Should\Will Mancini be sacked after spending squillions and winning nowt this season?

plasmaguy · 30-04-2012 10:54pm

Hats off to City, make no bones about it.

Couple of weeks ago they were dead and buried.

Bringing back Tevez was crucial to where they were, Mancini forced to swallow his pride.

Every couple of weeks Mancini comes out with something mad like Tevez will never play again or Baloteli might be sold and so on. Couple weeks later one of these players wins a game for him and he says all is forgiven.

Anyways, Man Utd losing to Wigan was a once in a century event.

Of course it wasn't.

This is why I love these threads. Great reading back over opinions so idiotic, they were probably trolling.

This is a great one:

plasmaguy wrote: »

I just don't understand why some people still think City could seriously win it that's all.

They had their chance and blew it and imploded.

Teams who implode near the end of the season rarely recover in the last few games.

My main point is they had their chance and blew it.

And Mancini has to take a large portion of the blame for that.

This one is even funnier:

plasmaguy wrote: »

For the 1 millionth time, city are not going to win the league this year...like I said, deal with it...

I feel sorry for those city fans who still cling to the belief they might win it.

City imploded in the last few months.

Watch and know more about football than you, afraid to say.

So City fans, have you dealt with it? Are you still "clinging" to the belief? Just remember, plasmaguy feels sorry for you and he knows more about football than you

Still waiting for plasmaguy to have a slice of humble pie.

Thanks for the laughs plasmaguy!
This is your response to anyone that said the league wasn't over:

It doesn't make sense if you lack knowledge of football, which you seem to do.

If you are willing to make an intelligent post, fair enough. If you are just going to post like you just did, I've no interest reading something like that. You know the rest.

How have I dug a hole? They aren't going to win the league, from a footballing point of view, unless a Munich like air disaster occurs to Man Utd.

What's your view on the Tevez return?

What return? He hasn't played for City since November. What are you talking about?

That hand gesture will be legendary if Man C go on and lift the title.

Wasn't even a bad tackle from De Jong

iregk · 01-05-2012 9:24am

In fairness lads City haven't won anything yet. They could well loose to Newcastle in which plasmaguy may well be right at the end of the season. People are acting like the title has already been won.

But he won't really be right, even if they don't win. He completely scrapped them and ridiculed people who disagreed with him. Now they're back in front with 2 games left, even if they do lose it from here, the 'implosion' he referred to was non existent, or at least no worse than Uniteds, weren't they 8 points ahead recently? They might well lose it from here but the fact that they got back in front means he was wrong to write them off so prematurely and with such conviction.

If you see it from the other angle it looks like Fergie makes that gesture first iirc

Also neck on Fergie to give out about a manager hassling officials, was it the Everton game where he was giving out to the 4th official for about 10 minutes?

I wonder if the OP had editing privillages on this thread would he delete it

That's a fair point and yes I do agree with you. One can only assume plasma guy is a young teenager with no real experience of end of season run ins. Never write anyone off until it's done. On the other hand I still think people are getting ahead of themselves a little. A lot of posts acting like united lost the title last night. Still 2 games left in which to do that properly...

But he knows so much about football

plasmaguy · 01-05-2012 12:42pm

As a footballing man (as opposed to the Man City bandwagoners), Utd have never blown such a points lead in the history of the premier league.

Go back over the years if you want.

I'm not here for petty arguments.

Utd have never blown a lead like this before.

City should have run away with the league when you consider their massive resources, resources which are far more than Utds these days.

The thing is, its people who know little about the history of Utds record in the premier league particularly at this stage of the season who would have given city a chance.

I've watched united for years now and like most people who watch the EPL, Utd once they get into this position rarely if ever give it up.

If city with all their resources couldn't account for a utd team with a mixture of kids, old men, and a lot of injuries, then really, they would never have won the league.

But I just know most people on here aren't interested in the football or seriously analyzing it, just winning an argument and jumping on a bandwagon.

Yes it was Fergie who got on to Mancini first about talking to the officials, Fergie says he was at the ref and the official all game. Bit rich coming from Fergie alright, but the pic posted makes it look like Mancini is the aggressor when it was very clear that Fergie was

Well as a football man I'm shocked that you've clearly forgotten about 97/98 when Arsenal came from 11 points behind to win the title. Also how about 2001/02 when Arsenal came from 8 point back (where have we heard that before?) or 2009/10 when Chelsea came from 9 points back.

Now do I need to tell you what team was overhauled on all 3 occasions? I'm sure as a football man you know.

Seriously, stop all the flapping and make it easy on yourself. You got it wrong, no shame in it.

So City fans are bandwagoners now. City and their resources - lol. Ya poor Man Utd. What did Fergie spend last summer, over £50m. I for one am glad there is now another club with cash to compete with Utd on the financial front. Utd have been at the top of the financial charts for ages in the EPL, good to have some competition.

Sgt Pepper 64 · 01-05-2012 2:00pm

(Deep sigh, followed by embarrassed sheepish look)

I am the OP, and "I GOT IT WRONG!!"

Yes, fair play to City, but in my defence, who among you could honestly say otherwise, that City were too far behind Utd and it looked like a foregone conclusion? Eh, Eh?

Well thats the beauty of sport and football, I suppose, it aint over til the fat lady sings!

So win or lose, Mancini will not be sacked and that was my point really. Chelsea and Roman would have had him gone by now, but Citys owners seem a little more patient

Utd could still win it, but my original question has been answered, he wont be sacked even if they do still lose it

thank you and good night

Exactly. Plasmaguy isn't wrong yet for all the slagging he's getting.

If United win at home to Sawnsea, as they ought to, that puts all the pressure back on City in the 4:00 game as they've a much tougher game away to Newcastle and it'll be a must-win. That will test them just as much as last night's game as the pressure will be a massive since it will almost certainly be a title-sealer if they win, and the title gone if they don't.

edit: thought the united game was on first but apparently not

I'm sure if I looked back over this thread I'd find people who when city were 8 points down, didn't even bother posting to say it was over.

A couple of people alright said City had a chance, and if City do go on to win the title, I have no problem apologizing to them.

As for people who didn't write anything, hung back and then just post sh*te about people getting it wrong, they aint worth my time.

why would you apologise? All you did was express your views as a "footballing man"?

You should probably apologise for the bandwagoners comment because it sounds pretty idiotic coming from a fan of the manchester uniteds!
