As a Man City fan, I was sure you guys would finally win it. It's as if our managers don't really want to win the PL. Pellegrini and Wenger's stubbornness is an important reason for Leicester and Spurs to lead the table.


Thanks. For what it's worth, don't know what's happened to Man City this season, you were probably missing Aguero early on, but you have enough quality in your squad it should've been easy enough to adapt. What changes do you want Pellegrini to make next season?


I guess you don't follow the EPL closely. Pellegrini announced that he was leaving at the original date his contract ended (end of this season), thereby forcing the club to pre-emptively announce Pep Guardiola.

The reason we lost key ties against West Ham, Spurs and Liverpool was fielding players that are defensive liabilities vs. defensively sound ones – Kolarov and Yaya rather than Clichy and Fernando. He also didn't adapt to the game and stuck with his gameplan so there weren't any comebacks in the league. Surprisingly we came back more than twice in our CL campaign, against Sevilla and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Yeah, I only really follow Arsenal's games and get bits of other news here and there, but I knew about Aguero being injured as I play fantasy football as well, and he's been doing me proud since he returned from injury. ;-) That said, now that you mention Pep Guardiola it does ring a bell. Has Pellegrini announced who he's managing next? Speaking of managers, I'm gutted that Mourinho may be coming back to the EPL, not a fan of the way he winds people up.
