Proper Football

[King Kev]

I have to say that this is the worst World Cup I have ever seen, for many reasons! The ball's shit, the weather's shit, the vuvuzelas are shit, the coverage is shit and on the whole, the football is shit. I'm sick of it already!

Does anybody want to talk about real football? What should we be aiming for this season? Top 4? A Trophy?

I really think we can finish 3rd or 4th this season and get to a cup final, I will be happy with that!

An opening fixture statement of intent, we need to break the Spurs hoodoo.

Thank god somebody else thinks the same as me, it has been a shit world cup theres no buzz around it atall.

I think with the signing that we could get i think we should be aiming to go for the title.

That made think of vuvuzelas and chuckle to myself

Have to say watching that dire performance, that while I did hurt a little I did think how much that watching City play such crap on the odd occasion hurts me more.

Yeah PROPER FOOTBALL... whats that again??

oh, yeah. men running round with passion playing to WIN, pushing forward as one in achieving a dream. Yup City WILL push on next season Carling Cup and a ambitious 2nd in the LEAGUE.

As soon as i posted it i thought some one was gonna make a joke about it lol

[Crossie]

The ITV match comentators, Andy Townsend and whoever the other one is, were sturing it up so much tonight, they were talking like 2 News of the World reporters.

[Dameerto]

As soon as the game finished I switched over - I will be in self imposed news exile until their next game.

[Ted Hughes]

I agree that it's been the worst world Cup i've ever seen so far & I don't think there's one top quality side in it. That will make it even more frustrating if England wuss out of it by being below par. Mourinho is right, International football is no longer the pinacle.

City could do Spurs in that 1st game if we have the likes of YaYa Toure in midfield. We were doing well in the middle of the pitch in the last game until injury changed things. Lescott will handle Crouch better than the CB's did last time. Lennon will be a nervous shadow of his former self once England have finished with him. (Torres & Gerrard will be keen to put their World Cup nightmares behind them & get us a goal each).

I am not incredibly old (31) but this is definitely the worst World Cup I remember for all the reasons you listed KK.

Especially the Vuvuzelas are really ruining it for me.

[Mike J]

i actually think the past 3 days or so have been quality.

watching england brings it down a few notches. they are shit.

Agreed. The second round of games have been much better but then the first round of group games are invariably dull affairs at every WC so I tend not to get that worked up about it. There is always a debate about the ball at every WC and usually the poor standard of officials so I tend to ignore endless bollocks about the ball and am relatively surprised about how good the reffing has been so far.

Throw in the fact that I don't even notice the vuvuzelas means I am thoroughly enjoying the WC with England's woeful displays being the only depressing factor.

I really really miss City and can't wait for City to be back. Top 4 finish with a good cup run.

[Blue in the face]

I cant wait for Citys season to begin. Im actually looking forward to the last match. Me and my mates are coming over to the last match, to either COMS or the swamp depending who is at home (Im the only City supporter) but we're at Bolton and thats close enough to a home match for me.

Sorry Kev, I can't hear you because of the Vuzevulas. Been a good WC you pack of whingers, with some good performances. If the Argentina game didn't impress you you are hard to please. If the Swiss win against the odds didn't impress you you are hard to please. The tournament has only just started. It will get even better.

We are third favourites (Skybet are only giving 5/1!) with most bookies so it's a target we should be aiming for but I reckon it may be too soon.

What do you want to happen to the Manager if he fails his targets for 2010/11? i.e. 4th place and the Final of the Milk Cup or whatever it's called now...

I'm merely asking the thread starter to confirm his realistic targets for next season. No different than was done in previous seasons.
