We're defo not special, it's just the false equivocation which makes me laugh.
To be fair people haven't praised City to the heavens for last season... but Chelsea and Arsenal have had mucho praise when they've won in the past.
Nope. He adapted and got his tactics right after half time and we created a few chances but he's been let down by some fucking abysmal play by his team out there. The second goal is a complete joke. We need Vlaar back for at least some defensive experience in organisation. Then some actual quality in midfield. We are incredibly weak and without talent there.

But that's natural isn't it? You would be happier seeing Atletico or Malaga win La Liga than Barca or Madrid too.
Doesn't mean you are salty. Just looking for something different.
I don't follow the moronic City fans on Twitter who called for Mancini's head after we got knocked out of the CL last year.
But some of the ones I do follow who are generally well grounded have said Mancini may be running out of time. What does GAF think?
Our bogey grounds are Sunderland, Everton and Stoke. He's yet to win at any of those grounds.

Will your owner spend in January? Lots of empty seats at home and at this rate it might be a trip to the lower league for both of us if we don't spend.

True.
Anyways, our football isn't amazing but at least our matches are exciting. Last two seasons were getting a bit too dull.
How amazing is RVP? I mean I knew he was great but he's better than I ever though he'd be. His touch and control of the ball is just magical.
There's a difference between rathering someone else won the league and posts that imply that we don't deserve to be top.
I think he needs to go. For how good City could potentially be, they need a top tier manager. Mancini's like third or fourth tier.
I remember I kept hectoring on about how he was the last thing we needed and how I sort of wished he'd go to City and leech off their wage bill because it would be 'funny'.
Yeah.

For how much you've spent he hasn't done a good enough job. You shouldn't be as far behind as you are now. Having said that, imagine how different things could be if RVP had not turned you down this summer.
A team with aspirations for Europe, never mind the league, could be doing do much better than Mancini.

Yeah, we certainly have been in some exciting games. 48 goals already, and we must have let in near 30. Great stuff.
I completely agree with you over RVP, I'm completely eating crow over him. I thought we needed a good stocky midfielder to give us some muscle but our tactics seem to be out score everyone, and RVP's doing a nice job of helping :lol
But you're right, some of his passes and shimmies into space are magnificent. It's great watching him receive the ball out wide and watching where he takes the ball, how he keeps it, how he distributes it. Wonderful player.
To be fair to Mancini he has won 3 things in 3 seasons including the league. Not bad for a club which didn't win anything for 30 odd years. I forget the exact number seeing as the banner on the Stretford End is no longer there to remind me.
So yeah, he's achieved good things for the club. But I don't know if he can take us forward now.
But to be fair, our summer buys are mediocre save Nastasic. But United signed RVP and Chelsea, Hazard.

After last summer, everyone here knows who Debuchy is
not a fan of international football. only reason i watch mexico is to rant on how overrated chicharito is.
Your money won you those trophies. He's a competent manager given the opportunity of a lifetime.

Almost as big an achievement as when you had 32k in division 2.
Come on now.

I meant after the summer transfer saga with Debuchy and Newcastle. My tears spread knowledge of his existence.
Alice In Wonderland is the only movie I've ever fallen asleep during. So bad. And the 3D ticket cost loads.

In effect, that club doesn't exist anymore.
Great result and goals tonight but I just hope Dembele hasn't done his hip again. I suppose with Parker back it's not a disaster but we can't afford to lose our top players to injury. Too many have already missed the first half of the season.

Yeah Alice in Wonderland was pants.
I wanna see Oz though, mainly cos of James Franco.

You have to stop hyping up Debuchy.

Pretty odd that on the Guardians top 100 Xavi is ahead of Iniesta(3rd and 4th).
Surely in the last year Iniesta has been better. Xavi has slowed down a bit it seems.

If I were a betting man I'd bet on a Suarez red today. I'm feeling it.

lol Sandro and Parker midfield would see us slip down the table rapidly. Kyle Naughton was surprisingly good today, and Sigurdsson has played well coming off the bench recently.
I expect Liverpool to win today. Stoke can't defend as well as they have done for the rest of the season.
