In the end he got sacked for 'having no rapport with the fans' - Maybe we should learn from this and decide what our priorities are.

There are no prizes for entertainment you know?
I like to see you go and watch City in freezing temperatures to play that type of football? Regardless of the result you'd be pretty unhappy.
Im not saying im not happy with winning, because at the end of the day 3 points is 3 points and like Alex said we are 5th with a game in hand.

I think many of the City crowd place quite some emphasis on being entertained.....see the decline in attendances under Stuart Pearce if you need further evidence of that.
You are actually allowed to criticise City under Mancini you know mate. Just because you campaigned long and hard for Roberto and he is your chosen one, you are still allowed to see faults. In fact I'd put a lot more store in your opinions if you did so.
At the moment you are coming across as some kind of fucking Moonie who is incapable of seeing the blatantly obvious as you seek to validate the fact that you were right and that Mancini is indeed the man for the job. It's ok mate, we're supporting him, we are not going to start a Mancini OUT campaign....you chose well but we were fucking pap last night.....that you can't see that or refuse to acknowledge it is, frankly, laughable

I've seen City in freezing temperatures. Weather has got little to do with it (I've seen more football games in sub zero conditions than probably anyone here).

Given where we are in the league at the moment i would have snapped your hands off if you had offered me that at the beginning of the season. 5th with a game in hand & 5 points off 3rd will do me. Some big games coming up though which will define our season imo.

Dear Mr Fish
I recommend a new fangled craze....it's called "reading". Give it a go and then let us know what your answer is..... ;-)
"Im not talking about the result. This is just based only on our performance yesterday.
Whos happy to play like that for the rest of the season?"
