Yeah because you need Ronaldo to beat ***in Basil

Sour g****s is when you attempt to diminish the worth of something you failed to attain by saying that you didn't want that thing anyway. For example on being knocked out of the, say, Carling Cup, saying that it was a "bum trophy". Or even by claiming that you're alright with the board hoarding all of the absurdly priced ticket money and transfer profits for themselves because "you wouldn't want to win anything by spending money anyway".

Saying that I'm disappointed with exiting the competition but trying to make the best of the situation is not sour g****s.

Unless the Aesop's fable of sour g****s ended with the fox saying "Oh and I really wanted those g****s as well, they looked well nice. Oh well, I'll have an orange instead."

Dirk sure talks a lot of crap for a team that will win absolute **** all this season.

Again.

It's also heartening that City managed to get the same or better points totals than half the qualifiers for the knockout stages. In fact out of the 16 qualifiers City had better points and/or goal difference than 7 of them.

wow 4 players? 4 players in a starting 11 is quite a high number.

You serious,

Ronaldo,Tevez , Scholes and Van Der Sar is a dramatic improvement to most teams.

There is a hell of a difference to the team that played last night, they wouldnt have lost last night.

Ronaldo was a huge loss.

Van Der Sar was a big loss.
Scholes & Tevez were big-ish losses.


We shouldn't need Ronaldo to get a win over Basel, even though he is single handedly capable of doing so. I can't see how you think the difference is so big? We were at a turning point back then, we needed more players and Fergie just hasn't brought in enough to make up for the losses.

If Tevez was still here he'd be fighting for a place against Rooney, Hernandez, Berbatov and Welbeck. We don't need Tevez. Van Der Sar is a big loss, but De Gea is an adequate replacement. Scholes is probably the biggest loss after Ronaldo purely because of where he played. Our midfield is so weak, we lack any depth at all.

Is this you when Van Persie leaves in January?

[KESSLER]

Not sure if this has been posted or not. But overall a pretty cool video.

It wont be to City.

Pretty sure he wants Champions League Football.
