Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson says not one Premier League boss has called him to say 'good luck'. (Daily Mirror)

Poor old Sven.

How many have you called ? None, you've been too busy watching forein video's (oooer, Mrs).

It's because you're a prick !!

He wouldn't know who people like David Moyes and Chris Hutchins are anyway.

Probably the first man city game in the PL he has actually seen live. Thought he only ever went to see 5 teams play.

Early stages, of course, but some of those players did look pretty handy...

Aye. Take the p*** all you like but Sven knows what he's doing. All those new signings gelled well, unlike some teams.

Conversely Sammy Lee has had phone calls from everyone, even two from Mourinho.

It's one game. Which is why people shouldn't be too quick to judge a team's performance - good or bad. They may get rolled over by United next week and fall apart. We may stuff Fulham on Wednesday and then go on a 10-match unbeaten run.

Early days.

This is the guy who single-handedly got us knocked out the world cup. Twice....I wish him continued success at Manchester City.

Just wait until they become infected with COMitis.

Normally I'd say 'Sven out' at this point but I hope he reign is long, fruitless and disasterous.

Well I won't be shagging them so they should be ok.

Taking a half fit Rooney, a injury prone Owen and a kid he has no intention of playing to the World cup, only to have our main striker injured early, forcing him to play the half fit Rooney, who in turn did shag all.

Aye, fxcking great manager!!

Mclaren 's record as England boss won't touch Sven's.

And Sven's club record is pretty good.

League Titles in Sweden,

League Titles in Portugal

League Title in Italy

As well as cup wins

Which is a better record than 99.9% of managers

2 time Swedish Cup winner with Gothenburg, as well as a two time League Winner in, and UEFA Cup Winner in 1982 as well (that'd be a treble, he did that season, by the way). Portuguese League Champion with Benfica 3 times, as well as one Portuguese Cup and a European Cup runner-up in 1990. He's also a four time Copa Italia winning manager with 3 different sides (Roma, Sampdoria and then Lazio, with whom he won it twice). Add to that cup success with Lazio the Italian Super Cup, UEFA Cup Winners Cup, UEFA Super Cup and also Serie A, and I think you can look at a fairly sustained amount of domestic success, over 3 different countries in a 20 year period.

I'd call that reasonably 'pretty good', wouldn't you?
