Was this the story pulled earlier? Mancini V Tevez {merged}

Only just seen this story. I'm not surprised by it all and believe it (not necessarily every detail but the broad gist). Tevez looked so pissed off in that first half, his body language was poor, in fact I thought most of the team looked the same. The bloke sat next to me even said he thought something had gone on as so many players looked so down. It was noticable that Tevez went out of his way to shake Mancini's hand though, there was someone stood between them and he could easily have avoided him but he made a very deliberate decision to go to see Mancini. Hopefully it is all sorted but it isn't exactly what you want to hear.
It probably did happen but you know what, its a good thing. At least they both want to win, the big concern would be if nothing was said and you'd got turned over on saturday.
The biggest concern if this is true must be the "mole" in the camp who has told reporters about this, its not something you can really blame on the press.

Re: Tevez and Mancini bust up (Funniest bull**** of the year)
More than that my friend, he's a master of mind power that would put a Jedi Knight and Derren Brown to shame.

Of course, being someone who is actually a bit of a fan of Mancini means I'm coming at it from a different angle than others but maybe this is just Mancini's man-management style on the whole. He wants players pumped up to the max and sent on the pitch like coiled springs.
Many were pulling their hair out on Sunday as AJ warmed up for the bst part of an hour and they wanted him on much earlier. You don't have to believe me, but I did actually say to those around me at the time that I thought Mancini might be winding AJ intentionally, making him think he was going to be on the pitch any minute only to release him with 20 minutes to go.
A dangerous game as you might lose a player like Ade by doing that, he seems to know what makes AJ tick though because within 3 minutes he'd won us the game.
Just a theory.
Are you suggesting that Mancini knows what he is doing and our second place in the Premier League is anything other than luck - what a ridiculous thought!

You clearly have access to Ladyman's unexpurgated account,Didsbury Dave said:johnny crossan said:the Bluemoon community waits with bated breath......
This is a real story and did happen as Ladyman reported.
please fill in the spaces for those of us without that benefit.
"Mancini entered the dressing room after his players and heard Tevez saying something he didn't like. (....................?) City's Italian manager then made a comment of his own (.......................?)and Tevez jumped up from his seat to confront him. Words were exchanged (.........................?)and other members of the team and backroom staff had to intervene."

Unlike you who only has blind faith, Johnny, I have the facts.
And they didn't come from Ladyman, either ;-)

Dave second hand information from a former player who has had the info passed on from a current player isn't telling the story and you know it...... the only fact in the whole ladyman article is that their was a blow up but not along the lines of what ladybum is reporting.
