the problem is that it isn't 30 idiots. This seems to be an attitude growing and growing amongst our fans.. and it's absolutely ridiculous. I'm not going to try to convince anyone that Mancini is playing scintillating football right now, but i really think we're making forward steps. Starting off with making us a team that's difficult to beat.
the feeling in the stadium seems more sour with every passing week. And if you're talking about the owner being disappointed in us, i can see why. There's one thing that strikes me about City fans at the moment, in the ground and elsewhere.. the sheer ingratitude we display. Take for instance the Liverpool game - a match where 2 years ago we'd have zero chance, but here we were the better side and with a bit more from the forward players we could have won it. So you'd think the fans would be happy, would show the team a biit of gratitude? By the time the final whistle went (ignoring the boos for the referee, though that didn't look too good either on face value) the ground was half empty. It actually made me angry to look down at the players walking around an empty stadium, you could imagine them thinking "what are we even bothering for". When big Nige walked up to our stand to clap and there were maybe half a dozen people clapping back. When i looked at the opposite stand there were half a dozen fans clapping back. And i just thought "this is the thanks we give them". Everyone else was pointed at the exit, not bothering to glance down at the people who'd just fought for them for 90 minutes
it's not an isolated incident, but it shows something very clear to me. City fans want it all, they want the pplayers to give their all, and then when they give it we don't even say thanks. And for an owner who wants to be loved and adored by the fans, wants to be a hero, you can understand why he might think he's fighting a losing battle

ive said time and time again there is a small section of fans at this club who are its worst enemy.....impatient and who dont deserve the success that the people running the club want to bring
I didnt want MH sacked but those calling for Mnacini to go etc are a disgrace and should be hounded out of the club
and the media pick up on thins said on forums like this and use it as "evidence" to justify there own bullshit agenda!!!!
Some people just need to shut the fuck up!!

dw7 said:how much have we spent in that time compared to every other team
2 Ways to look at it.
1. far too much for the rubbish we are playing - MH's fault.
or
2. clearly not enough, because we're still nowhere near the finished article.
Personally I go with 1 because this lot seem incapable of playing with each other, its the same now as it was under MH.
Well said Tolmie,like the little cyptic bit at the end ..tolmie's hairdoo said:Ricster said:Cant say, but its the same person that told me in November that Hughes would be gone before the Jan transfer window. I pm'd quite a few people about that, so i have no reason not to believe him this time.
I can understand why he's pissed. We are acting like spoilt little children. Its about time we did what blues do best and get behind the team and start supporting the way we used to.
Ricster, you are clearly hearing snippets re this. But I can assure you, the man at the very top, although frustrated like the rest of us, is sitting pretty in terms of what the future holds.
We, as City fans, also get into a mindset that it is all about what happens on the pitch, this considerably investment so far is just a precursor to the bigger picture.
Sheikh Mansour and his team of advisors are quickly learning that football gives no guarantees.
But I can guarantee you this, there are plenty of people walking this summer within the entire management structure.
Keep the faith, they knew Mancini was a short term gamble, unfortunately, for both him and us, one that appears to not have come off, but there is still time.
The existing caveat in his contract, should demonstrate to everyone that they are here for a long time, and that they are prudent enough to see further down the road.
The thirst for success is palpable, within touching distance, which makes for frustrations in all. But it will come, and it will be all the more special when it happens.

Lol. Love how you're saying its bullshit. Especially when Tolmie says i've got snippets and Ajay says its got some credit. Maybe you dont believe Ajay like many, but Tolmie? Why have i got reason to lie?
Tell you what, from now on i'll keep my info to myself. There you go, you got you've all got your way, like you did with Ajay and spursmad.
Good Luck Tolmie
Welcome to the club of keeping your mouth shut mate, i must admit it's an easier life on this side of the fence.
You've learnt the hard way like the rest of us!! lol

It's not about high demand and being impatient. It's about "this is exactly why we should have kept hughes". I was a 'moron' who hand gestured to mancini,and i do not regret it. I'm not impatient, i'm not demanding blah blah blah. All i am demanding is someone that knows what they're doing. Mancinis tactics are abismal, and he has said he has no intentions of changing them. He is not playing the city way, and that's what i don't like. He played for pens from the word go last night, and looked like he didn't give a shit in half time of ET. Quite frankly he deserved my middle finger
Fancy the job?><((('> said:Just admit a clown could coach better than mancini
