Mancini vs Balotelli

brilliant.
not only would he punch him every day, but he doesnt talk to him on a daily basis to avoid a psychologist. didnt realise roberto was that funny...

He's actually very funny!

Not long after the 6-1 game he was asked how he is greeted/treated around Manchester. He replied - People are very cordial and friendly, asked about Utd fans, he said they were friendly and respectful. The reporter asked him if he was serious... he said no they all tell him to f.$#$% off!, f$^% off all over the place!! Was hilarious in is Italian accent! Wish I had the video somewhere - you'd piss yourself!!

is he for real? how many players does he want. he cant even get rid of the players he doesnt want...
city have a very good team right now. saying he needs more is a just a cop out.
united dont have anywhere near the depth of city, yet theyll probably win the league. that shows that you dont just buy as many great players as you can, youre suppose to help the great players you already got play better together...
dont often hope that arsenal lose, but really backing city tonite, to keep the title chase close.

Big night ahead. Looking forward to watching some quality Premier League Football tonight!

I really really wish Liverpool would get Suarez the hell out of Anfield. I'm ashamed he plays for the club that I love. All season of been saying how bad he is for the team, the way he acts when someone shoots instead of passing to him makes me sick to death. I also have no idea why Shelvey and Flanagan make it into the first team and why Cole hasn't been recalled from France.

We really need Lucas back in the midfield, Agger back and fit is a good thing. There is nothing wrong with the squad we have, we just lack any type of confidence to attack the goal.

 

[sgt_pepper]

suarez is your best player tho?! apart from maybe gerrard who isnt a shade of what he used to be. you got hard workers, but no creativity. its a weak squad in my opinion. no strikers, weak midfield, alrite back line...
weak penalty @ OT just now...

 

[Jaames]

Suarez maybe the best player but its plain as day how much he pisses the team off and brings the mood down. I give it another 2 months before Bellamy takes his head off. I think when everyone is fit our midfield is pretty strong, we are shot of a true goal scoring striker, that will hopefully be fixed next transfer window.

i guess it depends on what you mean by a 'good squad'? its certainly not good enough to fight for top 4 at the minute considering the squads other teams have...just my opinion of course.
if you dont rate suarez, then arent you short 3 top strikers? you need 3 if you want to make a season of it...

 

[Jaames]

Oh I know we are a few years and a few players away from top 4. It's just my opinion that we have a good squad that only needs a player or 2 to add the creative spark to move us up to the next level.

 

[sgt_pepper]

the next level would be top4 tho wouldnt it? for a club like liverpool, to have so many gaps in quality throughout the team, im reluctant to call them good, thats all...
used to be my fave team (aside from the hammers of course) back in the early-mid 90s. now they just annoy me. especially dalglish!

 

[Warney]

The ref has no idea at all.

 

[rishgoon]

Scholes just scored a worldy. Glad United are winning this, don't want City getting a sniff for later.
Poor sending off and pen earlier though

 

[rishgoon]

1-0.
To
The
ARSENAL

 

[sgt_pepper]

id say thats about it.
didnt know who to support in that game. kept stopping myself going for the gunners to give city a shot at the title. arsenal played really well tho. deserved the win.
i counted 3 YC card tackles, 2 RC tackles on top of the RC he actually got for balotelli. not to mention his overall pathetic attitude.

 

[rishgoon]

He should of seen red for the 1st challenge, surprised Mancini didn't sub him. Didn't matter in the end. Talk of a 5-6 game ban for all his indiscretions.
Arsenal dominant, cracking winner from Arteta. All class.

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ its kinda lucky that his first tackle was completely ignored because now the FA are allowed to review it. they cant hand out extra bans for incidents that were dealt with on the pitch...except the RC of course.

 

[ooneil]

Man U can wrap the tittle up at Stadium of Light next week. How poetic......

What a meltdown by City. Great win by Arsenal - thoroughly deserved.

 

[ljandkg]

I think Balotelli might have just worn out his welcome....people have tried very hard for him, most of all the manager... He repays him like this....

You're right - rishgoon - Mancini shoulda hooked him... I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone after his ban, however big it is...

 

[sgt_pepper]

Mancini on Balotelli

the class mancini talks about isnt all that classy anyway. and certainly not worth the hassle...
