To be honest its been a little disappointing so far..."win the derby or you're sacked" as if Ferran and Txiki are that stupid to base decisions on one match...and Mancini spends a few days in Abu Dhabi on a visit so secret that City confirmed it when asked..oh and Barca want to offer City a shed load of wonga plus players for Vincent because of the Mancini spat which is a story that has been knocking round for a while and well before the Mancini spat...
..frankly its not looking good for my ritual pre derby rant about basis in the media
PS; Daniel Taylor doesn't count. A bit OTT but valid points raised in my opinion

decent assessment and nowt much wrong with it.
I'll raise you with Yaya, Sliva, Aguero et al, if that's your game?Paulmcfc2703 said:As long as its not pissed up the wall like Kolarov, Nasri, Balotelli, Savic, Sinclair, Rodwell, Maicon etc I'm all for it.The Future's Blue said:And we should be spending shit loads more (FFP in mind) to ensure we at least have a chance of competing. The Rags and Chelsea have very good squads, we need to be better.Paulmcfc2703 said:I agree.
It was probably just for the Sheikh to ask why it has gone wrong this season and what Mancini plans to do to sort these issues out for next season.
Would have been brilliant seeing the Sheikh's reaction when Mancini said 'Iz football, spend more money please.'
Not bad though, we're still in our infancy when it comes to this but with the new boys at the top I expect us to really push on.
Well I wasn't playing a game but using the abacus that makes it 7-3 ;)The Future's Blue said:I'll raise you with Yaya, Sliva, Aguero et al, if that's your game?Paulmcfc2703 said:As long as its not pissed up the wall like Kolarov, Nasri, Balotelli, Savic, Sinclair, Rodwell, Maicon etc I'm all for it.The Future's Blue said:And we should be spending shit loads more (FFP in mind) to ensure we at least have a chance of competing.

Sergio Aguero accused of snubbing young son and reneging on child support deal
The estranged wife of the Man City striker said she received an angry call from the star after she was pictured hugging a nightclub owner
The estranged wife of Man City striker Sergio Aguero has accused him of snubbing their young son and reneging on a child support deal after seeing pictures of her with another man.
Giannina, daughter of Diego Maradona, said she received an angry call from the £200,000-a-week star after she was pictured hugging a nightclub owner.
She said: “Sergio had a go at me over that photo. I told him I didn’t have to give him any explanations. He decided he didn’t want to sign what we’d agreed – things like visitation rights and child support.”
Giannina, 23, said the Argentine star, 24, did not acknowledge her or their four-year-old son, Ben, on a flight to Buenos Aires.
She denied she had blocked access after he started dating pop star Karina Tejeda, adding: “All I know is the last time he was in Argentina he didn’t see his son. You’ll have to ask him why.”

One thing is for sure, the degenerates in the media will not be sacking our manager, even if they divide/wind-up our fans on a far-too-regular basis....Andouble said:I don't think the "win or your out" headlines are too far out of line; yes of course they are extreme and only Roman and some managers in Serie A would sack a man for one result, but I definitely think Monday and Sunday have huge bearing on Mancini's future.
If you lose both and finish the season trophyless and nearly 20 points back of retaining your title, I see no way back for Mancini and deservedly so.
You can blame Marwood for last summer all you want but for me things like being "unlucky with injury" is not an excuse as the rags were down to bare bones last season and we were the healthiest club in the league by a wide, wide margin and still just scraped it.
Also publicly insulting all your players has worn a bit thin with me, personally.
My best case scenario would be to lift the FA Cup and a huge job opening in Italy that he wants, he leaves us with a trophy and an amicable split with 3 trophies in the cupboard and we go in a new direction. Everybody wins.
