Expect Uefa , . . . . . . .

Well if Billy doesn't think a post is about him again......

You don't think Jose would have done the same? Really? Jose is the best manager of his generation no doubt about it and he is prone to this sort of thing.

I think Mancini has pulled off a master stroke in his reaction. It gets the players behind him and a team love nothing more than clubbing together in an "the whole world is against us" siege mentality. It's simple psychology and I think we'll see a great reaction on Sunday.

I am guessing you didn't like to see Mancini doing that. Quelle surprise as they say down your way.

Joking aside I would expect most managers in that situation to have reacted in the way in which he did. I've got no problem with it at all. Helped mask a very poor performance for 45 minutes.

I was so close to apologising then your last sentence made me guffaw heartily ('gh' for future reference).

Are you disagreeing that we were awful in the first half ? Because that would certainly make me gh. :)

i also hate the muttering at players after every miss or substitution, i think it adds pressure, and you can see the players glance towards the bench and shake their heads at the managers reaction.

Oh come off it. Are you being serious here? If you look, you will find every single fucking manager does the exact same thing. Stop looking for things that aren't there.

As for "the players look to the bench and shake their head", stop making things up.

in the treeble year inter was 2 minutes away to be knoked out at group stage , 2 minutes.

That'll be a never then. A decade in the CL with four different clubs and from his first time in the competition, he's never failed to get out of the group.

The Ajax left back had 3 yellow card offences last night. None of them were given yellow cards and in fact only one was given as a foul!
Coupled with the first 5minutes penalty for yaya, the wrongly decision on the offside goal and the GBH on Mario at the very end.
It was a disgraceful officiating performance for the supposed elite of Europe.
They will be quick to demonise Roberts but the officials will get fuck all sanctions.

No it was the "helped mask" bit that made gh.

You know what they say about being easily amused don't you ?

Naturally the 'officials' wouldn't report Roberto, if they did their own performances might go under scrutiny!! They were diabolical last night.

Never mind, it was good to hear people singing: "We're Man City we fight till the end" quite a few times.

I had no voice at all yesterday, a dose of woman flu, and it is so frustrating not being able to shout!! It had better be back by Sunday!!!

What a f*ck wit headline ! How has Mancini 'escaped' (their words not mine) any UEFA action ? The referee made no mention of it in his match report so nothing happened that was out of order. The effi' media trying to kick up a storm again. Clowns. hate them. bastards.
