It looks like Mancini has totally flipped after a bad challenge by Mario who then proceded to give it back to the boss.

Let's just wait for the 'arm around the shoulder' photo shoot this afternoon.

Don't care what Balo has done what the fuck is Mancini's problem?!!! Is he not a professional? What must the other players think when they see their own boss scrapping with one of their colleagues?!!

I'd imagine if it wasn't Mario and was another player who made the bad tackle Mancini wouldn't have tried to scrap with them!!

One thing is for sure now, we can't use the 'Fergie's cracking up' taunt for a long long time!

Rumour is that Mancini was heard shouting "Mario, you could have killed him!!!"

We know Balotelli is a nutball, that much has been clear for a very long time, but similarly it is not a great image for the club to see its manager openly trading blows with one of the players; yes, this does go on at clubs up and down the country, but nobody's training sessions in the world appear to be as bloody public as ours are, hence why City are constantly have to clean up this type of manure all the time.

By the looks of things, the many miles of additional rope that Roberto has afforded Balotelli above all others in the club, will eventually be the very same rope he hangs himself with as City manager.

I am sure the senior powers at City, regardless of Balotelli's culpability, will not take kindly to the manager being shown in such pictures and in such light. Add this to the CL showings and this seasons under-par points total and Mancini is signing his own exit warrant with every passing day.

That's the most diplomatic & loyal thing I've ever read, & the fuckers won't trust you enough to let you stand inside the fence ?

Nice one Doug.

The fences are pretty high but there are gaps which can be seen through when they train on certain pitches and it's wide open for the photographers on the far side which is ok for pictures from another pitch.

Gary Neville just tweeted that the lack of privicy at the training ground needs sorting. We've all known this for a while yet it continues to allow our club to be portraid in a bad light.

To be fair Mancini must shoulder some of the blame today by the sounds of things.

Is John Guidetti fit now? Maybe this would be his magic moment at the club!

He is fit but as he hasnt played any games he is far from fully fit or match fit.He is effectively at the end of his pre season training. But yes you would think he might have a chance now of getting on the bench soon at least

I just hope people give the lad a break if he turns like a battleship for a while & don't just write him off. (Why am I even bothering, of course they will write him off).

I'm gonna be right on his case if he ever gets that fat arse into a game.

Naturally Mario will take the majority of the flack for this but Mancini needs to get a grip.

You may scoff, but I bet at least one fucker behind me will be on his case within 5 mins ;)

That's the problem mate, he did!

If they're anywhere near you then they must all be miserable bastards anyway ;-)

I only offer encouragement at the games.

I tell the truth on here, where they can't hear me.

6/10 for that mate

But seriously, does bobby not know that the vultures are out there with the cameras waiting for any sign of disharmony in the camp. Well done gaffer, you really cocked up today.

FFS if we were looking to sell him this window, we've just gone and fucked off any bargaining strength we might have had. again!!

to be honest i just wrote him off based upon the conjecture in your post that he *may* turn slowly. I've seen enough based upon that to [strike]no[/strike] know better than to get my hopes up. Guido out.

cheers

EDIT: can't even pull a Wonderwall and blame autocorrect. I'm just lazy, and somewhat stupid it seems. FACT.
