OK, if it makes you feel better, when was your first game?

As for everything else, I am in agreement with you, but it was the nuance of how you post begged the question of support.

Over 60 years ago towards the end of the 60/61 season - Haven't got a clue who we were playing, but it was raining and I remember being perched on a barrier, surrounded by old blokes smoking pipes and moaning...

I must admit to feeling quite smug about your reference to the 'nuance' of my posts - I always thought I was just an awkward FOC. 'Nuance' makes me sound quite exotic

;-)

I'm just a JCL in comparison, I was there though before England won the WC :)

I've just searched on your user name and "Mancini" and it was hilarious, although quite saddening in lots of ways to see the pure and unadulterated blind adoration you had for him and then your distress when he got find out.

This one's a good one and perfect for this thread. I don't recall ever seeing so much delusion and misjudgement crammed into one single conversation.

Another Guardiola Rumour - The Sun.

my opinion on this is that pep is signing for bayern for 3 years then after them 3 years he will go to united. My opinion is that he'll fail to achieve anything of any note at Bayern and will be back at Barcelona before you know it. Thank God he didn't 'choose' to come to us.... Overrated...

Not wishing to offend you David, but it seems a bit OCD to go searching through historical posts. I've noticed that you do this a lot when people disagree with you. Do you suffer from autism? If so, I'm sorry for pushing your buttons.

Love Mancini as much as the next blue but there seems to be a disconnect when bigging him up for building a title winning team but no mention at all of him imploding and having many of said team turn on him.

Non of the Mancini fan boys will have a reply to this. I don’t want to play down what Mancini did for us, but the season after our title win we still had the best squad in the league by a country mile and we failed in every competition we entered. Pretty poor title defence, knocked out the group stages of the champions league, embarrassing defeat to Wigan in the Fa Cup final and the players fighting amongst each other. It was a bad season and it was definitely time for him to go.

I see people go on about the signing of Van Persie won United the league, but we had Balotelli, Dzeko, Sergio and Tevez to fall back on. Hardly struggling for options.

In a nutshell,it started good,became brilliant,and ended very badly.

But what a ride!

Bobby's only real 'fault' was tolerating Mario for too long. Thank God he did though; if Mario hadn't passed to Sergio (for the first time ever) we wouldn'thave won the league!

No,Mancini had plenty of faults,from Balotelli to Tevez to the club physio's and everyone in between.He was a disaster by the time we got rid,but despite you claiming not be a 'brown nose' i think your love for him clouds your memory a tad ;-)

Never done it before but I definitely will again because it was great fun.

You fucking LOVED him, didn't you? It's actually quite touching at times. It appears to me from your comments on this thread that your heart is very much still broken from your loss and it totally explains your moronic comments about Pep earlier on this thread.

You need to be careful with tosh like "I'm no Happy Clapper" to be honest in future because when posters do what I did with the search button you get exposed as a massive lying hypocrite who knows nothing about football.

I'll take your response as a 'yes' to the question at the end of my post David.

Mercer, Mancini, Book, Horton and Royle.

The only City managers ever worthy of 'brown nosing' in my opinion.

Now back to Pep....

Nowt wrong with that,but while i do think you are right to highlight Peps faults,i also believe you owe him much more credit.

I owe him nothing. He's just a bloke doing a job.

He's done it well for the last few years but dropped a bollock in Porto when it really mattered for the owners.

He's earned the thick end of £50m since he arrived at City. I think that's more than enough 'credit' for anyone.

And yet you can see no wrong in an egomaniac,that was on course to implode our club,beyond favouring Balotelli too much.

C'mon....youre better than that.
 
Bobby was the most ideal manager at the most ideal time. Any longer in the manager's chair and things might have gone south quickly, considering how many people inside the club had grown to dislike him. But for the time we had him, he was absolutely the right man for the job. When he came in we were still a bit of a laughing stock - the club with more money than sense - but by the time he left we were set up to be the most successful club in England over the 2010s. My favourite City manager of all time.

There's definitely the sense, though, between Mancini and the club, that we were each other's first loves. His time with us had all the hallmarks of the first relationship to break your heart when you're a teenager. When we were together it was so brilliant and felt so passionate and electric in the way only high school relationships can be, so we ignored all the major issues we were having in the hopes that they'd go away... Until they blew up in our faces. Then one of us had to make the hard decision to break up, and there's been a bit of resentment and a sense of unfinished business ever since.

We'd love to call him up and see how he's doing, and it stings a bit when we see him flourishing with somebody else and wonder what could have been if things hadn't gone wrong, but we know it's for the best that we resist the temptation to reach out and remember that it's best if we carry on down our own paths.

Wow, this one:

lol... I really do not give a flying shit what some jumped-up bootroom boy [Pep] has 'won' in three years. IMO he is an overrated charlatan - He will be found out sooner rather than later.

Mancini is the man. Champion @ MCFC... Our Champion
