I think money will be spent this summer and who ever they get in manager wise might not really matter.
The top brass at city want champions league(and they should) and there's only one manager for it and thats Ancelotti in my eyes and if city can't get him good and well let's stick with Pell!

Ancelotti would obviously be the dream for a club like City, I think Simeone would be great too though. That said he may not want to leave Atheltico. Probably not too many other options around Europe aside from those two.

Looks like Busquets just broke his ankle against Villareal , looks a bad one , could be a big loss against ye in the 2nd leg...

Just saw a vine of it, really really nasty looking.

Also, I actually only realised now, but Kompany was dropped from the first XI today. Hope it does him some good.

A lot of things really... like Chelsea to cede a goal or two :P.

Think we can forget about the title as can't really see Chelsea slipping up like Liverpool did last year, their team/squad is way too strong.

Surprised at all this gruff coming out about Pelli in danger of losing his job, I think he is safe enough for the time being. I think he is being hampered by the FFP rules which is limiting his options. It will be interesting to see what can be done over the summer but TBH dont expect much. Would desperately love to keep Milner but it doesnt look like he will sign a new contract.

It is interesting to see who we are being linked with in the Manager front, in particular Simeone, but I am guessing City is being used by the agent to beef up Simeone contract talks with Madrid.

Hate to admit it, but MP sprang to mind straight away when I spotted that!

Wheels off the chelsea train,lets hope so!!

Unfortunately I think it will be the opposite, they only have the league go concentrate on now and I expect them to sew it up over the next month.

It would be a truly spectacular collapse if Chelsea were to throw it away now. I like your optimism though. On a side note, I've said it before and I'll say it again- we should sign Marco Verratti.

Not really, hopefully we have bigger things to focus on... starting next week!

Honestly wouldnt care if Chelsea win the league if we somehow get past Barcelona and get a decent run at the Champion League, There are a couple of beatable teams that made the quarters so far and would fancy Man City chances against them if they get to that stage.

Had a ganger in the Chelsea fourm, alot of them giving out about the away goal in extra time.Surely the home advantage negates the away goal and balances out over 30 mins.
Some where saying to go straight to penos,who in there right mind would want to go straight to penos,especially when you have a man advantage at home?

That was the fairest option, 120mins to get 1 goal that counts as 2 compared to 90 mins of the same isnt really fair the alternative is to have away goals scrapped in ET and play as is, which gives the home side the slight edge, meet in the middle, penalties.

But having the home game second is a clear advantage,I think its fair and et should be played.

It should be played, but the 2nd leg ET score shouldnt include away goals, its only my thoughts on it, nothing to do with Chelseas result, if it happens another team in the UCL this season I'll feel the same.

1 team has 90mins to get an away goal and 90 mins of home advantage
while another has 120mins to get an away goal and 90mins home advantage.

Far too many passengers in the City squad just picking up a wage, expecting huge transfer business this Summer.

Please, Man City have the best players in England, they've the best manager in England. There must be some kind of matchfixing going on!!!

Ye were robbed of a penalty as well lads, now ye know how we feel all season.

Behave yourself. If you honestly think Pellegrini is the best manager in England, you need to watch more football. Anyway; a big well done to Burnley. They deserved the win tonight, notwithstanding the blatant penalty we should have got. We'd have probably missed it anyway.

I like Pellegrini, I think he deserves more time. However if Ancelloti or Simeone become available we should make a move for them.

That is possibly the worst we have been all season btw, just missing basic passes everywhere. Navas's final ball is shocking.

super_furry · 14-03-2015 08:23PM

Haven't seen all that much of him but has Bony been anything but awful since joining City?
