FA Cup Final Post Match thread

[Sky Blue]

Fuck me, the day gets worse. Just stuck ITV on and Jamie Rednapp is a guest on Ross.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Fuckimg disgusting performace. Every player who was on that pitch should be ashamed regardless ofwwht was going on behind the scenes. Loser scum

Just to try draw all this together, then:....

There seems a genral consensus that we didn't turn up today and that the better team (on the day) won

there is no issue with the ref (didn't get it all right but generally fair)

the blame game seems to be shared between

a) the players' attitude and effort
b) RM's tactics
c) the destabilising of the club by the rumours that were, (having bubbled under for a while), allowed to explode onto the meeja front pages on the eve of / morning of the FA Cup Final and cii) the failure of City's Press Office to sort this


Any thoughts on how these factors interplayed ?

The media did fantastic job on us.The press offfice at City need a big bollocking for this.Mancini was not to blame for this defeat.

If I was guessing

- Spanish duo pursue Pellegrini
- Mancini gets angry threatens resignation
- players sense tension / are distracted + mancini is distracted.
- press office ignore all of it as City do want pellegrini in and bob gone.
- we play shockingly badly

a) probably affects b) so you'd have to absolve blame from Bobby.
In my opinion our failure as a club to deal with c) probably caused a) and so negates b).

Post match interviews

Couldn't help clicking on the links at the OS and hearing what Bobby and Vinny had to say. One minute of Mancini was enough, just couldn't take anymore of the pathetic drivel he always serves after losing. Vinnys bit actually left me with a little bit of optimism for what is to come in the future. No question which of these two guys I consider important for our club's future.

a only a

Lack of a plan B .... Which the blame can be attributed to Mancini for.

Adam Johnson used to be it, now there isn't one.

Winger(s) and a target man are needed

 

[Kenny Clements Perm]

Ticket 110 quid
Travel 60 quid
Refreshments 90 quid

We've been a heart-beat away from a result like that since Swansea at home at start of season.

Really worried that the Mancini's positive he's staying.

Then how do we explain Wigan? Roberto Martinez is leaving for Everton, and somehow they didn't get distracted.
