Tevez now due back Monday.

[Blue Toy]

Isn't it a fine line between love and hate.

[razor400]

Sob fucking sob, if the cunt loves his family so fucking much he should of kept his cock out of 19 year old models, and now the little cunt is getting more time off. Fucking unreal!

[BobKowalski]

Ladyman of the Mail is saying that it was more cock up than anything else. Someone at City got the date of return wrong.

Unusual, not like Ladyman to accuse City of fucling things up.

Tbh, if they are trying to negotiate a deal, it's as good an excuse as any. They're not gping to tell that wanker we're trying to swap him for Eto'o or Sijdney.

[Nijinsky]

Tevez is a City player, and our best one at that.. despite never-ending reports that piss everyone off, myself included, he is still a City player.

I'd not be disappointed if he were to find a new club, before the window ends but at the moment he hasn't. So I hate to see such unanimous hatred towards him. If the worse case is that we keep him and he forms a formidable partnership with Augero, then it is win-win.

[lets all have a disco]

I wonder if cheeky chappy Mario would get the same sort of abuse?
Nobody knows the facts,but hey ho that's how it is when your him.

[Mark Garrett]

Tevez was never ever playing agst Utd in Charity Shield. That was known 2 months ago.

[twosips]

This just means that Vincent Kompany leads us out - and that fucking pleases me a lot :)

[paulmclaren]

He better not start in the prem if he's available, the other strikers will be very unhappy and me too if he does.
And i hope the cunt ain't getting his wages either whilst everyone is out training with the team now, tosser.

I doubt you will be saying that if we lose the game that Mancini benched Tevez in.
He's our best player. Simple.
If he's available he should play. He may be a cunt but he still gives 100% every game.
I'd rather have Tevez play than Dzeko or Balotelli.

[twosips]

I'm genuinely quite looking forward to seeing how Dzeko, Balo, Aguero and co do against United so i'm kinda glad he's not around. We need to know how we're gonna cope when he eventually leaves and games like this, relatively competitive without real meaning, are a good way to see how we'd fare without him.

What kind of monster would do such a thing?

[twosips]

I love how he says 19, as if its scandalous...wasn't Tevez 23/24 when that happened? Pretty normal age gap really..... I say that as my girlfriend is 21 and i'm 25 haha

But yeah, still a dick head.

[xavi6]

The thing for me is that it shows how little interest he has in being part of the squad. If I valued my teammates and if I was part of the group of 'lads' then I would do my utmost to be at the game, even if I wasn't playing.

The fact that he is coming back on Monday (well, meant to be) after the game says it all to me and the sooner we get rid of the disruptivness the better.

I too have got no idea of the facts behind it but the source I'd trust most, the BBC, say the club have given him permission to stay in Argentina.

See the first paragraph here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/14393945.stm

If that is the case, then I am not going to go slagging a bloke off for basically taking his paid holidays in his home country after his employers have given him permission to do so. Especially as I have been known to do the same thing.

[King Kev]

Ian Ladyman of the Mail says that it was always the plan for Tevez to return to training 21 days after Argentina went out of the Copa America.

They went out on 16 July.

[john@staustell]

I would have thought that Bob The Manc has told him to stay away so he doesn't have to face the awkward question of pickin him for the Charity Shield game.

There was no way he was ever going to feature in the Charity Shield once Aguero was bought. Now Mancini can treat Tevez like everyone else because he doesn't need him anyomre.

No one is surprised by this news apart from SSN.

[dick dastardley]

why the fuck should this club bend over backwards for a player that has talked bullshit since hes been here. he always gives 100% bollox i would be pretty pissed of with someone on 250k a week not to give 100% and this shite about his family being too far away it was ok when he was knocking off a couple of birds over here.
carlos do us a favour pay up part of the transfer fee and fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Of course he would. If Mario had stuck in a transfer request halfway through a season I'd wager that he'd get a hell of a lot more stick than Tevez has.

Spot on. We certainly have some fickle fans thats for sure, most on here were sucking Tevez cock 6 mths ago
