Pellegrini's send off. He could have done better but he still won them a league and took them to the semis. Its not his fault that Shitty announced Pep as their coach so soon.

Living in UK for almost 6 years now, having watched a number of Premier League matches, and having grown up with Serie A, I was never able to understand or connect with this "product" called Premier League. People asking me, "but you live in London, how can you not be supporting an English team?" and me being like, "I just don't get it, I don't feel it"...
Till this year with Leicester. Unity. Team spirit. Determination. And a little bit of a romantic anarchism and a big fuck you to the big spenders. Kind of what Juve always stood for. Kind of what we saw in the 2004 Euro. But this time way bigger. Against the richest and very arrogant big boys of Premier League.
I found this one today, which is quite touching:
Cause at the end of the day, that's why 20-odd years ago we fell in love with this sport...

Found this nice post from a City fan:
"I'm a Man City fan. I've been one for over 30 years; was going in the third tier and am still going now. I'm extremely concerned with how our fanbase is changing.
And to stop the lazy stereotypes before they start, this isn't a tourist/gloryhunters thing. This is happening to people who were also in the third tier.
I think we're suffering from what is the real hangover from the takeover. Since 2008, we have bought our way to the top and failure was never punished. Because we didn't grow organically, we didn't fail. All we did was succeed the whole time.
Due to this, our fanbase has now become absolutely ridiculously entitled. Some people are saying that finishing 5th would be "a disaster", that the manager was "a fraud" and the players "shit".
To put this into context, finishing 5th would represent the joint 6th highest ever finish in the history of the Premier League for City.
"a disaster"..
What we're seeing now is a lesson to all of you rich parents out there. If you give your children everything they want when they're growing up, as soon as something doesn't go their way they turn into spoilt brats.
Over the past several months I've become more and more ashamed of our fanbase; something that I could have never envisaged myself ever saying in my lifetime. Our fanbase were why I felt so connected to City and to see this evolve into spoilt children throwing their toys out of the pram at our 6th highest ever finish is deeply disappointing."
