K-9 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Seems Man City can "gain" a spot in Europe on Sunday just by not puttig in any tackles against Middlesbrough. England have gained an extra UEFA cup spot through fair play league. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7392552.stm As an aside surely makes Boro a good price at 11/10 to win since City will do anything to not get bookings?

OneZanderDiamond Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Great news. Sven must stay!!! Link to comment
bland_flabbis Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It just shows what a huge job he's done at Man City when he can turn a squad full of thugs, cheats and general arseholes into the winner of the fair play league. Link to comment

Who's this like? The only player you could accuse of being a thug was Barton and he was gone before Sven came in. Link to comment

Michael Ball stamping on Ronaldo? Ben Thatcher knocking Pedro Mendes unconscious? Joey Barton putting his own teammate in hospital? They've had a culture led by thuggish muppets for years and getting rid of Barton and Thatcher was only the tip of the iceberg. Link to comment
OneZanderDiamond Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thatcher left ages ago and Ball was a one-off incident Link to comment
bland_flabbis Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thatcher left ages ago and Ball was a one-off incident It wasn't a one off incident, it was part of a series of incidents which have taken place involving Man City players that would lead us to the perfectly reasonable conclusion that their squad cultivated a thuggish mentality. As a result they were consistently near the bottom of the fair play table before Sven came to the club. I view his job as something akin to Michelle Pfieffer in the film Dangerous Minds, but with Britpop rather than hip hop. Link to comment

Could cost them a place in Europe!! Link to comment

OneZanderDiamond Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Apparently City could almost afford the whole team to be sent off as long as Everton stay 5th Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The fightback begins - 7-1. Link to comment
E-P-K Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Sending off, Bookings and a pitch invasion by City fans will not do there fair play standings much good. Link to comment
