Nult satis nisi optimum: Phil McNulty 2011/12

ilxor jim will have had positive memories of a brief spell spent in the environs of Alicante in the early 2000s, although it would have not have come as a shock to the Glaswegian that the holiday romance he undertook with a girl from Gravesend would not endure

The Manchester City job appears to have had Guardiola's name on it for years - with the pieces seemingly put in place for his arrival at the Etihad.

All it needed was the nod from Guardiola himself and that seems to have moved closer with his decision to leave Bayern Munich at the end of this season. The Premier League looks certain to be his next stop.

Begiristain and Soriano are already in place and ready to welcome the man they worked with to bring such success to Barcelona. Guardiola's arrival would complete the managerial infrastructure you suspect has been the long-held dream to match the fierce ambition of City's Abu Dhabi owners.

Guardiola may yet be diverted off course by offers from elsewhere - perhaps Manchester United or even Chelsea - but all the smart money is on that dream ticket finally being in place at the Etihad at the start of next season.

The pieces of Wenger's jigsaw look to be coming together but they must now fight off what has often been their fiercest enemy - themselves. Too often Arsenal have been the team that cannot be trusted when the pressure is on.
Can they change that habit of a recent lifetime?

once someone talks about a concept or a "managerial job" or a "nod" actually physically doing something, this is the language of bad politics. incredible that in something as clearcut as sport, nult still finds a way to talk about these ephemeral notions as the subject.

Aye the man's a menace.

"that habit of a recent lifetime"

is pretty incredible

Where Martinez sees blue sky, supporters study the reality of results (especially the humiliation of a derby thrashing) and look at thunderclouds overhead, although even he will struggle to see the sun poking through today.

think he's become self-aware, my question will have been evaded

where is yours? there are only a handful of questions, I'm feeling confident of first contact here

the questions are amassing beneath a live feed, you're in the wrong window

HAHAHAHHAA YES

7-second furrowing of brow as mcnulty fails to make head or tail of my fake facebook name

but then 'a question on tom heaton - will tom heaton have known he would be in this squad a year ago'

i actually can't believe you got him to read out that question. brilliant.

"will tom heaton have known he would be in this squad a year ago'"

*much furrowed brow*

"i think what you mean there is will tom heaton have expected to be in the squad"

yes it is indeed confusing when someone mangles their tenses.

Leave it to the professionals.

looool @ that last picture

also ty garda happy to have my little moment enshrined in jpg form

i like to think he pondered his life and its meaning in that lonely 7-second pause.

i felt a bit sorry for him tbh when i opened the thread and there was like 1000 people saying "vardy and kane up front?" or "rooney past it surely?" or "you boring old cunt!"

i actually can't believe you got him to read out that question. brilliant.

another great blogfill

And what sort of message did it send out to United's owners the Glazers who, while detached, will have followed his every word? It could have been the opening line of a resignation speech. Hardly stuff fit for the 'theatre of dreams'.

Ferguson loves horse-racing - so he will have known he was taking a gamble by allowing one of Old Trafford's thoroughbreds to leave and join a stable that could arguably be regarded as United's biggest European rival.
