Strange logic. They manage to win most things which means they score enough of their chances surely.

I can see United cracking up knowing the goal difference is out of reach and one slip up now before the city game would be huge
Oh fuck I forgot rovers were playing today

Damn big win for City. Momentum is key in title races and we handed it back to them on Wednesday. Won't catch that GD now so we can't afford any slip ups if City are to beat us (which I think they will!). Gonna be nervous tmrw.
Even if it is, whatever it is, it's been good enough over the last 3 years to dominate world football.
Maybe its different for me because my club has won leagues recently, but yes. He'd be getting paid whether or not he plays.
If City win the title directly because of Tevez, I don't think I'd be able to look at it without thinking its with an absolutely spineless manager in charge and a player who epitomises the mercenary attitude that the club has.
Carroll has really cleaned up his act apparently. He shies away from the camera, always comes across as nice and level headed when he's on it, and he does indeed work very hard for the team.
Two goals this week for him, and he didn't look bad out there at all. He could well be a part of our team in the coming years.
While I think the Tevez situation looked awful from the outside, this post looks like only one thing to me:

Oh, you guy's must have missed Kyoufu's bit? He say's "We'll buy '______' for 50 million"? Just go back through the thread, you'll probably figure out his list of 20.
Aguero.
Rooney.
ClevGod.
Scholes.
Valencia.
Chicha.
Carrick.
Mata.
RVP.
Wilshere.
Cabaye.
Cisse.
Ba.
Oxlade Chamberlain.
Modric.
Bale.
Parker.
Drogba.
Sessegnon.
VdV.
Even if City don't get the title, Tevez has showed what a player he is. I don't think there's much risk of what you say happening. The squad loves him (for some reason).
I would agree if Tevez returned and was shit, then it would create shit feelings. But Dzeko & CO now sees what a great player he actually is. I mean, Tevez acting has resulted in City selling him. Everyone knows he's off. It's punishment in a way.
Dzeko must stop complaining and play well. I don't see any other player disliking this, for some reason they all seem to adore Tevez.
I mean, he's a cunt. But he'll be off this summer. Dzeko knows he won't get as high salary in other clubs, so he can't act like Tevez.
The last few games will be interesting.

Holy fuck what a strike by Farfan!

Stopped reading at that point.
This is all he does. The odd goal as sub. He's completely shit from the start. He has never performed well from the start.
He's fantastic when the opposition is run tired.

This. Jesus christ, give me £40k a week when I was 18/19 and the things I'd do would make Carroll look like a boy scout.
He's clearly matured since moving to us.
I doubt anyone care how City won it. A title is a title. Mancini, spineless or not, would be a winner.
Of course other fans would call him all kinds of insults. But they would anyway, no matter what happened.
Fixed. I'm sorry but what manager in his right mind would trade a 25 year old world class striker for a 30 year old midfielder, an overrated child, a pouty, unreliable Dutchman, etc.?
A few close calls like Mata, but even then.. Nah. Not over Suarez.

This match will be a complete shitstorm. Hopefully we can defend for the full 90 minutes.

May be true but the biggest problem has to be how the manager is undermined. Mancini will do damn well to have total respect of his players when he's already shown that he can basically be bullied by one of them.
Anyway I like Mancini so I hope it works out for him, just not at City!

Back when we played for Newcastle reserves he went out with a friend of mine. Total piece of shit. Cheated on her with underage girls I knew etc etc. Her Dad fucking hated him, they got in a physical fight one time...Big Andy came off worse.
She took a photo once when he was giving her head, that was good for a laugh haha! Seen him in the casino at Newcastle aswell, so pissed he couldn't sit on his chair, abusing the staff etc. He's a piece of shit.
Well, Kenny's not.
I did pick mostly advanced players, to my credit.
And rofl at world class striker. He wouldn't have got near a goal today if not for a career-defining cock up.

I see Salazar has successfully trolled :lol

But was Mancini really bullied? Tevez lost £9m in salaries.
I wouldn't call Mancini spineless. He had no choice. No club wanted Tevez in January, and it would be a retarded decision business wise to let him rot when he returned.
His biggest fault was the interview where he said Tevez would never play again. It was just one of his many stupid statements he has done. Like when he resigned for Inter straight after a CL match.
1 Robin van Persie
2 Wayne Rooney
3 Sergio Agüero
4 Clint Dempsey
5 Yakubu Aiyegbeni
6 Demba Ba
7 Edin Dzeko
8 Mario Balotelli
9 Emmanuel Adebayor
10 Grant Holt
11 Papiss Cisse
12 Hatem Ben Arfa
13 Carlos Tevez
14 Gareth Bale
15 Javier Hernandez
16 Theo Walcott
17 Rafael Van der Vaart
18 Daniel Sturridge
19 Vincent Kompany
20 Juan Mata
and that's just a rough list.
Who? I think it has been pretty clear that both me and dc think he's a bastard, but that Mancini has no choice but to play him since we both want the league title.
Screaming "Tevez!!" when he scores doesn't mean we're on his dick.
What the fuck are you rofling about? For a self-declared "lit guy," you seem confused about two simple words.
And most of those are laughable. Come the fuck on with this shit. You're pathetic.
Keep it coming haters, I'll be here all night.
For a year I was wildly indifferent to him. He fucked me off a lot and three days later it was over. For a year and a half now he's been fine.
Tevez has been away for half a year, repeatedly disrespected the manager, the club, the fans... It's different. Similar circumstances but you can't deny they're different.

This pointless discussion aside. I think we are about to get shattered tomorrow by ManU especially with the ManC performance that just occurred.
especially with the ManC performance that just occurred.What happened? They didn't show it here.
Who wouldn't you swap for? I don't find any player listed there as "pathetic" unless you think the likes of RVP, Aguero and Cisse are pathetic/laughable.

Threads about to get messy.
Rooney and Tevez situations are comparable but a few key differences. That said its obv why City fans love him again, they need wins he's got them a win. Simple as that really. In the summer when he goes this will be a moment of weakess like when you drift back to your ex on a desperate night.
Kyoufu's list is amazing. 3 pages out of that alone.

To be fair with Rooney you never know what will happen.
It's mainly just this list..

Why not use the top goal scorers from last season too?
