if we lose against chelsea then we're in for a rough ride from the media. a great way to shoot yourself in the foot.

 

[persvenality cult]

I understand about the team selection, but fucksakes I just hate losing... I thought he might take a chance and see this as a good opportunity to win something.

need results against chelsea and juve to justify this. and stay in the top four.

Just in from work - listening on way home in car........time for a rant guys.......
CANNOT believe some of the utter crap people are saying tonight.
1. We can't RISK players as we have Chelsea? This is football not a bloody war!
by that [shite] logic, we can't risk players v Chelsea as we have Juve next thurs....in fact let's not play anyone ever....then no injuries....
2. Mickey Mouse comp? Really? Did anyone say that at the semi's last season? NO. Unfortunatly since i supported City in 76 they ceased to win trophies.hence we have had the piss taken out of us since then......The League Cup is a cup competition - one of only 4 per season [counting euro].....Personally I would LOVE us to win it......batter than 4th. To see tevez lift any cup would be better than sex for me.........
3. Noone would have predicted this shambolic team before hand because that's what it is, utter shambles and it's clear Mancini wants us to go out......that is disrespectful to every fan who made it tonight and every other City fan.....If he is keeping players for Chelsea we had better win that game otherwise in the space of 4 days we go out of the first cup competition at the first hurdle and lay in mid table in the prem......excellent return on our spending and really ties in to Mancinis ramblings about creating a winning mentality at the club........

Anyone wants to slate me go ahead..........there is no argument against anything i've said............

Once again, you'd rather we play our starters against WBA reserves and then play our reserves against Chelsea and get battered what 6-0?

There is absolutly NO connection between what I said and your reply. I expect a team to win this match and a team to win V chelsea.....as any supporter should....My support for MCFC is more important than Mancinis short tenure at the club.........

if its a micky mouse cup why do we even play in it? we must build a win win win win win team!

They're drawing, and likely to go through. That's what's happening.

the incident leading to the penalty has just been described as a complete figment of the ref's imagination... what I would give for us to have that effect on the officials.

Newcastle just scored a fourth!

 

[dw7]

all this bollox about we cant risk players well why fucking not we're supposed to have one if not the best squad in the league and more to the point we've more chance in winning the carling cup than winning the league or europa league

pmsl!

i go to plenty of games mate, taking into account where i live. i'd say 6 games a season is good going for someone who lives about 3 and a half hours away.i take it you say that to everyone else who doesnt live in manchester then, and finds going to games either too expensive or simply cant find 10 hours in their weekend to go to a football match.

get a fucking grip

I don't live in Manchester either. It's an 80 mile round trip for each and every home game but I'm still there, each week.

I understand the expenses and as your only a couple of years older than I am I honestly get you in that department. The gripe is how your lynching the manager and the players. There's still time left in the game and maybe Mancini has made a tactical error in the match today, but with the biggest game of the season this Saturday did anybody honestly expect a full strength team full of internationals and multi-millionaire signings? I didn't and neither did you.

Stop slating everything to do with City cos after we beat Chelsea on Saturday you'll be calling Mancini a legend.

You can get a grip.
