Hey NQDP - you started something similar after the slightly negative feel a lot of people had after the first leg of the semi. Surely you understand now why people weren't jumping up and down and celebrating a "fantastic derby win" and didn't automatically hold a "special place in their heart" for Mancini?
I don't expect people to have "special place in their heart" for Robbie Manc but I would think that people are happy when we win.
Apologies mate, maybe it wasn't you that said that in the Mancini thread after we won the first leg, but someone said "Any city manager that wins the derby has a special place in my heart" or something similar...
The thing is, we didn't win a derby IMO, we were winning at half time. Anyway, my point is that I was a bit worried about how we approached that leg and I said so afterwards and you were "baffled" then. I explained that day that although I was happy we won that game, I thought we should have gone for it and not been so cautious from the start because I thought it would come back to haunt us. In fact, we had a row that day because you felt I had an agenda against Mancini for saying such things.... and we went to old trafford and they knocked us out.
Back to the original point though, I like winning and I'm DELIGHTED with today's result. But you asked if I was happy with the game itself and in no way was I happy with the game.
I'm just delighted I didn't pick this game as one of the 4 games I get to every season, because it was horrible to watch.
Actually, now that I think of it... someone else said they weren't happy with the game - Roberto Mancini!
Which should put this argument to rest and also it gives me hope because if he's not happy with the game itself, then it means he doesn't like that style of football and neither do I!
