Imagine if Moyes comes in and starts winning a host of trophies...I genuinely can't see how he will stick around after this.
After all that "5 years 5 trophies talk"
There's no way they'll keep him...I'm more interested to see who they'll bring in his place...

idk why either. they even wrote an article about itCity
I don't know how any of you guys can argue that the EPL is still the best league in the world. What Arsenal, City, and Liverpool have done in the champions league is straight pathetic.
Late to the party and I missed two goals already!
Jese's too busy getting featured in music videosOnly game i caught was Real vs Pool.
Marcelo was wreaking havoc down the wing. I thought Real dominated the game and honestly should have had more goals. Bale has to finish that. I thought Ronnie could have done better on the chance he cut back to his right foot that was blocked by Toure. They had a few close free kicks that were not taken very well (CR7 and Bale). Ronaldo just didn't look himself for a lot of the game. Kroos was very impressive. I don't get to watch Real a lot but he was controlling the pace of the game and making all the right passes. Meanwhile....Modric was doing everything else . Dude epitomizes the word industrious.
When ronaldo is on and you have James-Bale-Ronaldo-Benz-Kroos....good lord that attack.
Let's not forget Jese' is coming back soon
you guys lost to Sporting in the league not so long agoSee some of you lames next round, as for those who'll be staying at home on Tuesdays & Wednesdays............LOL

Has Ryan Gauld been getting playing time? He's been a highly regarded young Scottish talent.Nope, that was in the Portuguese Cup not the league. Have yet to lose a league game. Speaking of Sporting, they beat Shalke 4-2 today, good for them.

Why does it seem like everyone hates City?
I just looked it up, he's playing with the B team. He's still only 18, got plenty of time.Has Ryan Gauld been getting playing time? He's been a highly regarded young Scottish talent.
No idea, didn't even know their was a Scottish player playing in Portugal. Much less a prized one.
English clubs are once more struggling abroad this season and it can no longer be described as the greatest league in the world.
The self-proclaimed title of the ‘best league in the world’ has faded from the Premier League lexicon over the last few years.
After all, it would be a hard label to justify following the all-Spanish Champions League final and the all-German final for Europe’s top prize in 2013.
Instead, people chose to talk to English football’s competitiveness and entertainment factor rather than its quality because the days of the Premier League’s dominance in Europe are long gone.
Between 2005 and 2009, England produced finalists every year in the Champions League. Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all reached the final hurdle and twice Premier League sides conquered Europe.
English clubs remained competitive for a few more years, with United reaching the final in 2011 and Chelsea winning the Champions League in 2012.
Since then though, only one team – Chelsea last season – has even made it as far as the semifinals of the competition.
The drop in quality of English teams has been most marked in Manchester City’s performances. Having qualified from its group just once in three attempts, the Premier League champion is again staring down the barrel of an early exit.

City is supposed to represent the best England has to offer, yet the club has just two points from its first three games in its latest Champions League campaign and manager Manuel Pellegrini has acknowledged that it needs to win all of its remaining games, starting at home to CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.
Arsenal’s defeat away at Dortmund highlighted the Gunners’ usual weaknesses against high-quality European opposition and its Champions League campaigns have been played on repeat in recent seasons. We know how it ends – Arsene Wenger’s team will be knocked out early in the knockout stages as soon as it comes up against a leading side.
Liverpool, back in the Champions League for the first time since the 2009-10 season, is fighting to make sure its return is not short lived. With just three points from its first three matches and an away fixture at Real Madrid next, the club's chances are likely to hinge on its final group match at home against Basel in December.
Chelsea is the only side that has not struggled so far, and last season’s semifinalists will fancy its chances of going far in the competition again - although winning the Premier League has become the priority for Jose Mourinho.
Even then, the Blues – so dominant domestically in the early part of the season – could only draw at home with a struggling Schalke side in their Group G opener.
The Premier League simply isn’t that strong anymore. The World Cup winners and Champions League winners – the best players on the planet – are based in Spain or Germany. The last two players of the year in England are now playing for Real Madrid and Barcelona.
In 2009, the Premier League accounted for three of the four Champions League semifinalists; but it will be a long time before that happens again.
While five Premier League players are on this year’s 23-man Ballon d’Or shortlist, three of them – Angel Di Maria, Diego Costa and Thibaut Courtois – are there because of their achievements with Spanish clubs last season.
When the Champions League was first introduced in 1992, English clubs were seen as complete no-hopers with no chance of winning the competition for several years.
The financial muscle of the Premier League means that won’t happen again. But the decline on the big stage is there for all to see.
A flexible schedule and lots of caffeine!I don't know how you do it but I just got to hk Sunday night and I was hoping to catch some champions league but it's in the middle of the damn night. Slept right through the alarm.
Can you recommend some soccer shops? Looking for stuff that's like a year or two old. I'm assuming if I just walk around mong kok I'll see a bunch of places but do you have a go to spot? I'm here for work so I haven't really walked around too much yet. Staying in tst Nathan rd and I already went to futbol trend in isquare.

He's done in my eyes, thing is his job would have been so much safer if he just got to the knockout round.
Didn't he also say tho that he thinks Man City can win the champions league in these upcoming years? Does he smoke dust?
