I have been very positive about Bobby. I will admit that there was a spell of a few days shortly after that loss to the scum at the swamp where I began to feel doubts creep in about him, but I'll put that down to my emotionalism at having lost to the fucking rag scum. I was also a bit put off by him speaking so often of "fixture congestion". Funny how I have heard TV commentators say SO OFTEN in the past couple weeks, during the jostling for top spots, that the Europa League can be even more punishing on a side than Champions League.
In the past few weeks, I feel we have seen Mancini begin to move into a new managerial phase. City are now solid at the back in the way he wants, and he is now beginning to move into a more attacking, forward playing style. I think the man deserves credit for sticking to his guns and insisting on defensive responsibility before all else.
Fuck's sake, Blues, can you imagine the pressure this man has been under? He has handled it with class and professionalism. He has represented our team with the same attributes. I am absolutely certain he will lead us now into a Sky Blue future filled with glory for Manchester.
Thank you, Bobby Manc, for this trophy, this season, and this bright future.
FORZA MANCINI!
