Funny you should mention Van Gaal and Madrid and Barca. Was looking at the league table from when he was there to see how many goals his team conceded. 53, 42 and 46. Not great, though there's not much relevance to our team.
But I noticed that in 99 Real Madrid conceded 62 goals and kept six clean sheets when they finished second.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
9 more than Extremadura...who were relegated!
Bet that was such an entertaining season.
Melton, I did say this nearly 2 years ago!
So, the main reason I want Pellegrini to go now still isn't Europe. Aside from tonight (which was the second leg of a semi final against Real, just to put it into context), he has done very well in Europe.
My issue has been not for the reasons in your OP, but the tactics he has used in the league and the way he has set the team up in a lot of those games.
Going out to Barca twice and then Real in the semi, apart from a woeful performance tonight which was his fault, I don't think he can be said to be naive in Europe as being the main reason for getting rid of him.
a simple 'you were right' would have done
walkover is now virtually impossible to qualify from because City dropped 5 points to an extremely weak side.
...
Robb you were wrong.
Did you have another account Robb.
Look at it this way, Melts, I know it hurts now but I'll be going to work with a massive smile on my face tomorrow, so you've done some good tonight.
What do you reckon about fourth? I have a feeling we'll fluck it all up at Norwich so you won't have to worry, but stranger things have happened.
Ha! Fair enough, you were right Robb, although for the wrong reasons so i'm not sure it counts...
Post,
I'm actually not that disappointed as its one game closer to him going, just a bit depressing how poor the set up and the second half was.
Top four, I think you stand a really good chance. We won't get maximum points from the last two games.
Part of me thinks it would be funny for West Ham to get it, neither of us deserve it really.
I think West Ham will get it. Swansea away will be very interesting on the last day for you.
Robb - could you say you think city will definitely get it now
I like the fact West Ham United got hammered
This has been a weird season to be fair. Very very unpredictable.
Robb I had a good record in prediction league.

It'd be a brave man that predicted the city - Arsenal result tomorrow.

True. I think because arsenal will still get top 4 even with a loss that City are probably gonna edge it. But anything can happen.
No way in hell city will get a result against Arsenal today
I dunno Loz, the young lad up front will cause them problems and they're not famous for digging in and grinding a result out. You shouldn't be playing Toure from what I've seen recently though.

Pellegrini should go.
