Straight question.

Do you think he dropped a bollock foring Bellers out.

I'd have sung his name had I been there, shocking decision.

he'd have made a difference, especially with Mario and Ade unavailable. However, he'd probably have played on Wednesday, so wouldn't have been fit anyway.

I think the chants were more a dig at the manager. One step before the 'Mancini out' ones start, which will surely follow if the boredom continues

I don't think Bellers is the be all and end all of our problems, it's more a point being made that Mancini is pissing all over good players to do things "his way".

Yet his way is boring, one dimensional and not as effective as were all expected, considering money spent, our squad, his pedigree etc./

Alas, Craigs knees are no longer up to the task.

The Bellamy song was purely to make a point, there were also chants of "You dont know what you're doing" and "Sven Goran Eriksson" coming from the back of the South Stand.

Its all fair do's, they were simply showing displeasure.

The fans have the right to sing what they want, so i suppose it is all fair do's. Doesn't fucking help matters though when it is at half time, or during a game.
Once again our support was shit. In fact support is the wrong word.

I applaud anybody who bought a ticket after seeing the derby mid week.

It was a 1am KO here and I drank 2 coffees knowing it was gonna be a snooze fest and not wanting to fall asleep.

Think about that for a moment. I am a fanatical city fan and I actually had to take precautions knowing I'd be bored! I never felt that ay when we had SP, which might be becaUSE we were skint, but none the less, it's not great is it?

Had Bellamy played loads of games and scored loads of goals then I might be inclined to agree that we made a mistake by loaning him out.

However, he is struggling to make any sort of impact in a lower league.

Dunne and Ireland also failing to live up to expectation. Mancini had good foresight on all accounts there.

Like I said Bellamy is more a symbol of Mancinis fuckups.

He's not the saviour, but he's another good player fucked over as he's not in Mancini's best 11 that need to be fit for us to play.

But if he's not doing it for a lower league for a club he has emotional ties to then Mancini was right not to have him in our current squad. Singing his name was a good way to show Mancini that we are not happy to see football of this (lack of) quality. I do believe Mancini will get us to where we want to be, I am just not enjoying the journey and I am glad he now knows this.

Why would you applaud folk for not being fickle? Hardly praise worthy to pop along to a 3pm kick off on a sunny Saturday.

dropped a massive bollock. fucking stupid to allow him to go.

Bellamy would easily get in the current team & we would be much much better on the counter attack than the current lumbering efforts. We would also have another talisman to go with Tevez & DeJong. He would also play in the very role which Bob says we are lacking when Balotelli doesn't play. He would nick a goal in games like today. He would lift the crowd by his efforts.

All in all it's right up there with the worst decisions ever by a City manager.

Yeah I know we would jump at the chance to be there, perhaps a tad melodramatic. Point is though they must have had an inkling we were gonna be shit.

I chanted Bellamy from the south stand and whilst it was primarily frustration with Mancini there is a real point. We need a fast talismanic player (even an off form SWP might have made a difference yesterday) but Bellamy fits the bill and with Mancini not getting all the targets he wanted in the Summer to let Bellamy go was unwise and based on emotion not common sense.

Bellamy is not playing well enough where he is, how can people say he would be our saviour if he isnt doing it in the lower leagues now.

These same people were all crying out for Johnson last week, when he does get the chance look how bad he can be (on more occasions than people like to remember)

The grass is not always greener, people use ifs and buts such as Bellamy to criticise whats actually happening but the proof of the pudding is rarely as desired, Bellamy would not improve this.

What do you base this opinion on?

This is just complete and total sense. Spot on Ted. Mancini just could not handle him. I get paid well to handle difficult people, Mancini gets about as much per week to handle footballers. And he's obviously crap at it. So he should fuck off, today. There are mnay reasons why he should fuck off, now I think about it more.

if we had bellerds then he would have been on for balotelli straight after the yellow.

we would of had both available for this or the derby and could of been sitting 4 points higher in the league not to mention the points we've already dropped against shit teams.
