tevez was brought on with practically no game time i blame mancini for the arsenal defeat, he should have no problem getting that team in the right frame of mind to go out and win. we looked scared shitless and was piss poor.


how are you so sure that tevez was fit enough to play more minutes in a high pressure match?

we are not the manager ffs, so we don't know the reason behind every decision.

and yes I am expecting a reaction.

Tevez has already played twice for more minutes in high pressure matches. We came back from several goals behind.

Why's that?

We are still second favourites. We are going to finish in our highest position since 1977. No pressure on us at all. Everything to gain in fact.

Now that I think about it you're right. And Bob's post match comments were probably aimed as much at our players as they were the scums. Keep it cool and the pressure on the back burner. Roll on norwich!

Strictly speaking it is only half on.. like as much as you would have to be a good team and try and win every game type pressure. Not the same as don't be the one to fuck it up and let the side down pressure.. the type that grips your arse cheeks and stops you running properly or shooting or passing say.

Anyway, the really big difference is the experience of having gone through the debilitating pressure and then seen what happens when you let go of the mental constraint. That if anything is the key, and will if anything change this team into winners. The next games will show that, but Bob is clever enough to keep the fuck it we blew it attitude. The bottom line that we are all well aware of is that these players have it in them to outplay nearly all teams in Europe bar maybe a couple. So apart from an off day it is all in the head.

We just need to play football and enjoy it, nothing else. Ive started a campaign to draft in Harry Rednapp to take over for the rest of the season.

Yep.

Chasing a target when the pressures off mentally must be much easier than leading from the front and getting over the finish line in first.

Especially for novices.

But I cant see Fergie allowing United to mess this up

Norwich really is huge now. We've been presented an opportunity when it seemed impossible. If we win at Norwich on saturday, they'll start to feel the pressure and suddenly Villa won't be such an easy game.

Villa will still be an easy game for the scum but winning at Norwich will be a real statement.It's the ones after that which will become interesting.

I think the pressures getting to the drunken tramp.

The Scot waved his arms around manically on the touchline and also had a running verbal battle with key man Wayne Rooney before eventually getting fed up and subbing the striker.


Hilarious....I fuckign hope they all self combust.

That's what we said about Arsenal away. This was the twist that was. I dunno....it's the hope again, that surge of belief...put it this way, I liked Bobby's aftermatch spiel. Hehe, mebbes....a furious, nervous dichotomy: we shall see.

Hang on hang on, we have to go to Norwich and actually play football first. Let's see if the lads can still remember how to that before we get carried away.

let's not get overboard too soon...
don't forget both paths have been crossed by the only two good pals Mancini has amongst EPL managers, tonight.
I hardly expect any other serious opposition raised in front of Slur before MoN.
but hey, what an italian bandwagoner actually knows? so I expect to be blatantly contradicted in facts!

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...


In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!

One thing I think we take for sure is that the purple faced drunk must be dreading that it comes down to the last match v MoN.

Just because we won at home where we have dropped 2 points so far this season. We should be expecting a win against teams like west brom I don't think many people saw united slipping up (including the players) and tried to put on a performance unaware of the united score
