No it's not a joke. Yes we are stable at winning stuff.
6 trips to Wembley, 2 trophies in 3 seasons.
Look at our squad, with a good summer we could destroy the PL next year.

Pretty much. He wears a blue scarf, therefore it'd be stupid to get rid.
He got his medal, but I don't have a picture.

You're also stable at being a complete joke in Europe.
In a group of death. The two that went through from out group were in the semi final.
We need to improve in Europe for sure. But lets give Mancini one last crack of the whip.

I don't agree.
He came in half way through a season - lets write that off.
In his first full season he won them their first cup and got them CL football. The team played decent football at times.
Next year he won them the title. They played some great football. The CL was poor but forgivable because the group was tough and they did get 7/8 points.
Next year he was bad. Poor in the league. Awful in the CL.
So this is the first chance they've had to sack him when it could be justified. Unless you think he should have been sacked last season or half way through this season?
So if one bad season means he gets sacked, fair enough. As I said, Pellegrini better have a good season.

Boateng's blonde hair now makes more sense. Balo too.
Napoli were first time CL competitors too, but they didn't give endless excuses. Dortmund were shit last season in the CL, and weren't shit this season. And City didn't just ifnish beneath them, but City didn't even finish above Ajax. Good team, yes, but when they're on a small fraction of the City budget... come on.
Oh and let's not forget that the only reason a group of death is even a possibility is because Mancini didn't take the Europa League seriously last season. And City will get another shitty group next season because they couldn't even get 3rd in the group to boost their coefficient even a little bit.
Mancini is shit, pure shit, in Europe. There is no way to deny this.

Next season could be the closest at the top yet (which gets said every season but):
1. United - New manager so not unfathomable that they drop slightly in performance.
2. City - New manager so could improve or beome worse but will spend big.
3. Chelsea - Jose will be backm likely to improve. Already have very talented attack.
4. Spurs - If Bale stays and they get a BasedLevy striker they could get better.
4. Arsenal - If and only if Wenger spends the kinds of money he is widely reported to have at his desposal.
6. Liverpool - Second year under Rodgers. Up and down results like to reduce over time. Coutinho is player of the season next year.

Ah you might be right about that. Either way, if wasn't a horrible effort at all.
Still not worthy of the money but it was a decent attempt.

Lets not forget the year before too where you didn't get through... or that Mancini have never been able to deliver in Europe, not even now with his near unlimited funds.
Huh? I've always said it was nice to see City give Mancini time, but at this point I think it's perfectly fine to fire him.
Your squad should destroy the Pl right now. You are deluding yourself
Yeah. Much better than this seasons showing. It was like the defeat to Madrid from a winning position just killed us.

Oh, not the "10 points would've qualified in any other group" myth.
6 points came against a side that was relegated (!!!) from La Liga, and I don't think picked up a single point in the group stage. so everyone in the group picked up 6 points against them because they were terrible.
3 came against a Bayern side that had already qualified and played a weakened team.
City did very poor in that group too.

I do think City will win the league next season. Big spending this summer should sort out the holes in their squad. United might suffer a slight downturn though I still expect them to finish 2nd. Clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool can't be trusted to sustain any sort of title challenge so it will likely be another 2 horse race.

Qin is deadly serious, we're fifa bros and he typed that post by smashing every key of his keyboard really loudly.
Exactly what did I say that was unreasonable? I've exaggerated much more before, like that educational post about top 4 chances a few days back.

Juve celebrations seem hype. United were a bit reserved today.

lololol.
this thread needs Facism.
fener vs galata, possibly the biggest rivalry here. galata are already champions, fener fans are angry because galata secured the league and they get couldn't go to finals in uefa. lots of tension building up for quite some time.
controversial match from the whistle, a penalty for galata and two controversial goals. we are in 90+5, fener is leading 2-1, their goalie gets a red card, 3 subs out. their midfielder puts on the gloves.

Compared to other nations the celebrations are always really low key.
It's a bit of a shame.

EPL 2 team league confirmed
It is healthy, actually. I already made myself accustomed to the idea of Europa next season so even if Chelsea had not made it, it wouldn't have been such a blow. And I don't lose anything now they've qualified just because I downplayed their chances earlier. I would feel like an idiot if I predicted success and they fucked up, like earlier this season when I said I wouldn't have taken a simple 1-0 before that bloody home game against QPR.
