Balotelli (continued - bust up with Mancini pg 18)

[GetUpKid]

Drama and Manchester City have always gone hand in hand.

Understand that and following the club is a much less stressful experience ;-)

I'll laugh after we beat Watford. Until then I'll stick to 'blessing in disguise probably - more negative press for City - definitely'.

Mancini berated him for the tackle and instead of accepting he was wrong for as you say almost breaking Sinclair in 2 he gesticulated at the manager, and after all the backing Mancini has given him I think he has the right to have a go especially when we are a striker down and it seems Mario still hasn't cottoned on to the fact you can't almost break people in two ala kiev flying boot arsenal last year West Bromwich in his first sending off. The lad brings it on himself.

Gesticulated? Oooh the nerve of it all.

For me it's the not accepting that breaking people in 2 with snide tackles both in training and in matches is a bad idea might be the point that's important

I should be pleased as one thing's for sure ... it's another nail in Mancini's coffin regardless of what happens with Mario.

Wouldn't say that, but keep dreaming. It might come true one day.

Just because you don't think it is, that doesn't mean that I'm dreaming Moomba. Absolutely no need for that comment. I'm already banned otherwise I'd give you a piece of my mind ... ;)

It's not dreaming at all, if you think this would add any credit or keep it intact for Mancini at powers that are behind City, you're deluded.

If the argument was due to a bad challenge on Sinclair, maybe some of the things Mancini is shouting at Balotelli include the fact that Sinclair is trying hard, like Balotelli should be, and he has injured someone who is working much harder than he is.

I actually thought after his inept performance against The Rags that he should be sold in this transfer window. Unfortunately he has never and probably will never live up to his reputation.

However I have to say that on all the pictures I've seen regarding this incident, it appears that Mancini is the aggressor ! Mario has mis-timed a tackle in training and Mancini seems to of lost it with him. Can not really see on this occasion that Mario can take much of the blame.

Some on here thought he played well!

I must of been at a different match then ! Still it all about opinions I suppose.

The thing is you could half put up with the shit that comes with mario if he was actually any good at what he is payed to do!

I wonder how many other managers have had fights with their players?

Obviously Pulis & Beattie. It was claimed on the radio this afternoon that Souness was well known for it. Anyone know of any others? I'll bet there have been a few.

Ex Salford RL coach, Alex Murphy, once claimed in an interview that over the years he'd mellowed as a coach. "I've only had two fights with my players this season".

That it will.

Do you think I could blag my way in or are the press conferences more private than the training sessions?? .............. just kidding.

I think they have them on the other side of the fence. BYO step ladder. ;)

So if I brought two step ladders I could climb up one pair and throw the other pair over to climb down again? (I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to jump down over the fence!!) ........ ;-)
