"Report card: Manchester City"

On-pitch moment of the season

The first half against Newcastle United was, quite conceivably, the best football witnessed by City's fans since the 1970s

Off-pitch moment of the season

Sometimes there is no more beautiful sound than silence. That was the case at Old Trafford on February 6 as City's followers joined Manchester United's crowd in marking the Munich tragedy

Player who must not to be sold

Micah Richards

Greatest goal

Elano against Newcastle (see above).

Most embarrassing moment

Shipping eight goals against a Middlesbrough side with one of the most sterile attacks in the league

Effect of manager's shopping

There have been successes - Vedran Corluka, Martin Petrov and, pre-Christmas, Elano - but there have been as many flops, particularly in attack where Rolando Bianchi, Nery Castillo, Valeri Bojinov et al have struggled

The season in five words

Unique, Sven, bittersweet, Thailand, political

Five-point action plan for the summer

Put Sven-Goran Eriksson out of his misery; find replacement who can stop the fans feeling so aggrieved; make it clear City's current chaos does not make them a selling club; buy at least two more strikers; restore feelgood factor

Bloody harsh on poor Bojinov, though!

These are the cries of the carrots.

Very.

Did the hack realise Bon Jovi left his knee on the grass at COMS 5 minutes into the derby?

he's a journalist - can't expect them to be 100% about anything

Aguero

Poor lad. Them crutches must have really affected his performances.

Are crutches considered an extension of the arm because that would be a potential handball nightmare.

My thoughts exactly. Just goes to show journo's know fuck all about any club outside of the "big 4"TM.

Manchester City - No longer a "hole-in-the-sock" sort of club.

When Chelsea won the league with only a single defeat all season, Dublin's Evening Herald sometimes stated that they were beaten by "Manchester United".
