Way correct that Tevez had more competition for playing time there. Ronaldo was there along with Tevez, Rooney and sir flops. Still doesn't mean Ferguson made the right decision in not playing Tevez or in letting him leave. Tevez proved it so.

Mancini coached at Inter. Nothing will phase him in the media. And Tevez does run his mouth from time to time. But no one can question his dedication. He plays hard and he plays for the shirt he is wearing. Pretty much a nothing interview and a nothing story.

Rooney's finishing is just average. He gets a zillion chances. So I give Tevez the edge in that area. Rooney makes some nice passes and all but he is just sloppier than Carlos there. Guaranty you Tevez turns it over less and has better touch on the pass. Look at that through ball Tevez made...

Re: Streamer & Ticker tape at the Derby, UPDATE !!!! Type into YouTube "recibimiento 1996 River Plate" Now that's a proper reception for the team.

I wouldn't count them out either. To me they are the biggest threat to City at this stage. Form has a funny way of getting better against bad teams. Look at our own run of late. Three wins in a row, all against teams that really don't measure up. Also, playing them won't be easy. A win on...

Agree the road form is not great. But last year how many times did the team win away from home all season. Two, three? What was it? We've improved!

I have watched an awful lot of his games and he is a very good player. Excellent passer who keeps things extremely well organized. His touch on the ball is outstanding. As an Argie he has to be great playing the ball quickly and on the ground or he simply can't succeed coming up through their...

England has always been a nation that likes its natural order and hierarchy. When Chelsea hit their bonanza they were already further up the success ladder than us. And they were smacked around for upsetting the order. With us it feels a whole lot worse in terms of the negative attention...

I think it will take 73. And I think City and Liverpool will both land on that number exactly. Not sure what the tie breaker is other than goal differential. City 2 down in that department with 2 games in hand.

Well, he comes from an English speaking country. So of course he might want to play in a country where they speak English.

Re: ONE MORE YET: MCFC REQUESTED SPECIAL DISPENSATION Pretty hard to say the deal wasn't agreed if the owner is now sanctioning the request for a special exemption.

Re: ONE MORE YET: MCFC REQUESTED SPECIAL DISPENSATION Think Redondo. Similar build, similar style and the same first name to boot. Different player than Barry. Better with the ball on the ground, which you would expect from an Argentine.

Re: ONE MORE YET: MCFC REQUESTED SPECIAL DISPENSATION O.K. Thanks for that. Can't see why City would get an extension, but then again I don't have all the facts.

Re: ONE MORE YET: MCFC REQUESTED SPECIAL DISPENSATION 11 pm what? That's the added time that has been given to get the deal done? That's when Gago goes to bed in Madrid? What does this mean?

Marca in Spain is reporting Gago to City for 16 million.

I get so tired of hearing how players will be "exposed" in the PL. Half the teams in the PL are utter shite. A guy like Gago is technically superior to 90 percent of the players in the PL. If Gago were "exposed" it would be because he isn't big enough to handle the fucking manhandling the...

O.K. I'll fix it for you. Lucas was Gremio's best creative player and got his ass handed to him over two legs by Riquelme in the Copa Libertadores semis which exposed him for the sham he has been at Liverpool where they ask him to play a different role entirely. Satisfied?

Gago and Lucas are totally different players. Lucas was Gremio's talisman. Gago is a holding midfielder. Comparing them is stupid. Gago does offer some ability to get forward. Very good passer in tight spaces. He'd make a fine signing IMO because he will link passes together better than...

Mancini was a playmaker himself. I think he gets the idea.

I don't think 30 points gets City to fourth. I think they'll need 35. And I also think it is achievable but not easy. I have projected Liverpool to 73, City to 73, Spurs to 71 and Villa to 70. Call me insane but that's how I see it breaking down. Everyone is on Liverpool but they have been...
