I did. I was just being silly about all the Goals coming from the throw ins that each side will force against eachother.
In reality, Stoke will win 2-1 because we'll bottle it.

Hi Garry,I just wanted to shake your hand and ask you a question.I go to COMS as mucha as possible but sometimes I cannot leave the house as Sophie.....sorry..Sophie is my Cat...... needs a carer when Im away and sometimes I cannot find one.
My question is ; Is it possible to bring Sophie to matches at COMS in her kitten box and can she come in for free?

Whilst I think this is another case of the title sensationalising the story two things have surprised/ disappointed me. Firstly the fact that the club would publish something as derogatory as that on the front page.
Secondly, and if MCF.net has taught me anything it has taught me to only believe quotes in stories like these, is this: "we will prepare for a different game and not play our football". A little part of me is excited that we won't be playing the "football" we so eloquently practised in the last three matches, but something tells me that Mancini has very different thoughts than I do.

Don't give a monkeys how aesthetically pleasing the tie is, or how pretty our footy is. The object of the exercise is to get through the tie and stay in the comp.
What I do want to see is our manager and players hang there balls out there and be positive and actually go for the win, not pile 10 behind the ball all the time and go out meekly without having a go.

I just don't think we have, physicality wise, the players to play Stoke at their own game.

I would fuckin love it if we played a load of midgets against Stoke. Fuck the result, watchin a team full of umpa lumpa's in City kits lungin into Stoke would be worth the entrance fee alone.
We'd have to resort to an 8 11 formation during Stokes throw-ins though so they can all stand on each others shoulders, but its a risk worth takin.

Sounds like he has said it as a wind up to put them off their game.There is no way we will resort to the same game as Stoke so it's chill time and watch us go there and win.
They won't have trained today I don't think ( not those who played most of Sunday anyway) but I will see what they get up to tomorrow. I think I should ask Kidd if he would like me to follow mancini's words and say we have been practicing the high balls all the time.

Can't see us trying to play like Stoke. I hope he meant something else like play with their mentality and determination.

Just when I started to think he might actually know what he is doing...in one day he ruins it all
Firstly his handling of the Tevez absence which has been, and continues to be, a fucking disgrace....and just the most incredibly stupid piece of man management I have seen in the last few years. Hughes got crucified for his "mis-management" of the sporadically productive and very disruptive Elano....and I don't see the same people murdering the scarfed spastic for this balls-up (nor whatever happened with Bellamy).
Then this....brilliant Roberto. Why don't we try a new game plan against the team in the league that is best at (and best suited to) that particular gameplan. You fucking clueless twat. Fuck off out of my club

Ah I don't want him fired if I'm honest but he has me tearing my bloody hair out. If you'd asked me before I had seen them in action who would likely be the more stubborn and poor man manager I'd have said Hughes....every time. I can't believe that he came out with that "I have ordered him back from Argentina" bollocks re Tevez. The guy's new daughter has been in intensive care unable to breathe on her own. If my boss tried to tell me to do that, and I knew just how important I was to him, I would tell him to go fuck himself. Even if I wasn't indispensible (which Tevez certainly is) I would tell him where to go. A child with its life in the balance vs a game against Chelsea. I mean get fucking real you dozy scarf clad motherfucker.
And the football is shit.

As we're now all pretty experienced Mancini-watchers, it is clear that VERY often the guy doesn't mean what he says. In fact I go so far as to say he tells direct porkies in his interviews, even allowing for the language difficulty.
So anyone getting hysterical about a latest quote needs to get a grip.
