Mancini should recieve more credit.

[levets]

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.

Well said

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.

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.

If he does report you, then it was worth it believe me - best post for a long time. I'm sick of nit picking 'fans'. This guy cannot be a fan - he uses the excuse that he is 'unblinkered' and 'objective' to dish out this drivel - unlike the rest of us who obviously know Jack

Billy didn't want to go to Wembley last season; he was so angry I recall.

BillyShears. The cancer that keeps on spreading.

Hahaha. You boys are doing a bang up job of showing how bitter i am.

How apt that the fan of the 'cool manager of 08' should use the 'cool phrase of 08', bang tidy indeed.

On a serious note, you've been crawling down the long road marked 'Dick head' for a while now, it's nice to see you've finally arrived at your destination.

Now off you go, go Google a random foreign manager and then back him to the hilt whilst your own club is managed by a man you despise despite the trophies he's bringing on home.

I've been downgraded from a sad ****, snide, spineless little wretch, to just a dickhead in the space of a few pages so I must be headed in the right direction!

At least give our manager a bit of credit. I have voiced slight concern that he might not do well in the Champions League but I want to be proved wrong.

 

[The Future's Blue]

Trust me, we're all enjoying the 'glorious present'.
Some of us have waited a long, long, time to have reasons to celebrate as we are doing now and when I saw Roberto's happy smile on top of that bus, if I could have reached him I would have kissed him!
I've criticised things that I saw - and still see - as errors all through his time with us and find it hard to believe that so many on here didn't see the same faults. Is it down to poor eyesight, youth, or some kind of agenda, that we seem to have so many aggressive happy clappers among us?

Interesting question. I think it's down to the fact that the errors you saw weren't errors at all.

I think that what really occured is that you were wrong, what you said was wrong, what you implied was wrong, you have no football intelligence, you apparently don't understand the game at all, or our club and where it is heading, you have no idea what is going on now, and since what you said was clearly wrong all along, it's very probable that what you say in the future is also going to be wrong.

That seems to me a better explanation than accusing everyone who thought we were on the right track of being happy clappers after we just won the Premier League, which sort of proves that we were on the right track like many of us thought.

It's like a scientific experiment, where you propose a thesis, and then see if the results of the experiment support it. The experiment was the Premier League season. We won it under Mancini. Which proves that what he did was right. People who supported him were right. The results prove it. The results proved you wrong. You can't argue about it now or take shots at the people who were proven right without looking rather silly, or driven by some twisted agenda.
It's blindingly obvious to any fair minded observer.

You and your buddies are laughable. I laugh at you!

These, my friend, are very good thoughts. What is wrong is that we should be celebrating Mancini's accomplishments, not seeing people belittling them.

I do wonder who support our club and, who are deep-lying columnist's?

I figured that coming from a blue you've no time for on a forum of blues you've no time for, on a subject you're clearly the expert on, that you wouldn't even notice the names.

Still, at least you've got a name on BM now eh, Bill? But what a price to pay!

Just imagine though, had Aguero not scored that goal you could be lording it on here like some kind of divine God rather than coming across as bitter.

We all know you're waiting for the day Mancini fucks up so you can shout out loud 'I WAS RIGHT' but it's caused quite an ugly conflict of interests.

The good news is that Red Cafe should more than welcome more posters who believe Mancini simply bought the league and that even then we were very lucky.

OK... here goes....

Mancini is the best manager we have had since Joe Mercer... NOBODY can deny this.

You may not like him, you may think other clubs managers are better... but he is the best CITY manager since Joe and will go on to eclipse even Joe's achievements.

in his FIRST FULL season he guided us to the promised land of the Champions League and WON our first trophy in 35yrs.

In his SECOND Season he guided us to our FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP in 44 yrs.

Sit back, 'drink it in'... and shut the fuck up about his suitability for this role.

Forza Mancini

It's very rare in life that 100% of any group of people will all agree about any given subject. A small number of City fans don't agree with the majority opinion that Mancini is a brilliant manager. I can't for the life of me see why that should be such a big deal?

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Having met Billy I can categorically state that he is a big blue and does not have a brain the size of a peanut.

He has also previously displayed an ability to admit he was wrong which is a characteristic I always admire in people.

I rate Mancini as a manager, but most of all I've nearly always maintained (apart from after the Arsenal game) that he's a lucky manager. That is why we won the league in his charge. A combination of talent and luck: two things all too absent from this football club over the last 30 years.

He has to take absolute credit for delivering the title; that is what being manager allows you to do. I wouldn't swap him for any manager in world football: he gets City; the football last season was exhilarating; and the team spirit and never say die attitude was clear for all to see.

Forza Mancini.

The question you should be asking yourself right now is "can he laugh at himself" - and in the answer to that question you'll find the reason why this thread and in particular your contributions are quite so entertaining to me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off out for a pint of bitter!
