People can slag us off all the want but its prob the first time since i have been alive that we have finished above them. This is just the start for me. I think its only the 2nd time in 40 years or so that we have done this. I just could not have imagined this 5 years ago.
Next year we have to look at over taking that other bunch of red twats from across the way. God its great to blue!!!

This might sound strange to you Mancs (and Brits), but my kid brother is as a fanatic Pool fan as I am City fan (or almost at least). I really enjoy beating him for the first time since I don't know when. The only set back is that I can't call him a band waggoner anymore

In 35 years I've never know it to happen - can someone quickly confirm the last occasion it did? If we just fall short of fourth, then fifth and finishing above Liverpool will be some consolation. We know where we are going from here, but what's in store for them? I've never had a big problem with Liverpool (they bored me in the eighties, but I cheered their Champions' League win in 2005), but their (temporary?) demise will make it just that little bit easier for City to take a permanent Top 4 slot.

If you count league position we did.

I'd still feel better about twisting the knife if we had four points from them this season.

So would I, but a fact is a fact. We've been better than them this season.

not only are we finishing above Pool, but we will also qualify for a European Competition via league position for the first time since Peter Barnes was playing in the Under 21's.......

Did we not do that under Peter Reid? Mind you, that was before the Champions' League bloated everything, so you may be correct.

Nope.. we finished 5th for two seasons running under Reidy in 1990 and 1991 but in those days that wasn't good enough for Europe as that was when Champions actually played other Champions!

If I remember rightly, we may possibly have played in the UEFA Cup then by being 5th but those scummy, thieving, murdering, scouse twats had already got all the English clubs banned from Europe. The damage those wankers did to the game in this country was immesurable, yet everyone kisses their arses. Horrible.
Great to finish above them again after all those years.

Good point Ted, the Heysel ban was lifted in the 1990-91 season but if I remember rightly only the Top 3 teams finished in Europe in those days so we wouldn't have anyway.

Really? Well it was probably still their fault anyway because surely it was only limited to 3 clubs BECAUSE of the previous ban, as no English clubs had won it for years so we didn't merit more than the minimum 3 places? There was also the Cupwinners cup which would usually mean an extra place as the FA Cup winners are often top 5.
