Mancini

[EddieR]

You seem more than capable of winding yourself up, so I'll just move out of the way...

I'm cucumber-esque here,and completely unwound.
I just expect someone to back up their opinions with something resembling a case,as that's what normal folks do during a discussion.
Clearly my expectations were unrealistically high in your case.
I won't trouble you further.

Why, you haven't troubled me at all. Have a cheery day and please say hello to Sancho for me.

I feel somewhat voyeuristic, witnessing this exchange between you gentlemen. Quality banter though, thanks.

If you don't know how Mancini works now after being here for over 3 years you will never know him

I know HOW he works. I'm saying I don't agree with it, and that slagging your players off all the time in public is not productive.......and I've yet to see anything resembling an answer to convince me that it is

Yeah it's not worked has it..

Compared with last season, when he was relatively calm (apart from publicly accusing a player of something that he didn't actually do, and contributing to a 5 month exile in the process), no, it hasn't.....unless you count being likely to end the season about 12 points down on last, falling out with a player he'd pretty much staked his reputation on to the point that he had to be sold, and unnecessarily embarrassing his goalkeeper and his captain.......

How many times have you said "I could have killed/punched/kicked him"? It's just Italian for Nasri can be really frustrating, it doesn't mean he literally wanted to punch him. Lost in translation.

You don't really believe that do you?

Thank you, but he deserves all the credit. After all, he presents arguments, as opposed to my true, but unsubstantiated opinions...

Tevez clearly refused to warm up against Byern as well you know.

how can an opinion be truth?

And here I thought "Nasri" would be 'Italian for Nasri...' Is "Mancini" actually English for "di Canio"...?!

"Its just Italian" pmsl

It's an English journo putting his spin on a Mancini "joke", nothing more, nothing less.

The BBC gossip column says "Mancini joked"...

Do you really, honestly believe that he literally wanted to punch Nasri? Pmsl, as you seem to be fond of saying.<br /><br />-- Mon Apr 01, 2013 9:09 am --<br /><br />

If it accurately describes what it is being referenced...
