SWP's back said:Can we not all give the argument a rest for 5/6 weeks whether win win or lose.
Whatever our personal opinions on the matter, squabbling in the meantime and before any concrete results (4th and/or a cup), it is far too early to call the shots. Threads such as these are just antagonistic and serve no purpose other than to argue with fellow blues (and I would say the Mourinho threads are the same).

Other peoples opinions fascinate me.

When he was in Italy he won 9 trophies in his 8 seasons .. but everyone told him he was just lucky and that but for the scandal hitting Juventus, etc, he would have won nothing. Apparently, all 9 trophies were "lucky".
Then he moved to City, shored-up one of the leakiest defences around, losing very few games thereafter, reached a Cup final in his first full season, and we're in the Champions League spot that he was asked to reach ... despite this everyone (even half his own fans) think he's rubbish. Match of the Day (and many other media outlets / papers / radio stations) have literally not had one single good word to say about him in the entire season.
Meanwhile, everyone tells him he is the most boring and negative manager ever, while Harry Redknapp is an attacking genius ... week after week he is told that ... even though when he looks at the league table, he sees that City have actually out-scored Spurs across the whole season .. and our cup-run has included 2-2, 4-2, 5-0, 3-0, etc ... but no-one wants to know that; Mancini is boring and Harry is exciting, and Spurs "deserve" to finish above City - that's all anyone believes.
I think Mancini must sometimes look at his track record ... and compare it with the way people treat him / are always criticising him ... and wonder what he's doing so wrong ?
Perhaps we City fans should get behind him and make him feel wanted for once.
Just a thought !

I don't think he did, just bloody blew itNelly's Left Foot said:I still can't work out why he " gave up" the Liverpool game which was part of our main target for the season.
