Realistic ambitions of capturing the English Premier League title were extinguished way before then. Pep Guardiola's last hope of winning silverware in his first season at Manchester City rests with the FA Cup. "They will not be happy," Guardiola said on Friday of City's owners from Abu Dhabi. Last season, under Manuel Pellegrini, the team reached the semifinals of the Champions League, won the English League Cup, and achieved a top-four finish in the Premier League. Guardiola is happy with the progress City is making, whether or not the team wins the FA Cup.
