Mancini' interview to Gazzetta about Mario, Mansour,United

[Didsbury Dave]

Just catching up on this thread. Another handy guide to Bluemoon's biggest bellends.

"I've got a question - why won't you answer my question - WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION."

FPMSL. And whilst most of the rest of the world was bringing in the new year with their loved ones.

That bit raised a smile in me as we'll when i read it this morning. Imagining some kid in his bedroom at 11.00pm on New Year's Eve going ' I've got em! Look, no reply! Got 'em'.

Why must he be a kid? Just give the arrogance a rest.....

Some daft gobshite last night was posting inane 'challenges' to me whilst I was enjoying New Year's Eve and gloating because there was no reply. You can tell its a kid.

Y'know what - with respect - you should probably give your hypocrisy a rest too. This thread and others like it are full of arrogant loudmouthed gobshites who spend half their lives trolling around after me and DD spoiling for a fight. Yet if we dare to comment back we're arrogant.

Yeah right ... now that's fucking funny.

Yeah and I've seen them too but There are many posters who disagree that aren't children.

Probably me, you can respond now if you like

Much criticism stems from the Champions League elimination

But I wonder how happy the fans of Dortmund and Real Madrid are with their managers right now. Dortmund are 3rd 12 points behind the leaders and Real Madrid are also 3rd 16 points off the top.

The domestic League is always the test of a manager, and on that basis, Champions one year, and runners-up at the half-way mark in the next should be taken on board.

That doesn't mean Mancini hasn't made mistakes. But it does mean he is a good manager. And it means some of the continual criticism of him is at best silly

I am particularly impressed, in fact amazed, at the way City keep bouncing back at crucial stages i.e after Champions League elimination or defeat to Utd. It seems every single time that Mancini becomes vulnerable, City respond. I thought by now, we'd have had a double dose of bad luck and he would have lost one of these crucial games eg Norwich away.

Credit Mancini with installing a will to win in the team. That doesn't come from just having good players. It's from the steel of the manager

So ? Doesn't change my point.

Standard operating procedure is to comment on something me or Dave have said, but ignore the constant shit we put up with. There's nothing arrogant about Dave calling them kids, or me calling them bellends. It's a fucking manifest fact that if in the run up to the turn of the year you're on Bluemoon making snide digs at posters who aren't around you're probably one or both of those things.

Really can't understand the vitriol that both Dave and Billy face on here.

At least they are consistent in their views and if they both feel that they don't particularly rate Bob as being a managerial great then surely they are allowed to have that opinion.

Doesn't make them any less blue, imo.

It's not what is being said but how sometimes.

People shouldn't take their style too much to heart, it's a forum at the end of the day and it would be a duller place without them.

Just as a matter of interest are you a "kid" ?! ;-)

You are faced with a set of choices when you're me. I'll let billy speak for himself of course. I come under a hail of fire from posters I've never even heard of almost every time I post something. People who have nothing to say In general but get a kick out of hiding behind others coattails and sniping. Now I make a conscious decision: instead of sinking to their level and spending all my bluemoon time engaged in spats and name calling, pr reporting them, I choose to look down my nose at these people. Not the good posters, but the sniping, snapping little say-nowts who follow me around. So if you perceive me as arrogant then that's fine because its a choice I make for self-preservation reasons.

Mate, you shouldn't even have to explain yourself. There's a foul stench which needs airing on Bluemoon. It'll happen eventually ...

There seems to be an attitude on here from some that implies that because Mancini won us the league last season then he should have a job for life at City and that some are happy with just the FA Cup and League titles.....these trophies are now history, albeit a very pleasant part of our history but unless we get our arses in gear very shortly then we're going to have to get used to seeing those tossers down the road lifting yet another title at a time when frankly, I thought we'd be going on to dominate. I kind of feel that our relative mediocrity this season is handing them a lifeline back into winning something and it really, really annoys me.
I was watching the re-run of the Sky Soccer Sunday end of season finale last night and before the match Souness was saying that Utd should be afraid because if we were to win the title that afternoon then we'd go on, get stronger, "kick on" and dominate......that hasn't happened this season and is the most disappointing aspect, if anything we have regressed slightly.
Of course we can still go on and win the league this season, I think we've got the manager and team to do that however if we don't and end up with a trophy-less season that that will be poor and we should then consider options.
