Anyway winning the Europa League will be a start but I don't quite think we are there yet, I believe we lack a world class commanding center half so if we did go on to win it, it would be as much a shock as it would be a joy to watch.
The Premier League title was never in our grasp this season and it would be too much to ask our lads considering, this season has been more of a team bonding season with a few new signings.
I believe next season will be our push for the title with some of our youth stepping up and Edin Dzeko will then have got to grips with England and our style.
Still being in the FA Cup is fantastic and replay after replay can seem a bit unsettling or tiresome for us fans but, it also makes for a much more interesting season.
I hate to say it but at points the 'Typical City' has reared its ugly head and we still have not quite shaken it off, the day we do will be the day we really start to push on and I think it is going to take a title or trophy to do so.
Despite the stutter our season so far has been a fantastic one topped off with the capture of Dzeko.
On a further positive note the first nail is officially in the United coffin, the Rat Gary Neville has kick started the retirement era of United so who is up next I wonder?
R.I.P. Mr Neil Young, we send our condolence to the Young family, Neil will never be forgotten.
Two and a half years after Roman Abramovich purchased Chelsea they were League Cup champions, Premier League champions and will on their way to retaining the Premier League.
ReplyDeleteMan City have spent far more money in the first two and a half years and have no silver wear to show for it.
First of all, Chelsea were already a Champions League club before Roman Abramovich purchased them, next Chelsea did not have to spend as much as City as they already had an established base of squad players where as City did not.
ReplyDeleteCity are leagues ahead of Chelsea in the youth department, if your going to compare Chelsea to City and Vica Versa then you have to compare Chelsea atleast 3 years before Abramovich purchased them.
But then you wont see it in a logical way, or will you?
I think it's logical to compare Man City to Chelsea as the Chelsea model presents a bench mark. The big difference is the manager. Mourinho is a strong manager who can deal with players that have big ego's. Look at what he did at Inter Milan and Porto. He was able to win the Champions League without massive investment. Inter Milan were a long way from winning the Champions League before Mourinho and only capilitised in their own league because of the implosion at A.C. Milan and Juventus.
ReplyDeleteMichael Martin was the man who set up the HSE. A massive black hole for the tax payers and a complete failure. Waiting lists at hospitals have increaded since then. He has been a minister for fiftheen years and is only now talking about reform. it seems for Mr. Martin that the political system isn't working when it doesn't work for Fianna Fail. It's the party before the country once again.
