Man City dont look like slipping up at the moment grinding out results against the big teams but i would like to think we have 2nd place secured now.

Thanks man the team is set for years really, will make a few defensive additions in the summer but i do think thats why we let in late goals having all the youngsters, a bit of fatigue/ concentration loss.

Good luck with your baby my missus just had our second in June! FM is the best game to play one handed with a baby in the other!

Half Time

Coutts had the best chance in the first half after a mere 3 minutes into the game, with Jeff Hendrick having the only other chance for Derby as Arsenal dominate possesion but lack the cutting edge.

Giroud Goal 68 mins!

Sagna crosses in from the wing to Lamela in the penalty area who has a fierce shot parried but only as far as Giroud who slots the ball into the back of the net.

Ramsey Goal 86 mins !

Ramsey scores a wonderfully struck solo effort from 35 yards just as Derby change to a more attacking style!

He came through for us big time after a stuttering start and was key to our success in all competitions.

Player of the Year - Laurent Koscielny

He had an amazing season with consistency being key for him as he dominated at the back for us after Mertesackers departure.

Young Player of the Year - Kyriakos Papadopoulos

With full backs struggling and looking on their way out it was the two key central defenders who helped us concede the least goals in the Premier League this season.

We went out in the Champions League to eventual winners FC Bayern but the most impressive display was Motherwell making the knockout stages!

Despite going out of the Champions League rather early Giroud comes second in the Golden Boot behind Lionel Messi.

If City dont have such an incredible season next year the league should be ours, and all of my side is only going to get better with most around 3 stars with potential of 4 and half, i want to bring in a backup striker a new left back and new right back.
