I wouldn't count the friendly cup so to me it would be three trophies in two yearsgordondaviesmoustache said:It's a minor point but if we win the FA Cup this year (and you count the Community Shield) then it will be four trophy wins in under three years.spamalot said:3 trophies and the possibility of a 4th in just over 3 years is great compared to what we have had to endure.

in the CL real madrid and borussia were better than us and they deserved it. i think that it's not mancini's fault that we depend on yaya or aguero, it's fault of bryan merwood whose job was to buy extra class players, but he failed. next year when soriano and chiki will do their job and buy players enough for first squad and bench too, mancini will do the maqsimum anyone can do with that squad. i don't think who we will buy but mancini will do his job, i am sure. today we played well, we dominated, we were much more better than chelsea but we need better midfielder than barry for that 25 minutes, better winger than milner for that 25 minutes and better striker for that 25 minutes than dzeko. that was the reason in madrid, in that 25 minutes we lost the game, we could have won. i don't think that because they dominated they deserved, we had our tacktiks and it was working well, but lack of good players for madrid was the reason we lost. when you play against madrid barsa or bayern yaya can't do the job he does against rags or chelsea, he has to win against khedira, alonso, ozil and when he plays with barry or alonso it's impossible. that's why i think that it was good choice to leave mancini : )
The most blatant of a RAG post I have seen for a very long time.
Whats wrong with his post ( other than grammar ) ?

I am merely stating that our victory (by one goal) showed nothing of tactical genius by the manager. The only difference between today and the prior matches we've had against Chelsea are that we had the bit between our teeth in the first half, and they were playing like a team that has been run ragged.
Common sense be damned, I guess. You start a thread saying "the genius" for beating Chelsea (with a fair bit of luck from the ref, if we're all honest). Please explain specifics as to why the performance today was tactical genius, when the tactics looked identical to almost every match this season.
Take your shit elsewhere deathbed.

With the very public display of affection by the fans for the manager it would take some cojones for Txiki and Ferran to sack him. Don't think they will as they seem to understand that last summer was a missed opportunity. Noises suggest we will bring in 4 players better than what we have.
Sadly for the usual suspects they will have to wait another year. Sadly for the rest of us they will be posting the usual mixture of wishful thinking, innuendo and pseudo knowledge gained from well placed individuals within the club.

Glad the majority are still 100% behind our boss.
Changing mananger IMO would be fucking suicide at this point in time. Continuity is the key.
One more season to break into knock out stages in Champs league.

The cabal go very quiet for a few days after a victory for our team and Mancini. As you say we will have to put up with some of the nonsense this thread throughout next season too.
