As I said sloppy passing for Newcastle, Ba and Cisse didn't get a look in, we had 2 off chances but that was due to sloppy city posession

Our killer instinct has waned. We haven't been able to turn out our usual comebacks this season and the Everton capitulation was sickening.

We won at Villa last season with 10 men after Defoe got sent off.
Defoe comes on.
Defoe comes on.

smh.Trophy less season, feels bad
Eto'o at the time was dressing room poison and had 12 months left on the contract.
I know, right.

Ugh, bunch of damn Mercs..
Hope they'll still lose it somehow, lol
Shame if Newcastle ends up not even being in the EL

Hope Fergie has the balls to go for all-out attack today. No other way to win it and nothing to lose, might as well go for it.

Huh? We're guaranteed Europa League at least.
They deserve it. (Their fans don't, but the team sure does.)
Yeah that sucks. But 8 points ahead never felt right to me, not with this squad.
That will not happen, they tend to play like shite against these teams. perhaps 3-0 tops but thats it.
Ehhhh we havea one-uhh tougha gaima nd they still have two eezy gaimas left.
nah, not really a Villa fan, just want them to hold off Spurs so we stay 3rd lol

We aren't scoring 10 goals against Swansea
Time to give up and look for next season. City has played well this season, and out played us completely over both legs.
Bring on the title challenge next season (which might not even exist if Fergie doesn't buy well in Summer)

Ehhh. A better manager might have taken it at a canter.

Tbh, those are the standards at the club over the last few years.
Unsurprising people feel like that when you consider the context of the season.

Really? What if Chelsea wins the next two, while you lose your next game?
But if I'm wrong: by all means, congrats!

So many corners
Thats exactly what needs to happen these next two games. Just go all out because we now have nothing to lose. I can't believe we gave up the title.
lolololol
:lol You know it's coming.
Top 6 are guaranteed Europa League. The lowest we can finish is 6th.

We're guaranteed EL though...

The Premier League has been for sale since its inception. Arguably the only team that has won it without a ridiculous outlay has been Arsenal.
They're completely different in the way they play. Can't really compare the 2 imo.
For a surging midfielder that plays high up the pitch, Toure is your man. But I'd take Busquets as a DM.
Looks like City have won the league. United need at least a 6 goal winning margin to be in contention next week. And the team we have out for Swansea doesn't fill me with much confidence.
The cost of United's starting eleven/subs and City's aren't that different.

Beside City, the rest of the 'top' teams have been shit this season. They need new players desperately
The only way City are going to dominate the league for the next couple of years now is if Man United go 5 seasons in a row with having half there team out injured for most of each season and City get lucky every year with injuries.City going to dominate the league for a couple of years now, similar to Chelsea with Mou. Can't see us competing in Europe without buying top players but that's not going to happen.
Trophy less season, feels bad
Give up? When the only thing separating the two is goal difference? Come on! Maybe it's best to not get your hopes up but City could still somehow, some way lose to or draw with QPR. You know, after a freak accident that takes out most of City's players or something.
Newcastle spent quite a bit in the 90s too, but we bottled that.
