Is Roberto Mancini getting away with achieving the bare minimum at Manchester City? Is the future bright for German clubs in the Champions League? Will Stoke light up Europe next season? Here's what the posters on the Betfair football forum...
"There's no disputing that if Manchester City finish fifth the season, it will have been a disaster and he should be out of a job, but as long as we qualify for the Champions League then all should be well. Sometimes Roberto Mancini sets the team up to play defensively and ensure we get a point from a match, but the fact is that we are in the top four with our destiny still in our own hands. As long as that's how we finish ([1.41]) then it's job done." - DaveEdwards
"When these financial fair play rules kick in, only Arsenal will cope outside of Germany, and I guess Barcelona because of their awesome youth system. The rest, especially the debt-ridden English teams who heavily rely on foreign money and players, will fall like Audley Harrison! The Bundesliga sides will dominate the Champions League for years because their teams have steady finances." - PHILthePOWER
"I want to Stoke to play in Europe. Italian, German and Spanish teams will be blown out by Rory Delap's projectile throw-ins" - ocean0201
"The top three footballing sides in the world today are Barcelona, Norwich and Arsenal. I was gonna put us top but had to concede Barca just hold the edge at the moment!" - canaryboy
"(Sacking Boothroyd) is a disgraceful decision. Yes, we have been on a terrible run but Aidy has had no support from the board. He's kept his silence and dignity all season and he's been made a scapegoat for the lack of investment. We are the only club in the Championship not to have any loan players, and in fact actually loaned a promising local lad to Liverpool, after he played ONE game! I'm slowly running out of patience with my beloved club" - Coventry.No.1
"What a show from the Posh boys. Six goals and two missed penalties - in truth it could have been double figures - and a fourth successive clean sheet to boot. Fergie has got them playing some really good football and you can see the confidence in the side flowing through the team. The final automatic spot will go down to the final game with a few more twists on the way. I still think it's between Saints, Huddersfield and Posh and looking at the run in l still fancy the boys to do it ([2.62])." - Pongo waring
