The way Norwich are playing, I'd say they're in for a beating regardless!  Norwich have no attack and play entire matches in their own half.  A side that had no shots on target in a 'must win' match away at Stoke, is not going to pull off a surprise result at Man City!

Amanda Holden - lesbian romps??

Reports knocking about that Pellegrini is coming and Mancini is on the way out... Fans are going to go beserk if they turn out to be true. Four years with Mancini and things are going pretty well. A new manager would set us right back to square one. 

You probably know more than me but I don't rate Mancini one bit.

CL qualification each season, an FA cup and a title in the bag looks pretty good to me.

However, if not him... then who do you rate?

I dunno.

But Balotelli walked all over him when he was there. Then there's Tevez.

Dunno? Well I think that tells us everything we need to know... the only manager worth noting is Mourinho, but the guy is only a short term solution. He's someone who will run riot and then soon sod off... Inter Milan fell into pieces after he left. And players have been walking over managers for years... Suarez at the moment is practically walking all over his club at the minute, they'd still be daft to get rid though considering how good he is. Same applied to Fergie when Scholes refused to play and with Rooneys transfer request.

And Mancini has known Balotelli since he was just 13 and at Inter. Everyone knows his ability and some managers would say he's worth the havoc he brings. It may also be worth pointing out that it was his pass to Aguero that won us the league in the final seconds last season.

Still don't rate Mancini.

You don't have to... but I can't see you rating many other managers out there either. You can only take what's available.

I don't have to provide the answers you know.

City have failed miserably in the League this year. The poorest team to have won it in recent times have won it by a canter.

Second is failing miserably? Well, ok. Regardless of how poor we've been, we've still finished in a pretty good position.

Oh. And there's a difference between not wanting to give an answer and not being able to give one.

Aye we'll see when you hit Europe again next season.

It's almost as big as the difference between Mancini and Fergie this year.

If only we had Brendan Rodgers.

Brendan take pause me pause seriously Rodgers is playing at it.

Oh dear.

Lampard... Legend!

He is  

Well done Wigan - well deserved win! I would love them to take the relegation battle to the final day but cannot see them getting a win at the Emirates.

*I was given 2 cup final tickets during the week but passed them on to a work colleague whose son is a City fan i hope they enjoyed the day out (if not the result).

Are the rules for throw-ins different in Italy? The reason I ask is, I have seen several taken, of late, when one or in a case last week both feet where off the ground when the throw-in was taken 

Wow Leicester appear to have done a "Brentford" - missed a penalty and Watford went straight down the other end and scored! Chaos, pitch invasion... but Watford in the play-off final!

A great achievement.

Norwich are winning - where is the Norwich fan?

Scores not going well for Wigan today - it looks like they will have to win both remaining games to survive.

Am I right in hearing ESPN won't be showing any Premiership footie next season?

Well done to our resident Canary.

All that angst  

I always said they would be OK.

Phew! We stay up. *Wipes brow* 

Yeah with BT doing stuff now Donks.  

Well that's getting cancelled then. £120 a year 

You're safe Sprouty 

Pardew's got work to do though.

Yes it's free with BT broadband. They are trying to take on the evil empire Sky.

Yay! Amazing result against the Baggies.  We're Premier League !!!!! 

Didn't expect to pull it off but staying up in fine style!  Thanks Baggies for not turning up!

Well I'll be the first to say it.

Moyes to Utd makes sense  

Scholesy's got to be the best no nonsense player for a long time.

No pre or post Madonna with him.

Houghton was getting slaughtered on the radio this morn for being too defensive.

I always liked Delia though 

His tactics have been so defensive and what's made it worse has been it's been in contrast to Lambert's open and more adventurous style.

There's been some terrible football played by Norwich this season but now they're secure and assured of those fat Premier League payouts, Hughton can afford to splash out on more adventurous players and not have to rely on overly defensive play.

Mancini sacked
