Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

City website at the moment is more tilting than that moron who sits at every poker table saying how each should have been played.

Pep Guardiola has been a distraction for Manchester City, says Manuel Pellegrini http://gu.com/p/4tdcn/stw

What does Pello know? People on here know better

But keep pushing your agenda.

[George2Loose]

Not pushing any agenda. Just obvious it's gonna have an effect.

Of course it will have an effect to a degree, they are football players not robots.

But you like to make out we threw the league away since the Pep announcement, when actually we were 3rd or 4th at the time (can't remember which), still 3rd now, a trophy in the cabinet and a Champions League semi on the horizon.

I understand you're probably jealous that we have Guardiola arriving this summer whilst you are stuck with that dinosaur LVG

[George2Loose]

I think if City had waited they'd still be challenging and Pep would still be on his way

[arbboy]

Only thing which cost you the league this year is injuries and finally an extended run in the Champions league and other cup competitions haven't helped you scheduling wise.

Shame there hasn't been an over reaction like you might have thought where it really matters for next season.  Very solid 13/8 favs for next year's title.

Injuries? U mean Kompany?

[rinswun]

KDB more important

[arbboy]

Both.  Probably their two most important players alongside the little fella up front.  They would have torched this league apart if they had both been fully fit all season.

[nirvana]

Nasri a big miss  too imo

[flushthemout]

Lots of injuries to key players and we lost momentum, pello factor with pep coming imo not relevant. Payed big wages and should still perform, we didn't perform enough and titles won and lost over inconsistent performance. Still a decent season compared to the Chelsea, Liverpool and the quite neighbours. One big push to champion league final now, but not sure we have enough.

[toddswain]

I had slight hope of nicking a point tonight. Team line ups just dashed all hopes. Gonna be grim

[flushthemout]

Villa could do with delph back, see if Sterling and Bony will come along, what has happened to Sterling?
