Keiran Mckenna in the frame apparently 

I cannot see McKenna going to Brighton , there was a rumour going round United are sniffing , whether that is the manager or assistant , I don't know . Suspect he will stay at Ipswich for next season ..

If Kompany gets offered the Brighton job , he will be off like a shot !

They were on about it on Talksport, strong rumour apparently, but must admit it did seem odd.

How can you spend £150m, get your team relegated in embarrassing fashion and get a promotion?

What a charmed life he leads.

Just scrap it all. I can accept human error but not when using technology which is happening more and more. 

Also I see Webb is looking to bring ex pros into referee games as match officials 

I’m not sure you can accept human error, it feels most times we lose you blame the officials

McKenna or Kompany ? Give me a mili second to think about that one.

I wouldn't be surprise if Brighton went for either

I can't accept human error when these officials have VAR and still don't make the right decision. Even Klopp has said get rid of VAR cos we don't use it right, fans are fed up with lack of communication within the stadium and how long these decisions take to actual decision. 

My problem is the level of competence Referees have at Championship level and how they can't make simple and clear decisions. One of the best referee we had at this level was Australian Jarred Gillett now in the PL ref

My Sunday paper always does an “ end of the season fans review “ of the season on the last day of the season. 
The Luton fan has this to say - “ Thomas Kaminski in goal has been exceptional “. . The Crystal Palace fan has this to say - “ Wharton’s signing at £18 million was the bargain of the decade “.

Martin Ødegaard for £30m million is also one of those bargains. Wharton is probably one the best signings of this season

Just got back from watching the rugby league. One of the women  who sits with us is a season ticket holder at City. She gave her dad her season ticket and came watching the rugby league today.

They really need to start banning fans that rush onto the pitch.

The City players have had to run to the changing rooms at full time.

Imagine being that blase about a title win - utterly spoiled fans (and I'm incredibly jealous).

It’s going to be a great final. I wouldn’t like to call it but Wigan usually find a way to win the big games.

Manchester 'Mechanical' City.

[Mike E]

There’s no magic to teams like City.

Rovers. Ranieri’s Leicester. Fergie’s Utd. Wenger’s Arsenal. Mourinho at Chelsea. Klopp’s Liverpool. Even Mancini’s City. All had real personalities about their teams, playing beautiful football in different ways. And all were beatable, so no matter how good they were they had to earn their wins.

Pep’s City are more like Football Manager FC, bought all the best players in each position and then press ‘simulate season’. Boring.

Still 115 allegations pending......

[Darrenbot]

The one good thing about City winning it is we dont have to put up with knobhead Piers Morgan celebrating an Arsenal win.

Really? 

Pep Guardiola is great coach and very good at getting his players to play their roles and understand what he wants from him. I would say Man City great attacking football but want to control the game by keeping possession of the ball. Pep admitted this week that he didn't even know who Ortega was before they were after signing him but what a brilliant second choice keeper who City sign him on a free transfer 

I also wouldn't sign all the best players either. Would you say that Ake, Akanji, Rodri were the best players in their position? Look at the development of players under his stewardship like Foden and the different roles he played under him

[Norbert Rassragr]

Man City are good to watch when they're on form, but I have no love for them. Nondescript new stadium, a new generation of spoiled fans who have no idea about the time they were in League 1 or a really mediocre Premier League team in the 1990s.......

Just a bit soulless, as some sports washers do their thing.

Got to hand it to pep, great coach. He came into a squad which was already the best in the league and spent just £60-100m on each position and voila - 4 league titles in a row.
