Yeah there till the end and more, don't post on Bluemoon,easy to get carried away on there. Think we will be praying on Pep to bring someone in a lot better than Bony, you might as well hit the corner flag then the Crossbar mate, points we needed and just not up to it full season, 1 Cup, Semi final CL ( Corner flag) we are better than that. Who will come to us for Thursday night footy? Sounds depressing but as my fellow blue says... some good away days. Zabba, Yaya, Korolov,Demichales, Sterling and Bony can go for me with Zabba we remember but we must progress or we will end up like the Rags. Ctid

Weird with Kolarov. When the players came out into the centre circle post match, he hung around the dugout area (close to where I sit), then when the lap of honour started he disappeared into the tunnel, to return to the field when the first team squad were heading back into the changing rooms. I think someone knows his days are more than numbered.

Be surprised if we see him, Bony, MDM, big Willy and Yaya there next season. Others who might be looking over their shoulders nervously are Navas, Fernando and Zaba. Pep is notorious for wanting to work with as small a squad as possible.

Stayed behind. Not a vintage season but MP deserved better IMO.

Looking forward to seeing where Pep can take us.

How's the hangovers?

Well, the Real Madrid game was a huge let down. I was still actually reasonably confident and hopeful that at about 65-70 minutes we would change gear, kick on and go for it. Our inability to throw the kitchen sink at it during the last 10 minutes or so was scary and just didn't make sense. Horrible. The only game I recall that was similar was the defining City v United derby  close to the end of the season in 2012 when United needed to get a draw at the Etihad to effectively win the league and they couldn't create a thing all night.

A big game today. If we don't win the top 4 place is literally in United's hand. Perish the thought. Only consolation there for me is that next year's season tickets will be paid for because I couldn't resist laying City at a range of short prices at diferent stages in the 2nd half of the season. 

+1 with all that.

Going a goal down didn't concern me too much as it didn't really change a great deal, we still had to score. You could see Madrid dropping deeper in the 2nd half, and I was sat there waiting for the onslaught....but it just didn't happen. No shame in losing a 2 legged semi vs Real Madrid by a single goal, but we certainly could've made a better impression on the games, particularly the 2nd half of the 2nd leg. Hopefully the experience will be of some use going forward. Though not much use if we end up 5th

I'm gonna cover all bases and say that the Europa League has the better away days.

From his FB page. I want his babies.

''I'll miss the Euros.

To me that's very sad news.

So I could be standing here, feeling sorry for myself. I could fear for my career, as others may do. I could give up.

That is not me.

I decide on my future .

There is a bigger picture to everything in life and only failing to see it, will cause me to fail.

I am a hard worker and a fighter and if you are too, then you know that, to people like us, success can come in many forms. We trust ourselves when the going gets tough.

I have the greatest respect for those who overcome their personal challenges in life with a positive attitude.

I want to live up to that.

So I remain calm and positive. I will continue to follow my path and I will do so with more conviction than ever.

I trust my friends and teammates to do well and do us proud at the next European Championships in France. I am now officially their most fervent supporter and I will be there to support them.

Written from my hospital bed,

Never giving up,

Vincent Kompany''

Pep factor helped them 'over perform' this season in Champions League but still strikes!  Over 90% likely to not win the champs league at start of the season pre Pep announcement.

Like saying the Pep factor stopped K2 off beating KK!

Doesn't fit Mr Bedi's tiresome agenda though.

Bit of a blow as a deal is almost done and dusted. How long does a dislocated kneecap keep you out for?

Sausage mash and gravy in a giant Yorkshire pudding.

Drink it all in and enjoy every minute.

Without wanting to be controversial, but for me I simply can't fathom that the birth of any child or marriage to any woman will ever top that fateful day against QPR in 2012.

I'm gonna die old and lonely

You can thank Harvey Keitel for that scene and pretty much most of the film; Tarantino somehow got the script to him, Keitel decided he wanted to be involved, others followed, the budget went from $30k to over a million and the rest is history. Had that not happened, Tarantino was gonna shoot it with his fellow video clerk mates using amateur cameras, and Pulp Fiction never would have been born. And neither would have both the Kill Bill films, so its swings and roundabouts really.

I digress, I only came on here to request staking payment details. I assume carrier pigeon is ok? Not sure we have internet banking in Yorkshire yet.

Well I have no idea who Harvey Keitel is, but well done him.

Did you go watch Man City in the CL semi-final thing? How was it? I'm told Yaya weighs more than I do these days. Maybe even as much as you. True, or false?

Bank Deets for the Staking - I'll start sending them out by PM today & tomorrow. Thank you.

For those not aware, hhy is the Next Door forum equivalent of GreekStein here, back in the day, when he was the blonde Policeman. He gives short shrift to Team Rigged. I have to button my lip, & stay diplomatic, & on-message, but hhy so often writes what I think.

On which note, hhy, never mind staking details, you have work to do, after this beauty appeared overnight, & I note you have failed to perform your duty on this one. Fortunately, Jimi Hendriks & Grumpy Paul have deputised for you.

I mean, that's just disgraceful - no need at all for that closing exclamation mark.

I just had to Google 'bagatel'.....I think I'll leave that one alone for now. If he thinks he's seeing perverted outcomes then he's looking at the wrong web pages and sites. You should Google Harvey Keitel. I know you have a soft spot for musicals but that's not his genre, so its understandable you don't know who he is.

I was in Menorca this week so had to settle for a bar over there. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when I'm more mobile than Toure. He could've asked Kolo to lend him some of his wife's slimming pills. I foresee a transfer to Italy or China on the horizon. It's gonna be an exciting summer though, the rumour mill will be working overtime.

Looking forward to reading all about your Vegas exploits.

Would it not make business sense to sell both Mahrez and Kante this summer? Their stock is at its absolute peak right now, it won't get higher than this. Hindsight is a beautiful thing, but I bet Swansea regret not taking £30m for Michu a couple seasons back.

Both players have had an incredible season, but its exactly that, a season. There is no guarantee that they'll reproduce the levels we have seen this year. Fast forward to summer 2017, Leicester have had a decent season and finish 9th for example, and those 2 were again important but less influential squad players and don't trouble any team of the year XI's.....how does that effect their value?

Obv the reasons to keep them is not needing the money, and if the club believe another title tilt is on the cards then it would be crazy to move them on. But £50m+ for a couple of players you paid peanuts for?

Just got back from holiday so belated congratulations. There were a few unhappy Spurs fans in the bar in Menorca on Monday night!

[man united would still be in the title race]

Would the rags prefer to be the biggest or the best?

All I was alluding to was if this was a Hollywood film the ending would take place at OT and no other English stadium of club come close

Hollywood exec "can we make this story about Manchester United? "

By the time hollywood are finshed, vardy would be from the bronx, man united would still be in the title race, and all the man united team would be russians.

Definitely tinsletown stuff.
