May 10, 201115 yr I remember telling somebody they could quote me on the fact that Tootenham wouldn't make Champions League. Can't remember who :thinking: Wasn't this only quite recently to be fair? I think it was Navegador and I think City were at least 3 points ahead of Spurs.
May 10, 201115 yr Oh yeah, it was an easy call, but I take what I can get on one-up-man-ship nowadays :awesome:

May 12, 201115 yr Let's be 'avin' you (Part II): Delia delivers new rant at football crowd after champagne reception By Andrew Levy Last updated at 9:42 PM on 11th May 2011 Comments (25) Add to My Stories Share Going up: Delia Smith saluted Norwich City's promotion to the Premier League in giggly fashion today Six years after a well-refreshed Delia Smith ranted ‘Let’s be ’avin’ you’ at football fans, she has delivered an action replay. Addressing a crowd of 40,000 celebrating Norwich City’s promotion, she broke into chants, giggled, tripped over her words, mispronounced the manager’s name and swore. Delia, 69, the majority shareholder in the club, had attended a champagne reception at the City Hall before heading out on to the balcony with husband Michael Wynn Jones and other club directors. She was handed a microphone and started chanting ‘Come on, let’s be ’avin’ you’ – recreating her 2005 half-time address after the team had squandered a 2-0 lead. The multi-millionairess cookery queen started chuckling as her husband commented: ‘Anyone would think she’d invented the bloody phrase.’ She went on to call Norwich manager Paul Langbert, instead of Lambert, mistakenly called on the fans to toast ‘staying up’ instead of celebrating promotion to the Premier League, and used an expletive which had some parents reaching to cover their children’s ears. ‘Just think of this wonderful thing,’ she said. ‘We haven’t gotta go in the fr**ging play-offs next year.’ A presenter on BBC Radio Norfolk, which was broadcasting the event live, said: ‘Delia Smith, Another added: ‘I think this is as good a place as any to leave it, don’t you?’ Rousing rendition: Delia Smith led supporters of Norwich City in her infamous chant 'Let's be havin you' after the club were promoted to the Premiership The emotional outpouring happened shortly after dignitaries including the city’s Lord Mayor had left the balcony.

Going down: She tries to stir the fans with an infamous half-time message A witness said: ‘It was all a bit cringeworthy. ‘She was holding the microphone at a funny angle like she thought she was a pop singer. ‘I think she feels she has to fit in with the “football crowd”. Everyone was relieved when it came to an end.’ A club spokesman refused to say whether Delia had been drinking. However, she is known to like a tipple and once admitted on her website that she would never be a ‘one-glass’ girl. Her 2005 rant came after Manchester City managed to draw level after 45 minutes despite having gone 2-0 down. She grabbed a microphone from the club announcer and shouted: ‘A message for the best football supporters in the world. We need a 12th man here. Where are you? Where are you? Let’s be ’avin’ you. Come on.’ Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1385919/Delia-Smith-mispronounces-Norwich-City-managers-promotion-celebration.html#ixzz1MACjbQaZ
May 12, 201115 yr Man City to draw Bayern Munich in the play-off round and get absolutely destroyed. Come on Stoke!
May 12, 201115 yr I wouldn't mind Swansea or Cardiff getting into the Premiership. Burnley have been in, so it's already been tainted.
May 12, 201115 yr I'd like to see Bellamy join Cardiff and play in the Prem again. But Swansea would be my choice. Ian, what do you think the mood will be like in Manchester on Saturday if the win the league? I'm supposed to be going out there but I don't wanna get caught up in anything.
May 12, 201115 yr http://mcfc.co.uk/News/FA-Cup-countdown/2011/May/Bluffers-guide-to-City How embarrassing.
May 12, 201115 yr I'd like to see Bellamy join Cardiff and play in the Prem again. But Swansea would be my choice. Either team would come straight back down again, so it doesn't really matter at the end of the day.

May 13, 201115 yr Man City will win. They aren't going to take it for granted due to Stokes good form and are more likely to be able to handle their style of play in comparison to Arsenal.
May 13, 201115 yr Ian, what do you think the mood will be like in Manchester on Saturday if the win the league? I'm supposed to be going out there but I don't wanna get caught up in anything.thats an interesting one. There'll either be plenty of Utd fans out celebrating a title win, or a Stoke win, or both. Or if they win the title and the FA Cup goes to City, come late saturday evening when they're all back from Wembley the streets might turn nasty! Whatever happens, the pubs will be full of Utd fans from lunchtime until early evening getting trolleyed over two games.
May 13, 201115 yr I forgot the final was on the same day too. Ridiculous. They complain about managers taking the magic out of the cup and then the schedulers do a thing like that. Yeah, that will make things even tastier I'd imagine. I think I'm gonna go though.
May 13, 201115 yr Thinking more closely about it, there may well be problems around 2pm ish, as City fans without tickets find places to watch the final about the same time as Man Utd either win the title or get beat. I'm only speculating on trouble but even if there isn't I doubt there will be much security on by then!
