Y'know, if we get 5 points in the next 3 games - we'll have the same amount of points as last year!
Progress indeed.
5 points in the next 3 games gives us 4th spot and that's progress
There is still a fair way to go as the Everton game demonstrated but Mancini has moved this team forward. You can argue that he could have done it faster or better or that he has dropped a fair few bollocks on the way but if we get 4th spot he has fulfilled his brief and if we get 4th spot and the FA Cup then he has done very well.
Next year we should kick on further given the team will have been bedded in for a season and with the squad tweaked and pruned where needs be. In short whats not to like about City at the moment? Even the football is sublime at times and - oh yes - put the fucking ball in the net!!
Sorry. Mini rant

Play your best XI, EVERY game
How difficult is that to understand???
They're professional footballers: they shouldn't need a 'rest'

petrov wrote:comparing points totals over different seasons is rubbish. Teams change the league changes and this year its being more competitive than last. Thats the bottom line. Ask the Rags would they rather finish with last years points total and come 2nd again or whatever they finish this year and come first. People can say, its not progress but it is. bottom line of the top 6 teams. Only 2 look like matching last years points total in a more competitive and tougher premier league and thats us and Arsenal

Heh heh indeed .... going on the current point rate I'd say it's unlikely that he will match/beat Leslie's points total however he looks most likely to beat his placing position ... all swings and roundabouts ain't it.

playing devils advocate - you could argue that the league is poorer this year, and the top teams haven't found it as easy to beat those further down. so we should have more points, not less.
I would actually argue that the league is poorer this year, but i get your point about comparing.

Not really people can argue the league is poorer but stats suggest otherwise. Its suggests the league is tighter.

I don't think that's entirely fair on this occasion mate, because the first hour was a fantastic performance that was only let down by prro finishing. Had those chances gone in it would have been game over, which tells me Bob got it bang on.
The only gripe I have with him is that he didn't make changes when it was clear as day we were going under.

As soon as I began reading this no insight no intelligence post I knew it would suck. I'm surprised you were able to form a complete sentence.
