate, per say, it's the guy that owns it.

Mansour could have bought any team in the PL, any team, and spunked £500m on them and won the title. It doesn't matter that it was city, it could have been wolves, stoke, everton, Newcastle, etc, etc.

The outcome would have been the same.

Don't you get it?, it was the money that won, not the club, not the team, but the sheer millions of pounds that have been thrown at the club until they got it right. No other club in the country can afford to do things this way, they would go bust.

It is sickening that ths way of player purchasing is allowed to happen.

Wake the fuck up.

Leave him alone, he's just sticking up for his club.

Opta and the BBC have got together to produce some interesting stats for the season.

Kevin Doyle had a mega season, taking 40% of the positions in the top 10 shooting accuracy list!
