Since our take over, like it or not, the media hate us with a passion. The simple reason for this is because a large proportion of the said media, will support United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool etc. Therefor, anything negative against City, they will publish, and push into every main stream news corporation possible.
Ive just been sat watching the BBC news at 6'O'Clock, the 3rd news story was this whole farce surrounding Mario and Mancini. How the hell is this main news and how is it one of the top stories on BBC news? The reason - exactly what i have just mentioned above.
Im not Balotelli's biggest fan, when he signed i loved the ora around the guy, but thats when he performed on the pitch. This season, his performances when given chances have been average at best. This whole thing has been blown all out of proportion. All of the photographs point at Mancini being the one who caused the trouble. The tackle from Mario wasnt even that bad, but all of the media, without even seeing it have said it was a shocking tackle. How do they know this, did they see it - did they fuck, but they would rather cause problems and negativity about our football club to make us bad press.
Mario has done some pretty stupid things during his time at our club, but this isnt even close to some of the things he has done. Lets move on, and next time lets hope that the fans of our football club dont take the media bait like this time around.
If he played for United, do you think this would have made the news - dont be stupid.
I'll answer for him. You're.........forevermancity said:No, your the only glory hunter here, at least Mancio has left...leaving you.SWP's back said:Am I the only neutral in here now?

I agree with this post to a point and we should ignore the negative press we are getting. However I would like to be proved wrong about Balotelli and that he could be the player that wins us the title, but so far it is not looking likely.

Mario is a confidence player. He needs game time, and he is getting none of that at the minute. With Aguero out injured, now should be his chance, and i would hope that he starts tomorrow.
He gave us the greatest day the Premier League will ever see. No way will the last day of last season ever, ever be beaten. It will be replayed every time they talk about the best day football has seen, and that will be global. For that we have Mancini to thank. Oh, and Mario's pass to Aguero!gordondaviesmoustache said:I think I love you, Bob. Great post that sums up why Mancini and the enduring madhouse and rollercoaster that was, is and always will be Manchester City are a match made in heaven.BobKowalski said:In fairness most of the squad would at varying stages 'love to chin Mancini. In fairness to Mancini he would probably love them to try. So Mario liking/disliking Mancini I don't see as an issue given I doubt if any player actually likes Mancini - I mean its not as if he goes out of his way to be BFF with the players is it?
Mancini seems to thrive on tension and confrontation. He likes good characters but doesn't want angels. Tevez prior to Munichgate was quoted as saying that Mancini likes to create tension and the he (Tevez) didn't really know why. But the squad do seem to play better when there is drama in the ranks so in that sense our current squad is a creation in Mancini's image. It is fractious. It is confrontational with varying players always on the edge of a strop. As Vincent said its a difficult group to handle but it works. You don't go nigh on 2 years unbeaten at home or win difficult away games a man down or whenever we do lose a PL match always win the next one or win so many games in the last 15 minutes without having created something a bit special. Because much as people would like to deny the last 2 years Mancini has welded together a bunch of very talented, ego centric players into a strong team playing some quite sumptuous football.
And yes I have loved every minute of it. Except the bits when I thought it was veering towards the edge of a cliff but boy that feeling when we do a spectacular handbrake turn and win when all was lost - hell in retrospect I have ended up loving the 'edge of cliff' moments as well.
Some people dislike Mancini on here and wish he was Pep or Jose or whoever which is fine. Not everyone will like Mancini, and the players and most of the media will be the first in that particular queue, but it really doesn't matter because like it or not Mancini turned the cash into football silver and provided us with some truly great moments to cherish.
And for that I love the guy
He gave us a day that will quite possibly never, ever happen again.
At least not in our lifetime....
