MickA Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 To say I am well chuffed would be the understatement of the century! 30 years ago I sat in my grot in HK having wished for Tommy Hutchinson to score I can finally forget that ...it cost me a crate of Tiger too Blue Moon rising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDrinker Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Well done City! It was a poor final though. Possibly the worst I've seen. A reality check for City fans is needed here. For me they have to stick with this team who are just starting to gel. Just throwing money around doesn't make a good team. Consistency does.Look at your more successful neighbors and learn. Don't do a Chelsea. I do now know who ate all the pies at the COMS. It wasn't my mate Ant but Carlos Tevez... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Congrats to City. Hope you are too tired and emotional for the next 7 days to nick 3rd place from us . The spirit in our camp seems so f_kd up now that I would not be surprised if that happened. Then we lose a few key players like Nasri, then we get knocked out by Bayern in the qualifiers then the regrets and recrims start about giving Wenger that one last chance. Someone give me a good slapping to get me out of this late season torpor . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeungKen Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Today would be a good day to write anything - Mr B.J. is not going to be in any fit state to moderate the over 80's tiddy-wink championship, let alone this forum. But I will remember what my old (City supporting) grandad said, be a good sport and give credit where it's due. Congratulations, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks to all for the well wishes. I must admit to be being a bit shell shocked after the game. I can't believe that we have actually done it. It really has been too long. To those with the negative comments. Up yours. There ain't no way your'e gonna put me in a bad mood today.

carmine Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Well done City. Deserved that. Now the monkeys off the back i'm expecting big things next season and i'll think some big signings from you.

Barcelona19 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 If Man City could get Ronaldo even for 200m, they should do it, not even Manutd can stop City with Ronaldo in the team. I think that 200m spent on multiple 30m players still would not be worth spending it all on Ronaldo (or Messi for that matter). These two will make their teams a much stronger team.

Well now they will sit up and listen Well I certainly dont begrudge City fans some success after all these years. Above all else they have shown both patience and a sense of humor. If you can get your way past the FFP rules and build on your success only time will tell. I will genuinely be impressed if your Sheik starts using his money more productively. Like expanding your stadium and offering match day tickets for 15 quid a go. That will certainly wipe the smirk off United's face. And would be great for the game.

mrbojangles Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Toure learns return date Defender banned for six months but able to return in September Manchester City defender Kolo Toure will be able to play again in early September following a Football Association hearing into his failed drugs test. Manchester City confirmed on 3rd March that Toure had tested positive for a banned substance and immediately suspended him from duty. The Ivory Coast international subsequently sat out the final two months of the season after his case became the subject of a legal process. He was strongly defended by a number of team-mates and former colleagues, while Arsene Wenger, who managed Toure at Arsenal, claimed the failed test was due to mistakenly taking a diet pill belonging to the player's wife.
