Mancini should recieve more credit.

Strange he never won manager of the season.......

The way I look at it, the more the media underestimate and belittle him the longer he stays at City.

I think the press will take notice if he comes close to winning the Champions League. In my opinion this is Mancini weak spot at the moment.

Unfortunately his record at Inter Milan within this competition was not great either but that just means that there is room for improvement and a new goal to set himself which I'm sure Roberto will strive to achieve.

From FA Cup winners to Premier League Champions is one leap but to then be crowned Champions of Europe would be a mammoth achievement of insommountable recognition. Although the competition has been devalued somewhat given Chelsea's eventual lifting of ol' big ears, it is still the pinnacle of club football.

It is often portrayed that Mancini failed miserably in the CL at Inter, but Mancini was let down by his club big time with indiscipline from players and fans and was unlucky to be knocked out twice on away goals.

In 2004-05, his first season in charge, Inter got to the quarter-finals. They lost 2-0 in the away leg against AC, but because of that Dida flare incident, UEFA disqualified Inter and AC went through to the semi-final.

In 2005-06, Inter made the quarter-finals again but lost to Villarreal 2-2 on away goals.

In 2006-07, Inter drew 2-2 with Valencia, but were again knocked at on away goals. Then came that famous brawl, and subsequently Inter had defenders suspended for the following season.

And in 2007-08 Inter lost to Liverpool who scored two goals in the 85th and 90th minute to change the tie.

Next time we lose, draw or win in a 'boring' manner, the plebs, prophets, piss cans and piss flaps will be back to slate Mancini and big up 'Mou' or some new foreign guy they've seen on a computer game or ESPN or something.

Next time we lose?

Nah, we'll do it now. The guy is vastly overrated. But hey, he has nice hair, and apparently is a dab hand at 'mind games'. Someone give him a 20 year contract, and get that petition started to get City renamed Roberto Mancini Football Club.

Christ, talk about bitter!

What makes me laugh is that if/when we go through a rough patch, you and your little mates will be out in force as if you've somehow predicted it all along. Whilst if we win something you'll all waddle off to Twitter or wherever it is you guys share your fairytales and made up stories these days.

You don't want City to win stuff, you just want us to have a manager you have a crush on, it's 'Mou' or nothing in your blinkered world and that's pretty sad.

I'm tempted to call you a sad **** but as it's open knowledge that you 'report' every post that disagrees with you, I won't bother.

Also the fact you mention Mancini's hair in every post you make leads me to believe you're bald, balding or just have shit hair.

Cue the 'I was happier than anyone when we won the league but Mancini is terrible, you'll see' type response.

You're a laughing stock, mate. It's not even fun now pointing out what a dick you are, it's just tedious.

Now you're read this far, I believe this is where you click 'report' like the snide, spineless little wretch you are.

Peace and Love, of that I'm 100% sure.<br /><br />-- Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:15 pm --<br /><br />

Innit. Give me half a billion and I'll win those cups without the need to have my job rescued in the last minute of injury time on the last day of the season.

You sound like a rag now, it's all about money and nothing to do with tactics, rotation policy and all the rest.

It's a toss up between thick as pig shit and contrary little cretin. I'm leaning towards the former.

BS's first choice is Jurgen Klopp, not Mou, to be fair.

The hair jibe is just about the best they've got to throw at him at the moment. No doubt his hair is the source of his poor man management.

But he was in charge of that indiscipline to begin with, and plus with the players Mancini bought, Mourinho won them the Champions League within two years. I would love to be proved wrong though and I will hold my hands up if that was the case. But i will wait and see how we will progress.

Was it Francis Lee who talked about a 'Fifth column' at City,people within the club who seemed to do everything in their power to derail it and destroy it from within?

I think we have the best fans in the world but amongst them is a bitter...yes the rags favourite word...bitter,self opinionated,up their own arse bunch of,well i am not sure what they are,i hesitate to call them fans.I personally have my doubts.

35 years without a trophy and the top two trophies on offer in England now in the cabinet in two years.That will do it for me.Fergiescum had the equivelent amount of money to throw at United when he went there and it took him five years to win a trophy.United's team at that time weren't as bad as City's when the takeover happened either.Hughes spent a fortune and did he look like turning us into a team with a winning mentality or winning anything?

Add to all this playing some of the best football in living memory,the most goals scored,the least conceeded,record after record broken and hey Mr 'nice hair',as this seems to crop up a lot...cough....hasn't done badly has he?

I wish the whiners and doomsayers would put on their sackcloth and ashes and go and join Schindler at the Maine Road site and weep about the good old days and let us enjoy the glorious present.

Only just realised the error in the title. Maybe the op should be docked a few points for his spelling.
