Roberto Mancini

Inter beat Lazio 2-1 away tonight and are now up to 7th.

And they missed a penalty!

And Lazio had 10 men for the first half and 9 men for the second half. First inter goal was offside too. Smelt like the traditional end of year Serie A match fixing to straighten up the table.

Inter Milan are only mid table. .
I thought Mancini would have had least had them near 5th in the table .
Got a lot of work to do Mancini at Inter Milan .

3 points off of 5th, playing now and drawing with Juve.

Inter were very unlucky and probably have been let down by the ref (also by Handanovic, who otherwise is a very good keeper).

Then again, they had huge amount of luck, or whatever you call it against Lazio the other week.

Kudos to Bobby. BBC World Football asked him if Chelsea could win the Premier League this season. This was his answer...

I feel like some old bird whose husband is out at sea. I know it'll never happen but I'd love it if one day he returned.

He won't. He lost a dressing room and alienated himself from much of the club. You'd rather he came back over appointing someone like Pep Guardiola?

Of course not, I was going to mention Pep in my post but decided against it considering I'm in the Mancini thread. It is however hard not to have a lasting affiliation with a manager who gave us so many memories.

I watched the season review dvd from 2012 last night (despite the fact I can't stand the commentary as it's all done post match and is therefore very fake).

I do miss Roberto, the club is in a lot better shape without him at the helm. He is similar to Mourinho in his management of players and will step on toes if he doesn't feel people are working for him. That can work wonders for a time but tends to fall apart, and it's why Mourinho struggles to stay at a club for any length of period and the clubs he leaves tend to stutter when he's left as a new manager has to do a repair job (apart from at Real).

I'd love to have him back one day - but when we've won everything for about ten years. It would be a great ride and there'd be a lot of fun memories! It won't happen though and rightly so. I'm jealous that Liverpool have got Klopp as I do like the entertainment factor and I feel to some extent it's what City are all about. Though everyone talks about us losing the "typical City" tag, I don't think we should lose the light hearted and general good humour that the club has always been about. That being said, we're likely to get Pep next and he's very much a man who let's his team do his talking on the pitch.
