How many times have you heard that said about United, give up a cup for the league? That just said to me how desperate the media are for United to win it, and us to not.
Mancini is public enemy number 1 as the face of our establishment and is treated accordingly by the press. Maybe this pressure will actually start to tell on United and due to their arse-wipe reporters wanting it so much they are now inadvertently saying that their team is not good enough to do both. Should we follow suit and concentrate on the league, I'm not sure.
Whilst I sympathise and to a degee conceed to the right honarable gentleman, personally I reckon (with regards to para 1) that that is just more mind game bollox. Whilst the league is theres (and our) priority, we know they are a bastid for any double pot chance and are more than capable of trying to pull it off and whilst we are still in that, it means alot to them. They will have Scholes and Giggs for the next leg (so the media can have another 'moment' with the kleenex) and can see a 2-0 win. The media, whilst spouting about Bacon/Manu mindplay have fallen for a lame suckerpunch and are duly being played now they are top, and doing their bidding ... it's almost election type propagander!
(with regards to para 2) I don't think Mancini is enemy number 1, in fact of all the shite I've read and had said to me off mates, people in the street etc about our cash, in the main they quite like Mancini, he's not bad at the mindbollox himself tbh. So summise ... yes, we should go for both as they undoubtedly will and their line up in the return will bear this out ....
You could be right but as I read this I'm listening to the morning paper brief on TS where they've just started off with an article on Tevez and Mancini possibly taking him back. The way it's put across is basically saying Mancini is a man without morals and although they mention 'pragmatist' they then bat it off in a manner to suggest we are desperate. Then follow the Taggart love in, Sir Alex, the Old Man, the slimy sniggering of 'The Master of Mind Games' comments sliver from their tongues. Yes, Mancini bought some credit with the Tevez situation but remember when the card waving incident happened, they were all over him like a flash and it's only the manner in which Mancini holds himself that they don't give it him more. He plays the media and gives them no stick to beat him with.
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".
