Sure isnt Roy also good for an aul gaff now and then? Slagging off his captains accent (and effectively the whole of Liverpool) and calling one of his players a monkey

Sure when at LFC he came out with something like "you dont play in the Europa to play against weak teams"  

Oh don't get me wrong, as a West Ham fan I am no fan of Roy's selection policy either.

I guess at least with 'Arry there is more to laugh about.

pellegrini load of shit. 

Tbf, they were a total shambles at the back for the entire game. PSG really should have gotten more.

Its been a good set of champions league quarter finals. Nobody has eliminated themselves in the first leg, although I think Benfica are pretty unlikely to progress.

Makes no difference to me whether he does or does not. They could get beat every week and I would still support them.

I have made my views clear on Pellegrini on here and the sentiment is shared by the vast majority of City fans.

that was a decent and exciting match last night.

Liverpool must be kicking themselves tho, cos they had the better chances by far but didn't put them away.

That's pretty much every game recently. 1st leg against Man U. 1st half against Southhampton. Last night..........

yup ... if they were taking a decent amount of the chances they'd be doing better than they are.

I'm not entirely sure how the average of goals to chances stands against the football average at the top level, tho I suspect it's not actually too bad. Where it probably falls down a little is with the quality of some of those chances, such as with the one-on-one that Origi missed last night, and the chance to score with those three in-quick-succession saves.

I still want to see Origi and Sturridge spend a decent amount of time together on the pitch, as I reckon they might combine better than the other combinations being played.

Well balotelli is back next season, that's another striker.

I would like to see a Balotelli and benteke combination for the season.

 You wish. Both will be sold. Balotelli is fucking useless.

Anything else you'd like in your quest for Man Utd to make the top 4?

With a bit of luck Balotelli is off to China and Beneteke to Italy. I don't expect either to be on Liverpool's books for next season, tho all things are possible I guess.

I can't see either playing next season at Liverpool, then again they certainly will be on Liverpool's books.

From newspaper gossip, it doesn't look like either will be on Liverpool's books. As I said, word is that Batotelli is off to China, and Beneteke to Italy - both as sales, not loans.

To help things along I'm hoping Beneteke has a great Euros, cos he's far from a shoddy player - he just doesn't suit how Liverpool play.

I'm thinking Liverpool will have to heavily subsidise both players wages.

if they're sold, that (precisely) won't be what's happening.

Tho of course the structure of any deal are likely to have big losses on both players.

But hey, they still won't total up to anything like the amount your guy has clocked up.

City need a win today otherwise we have no chance of winning the league 

[Gucci Piggy]

City already have no chance of winning the league. Leicester would have to lose 4 of their remaining 6 games with City winning all 7 of their remaining games.

[thetime]

City need to concentrate on winning a few games to finish top 4, never mind the title.

Never say never till it is impossible.

Great game to watch Earlier: West Ham vs Arsenal.

Few shit decisions for both sides, especially the "offside" Lanzini goal, draw probably a fair result as perhaps Carroll could have been sent off.

Always nice to watch Arsenal bottle it though

Standard these days. Great game though yeah. 

Huge games at top and bottom tomorrow. Newcastle look fucked.

getting bored of the refs being awful, they seem to be getting worse each week (in general not just specific decisions).

seemed an excellent game for the neutrals though.
