Tevez denies refusing to play

[Bridge'srightfoot]

On BBC website, make of it what you will.

[Wooders]

Bollocks - course he did

[bluej]

I'd imagine that someone has been telling him what to say now. I'm sorry but what kind of misunderstanding can there be about getting on a pitch?

[lets all have a disco]

He's trying to sort his shit out so he cant be in breach of contract. Kia will be telling him what to say,its clear Carlos wants us to do a Robinho with him.

[lyons07]

He's just trying to make Mancini look like a cunt now.

Who's going to want to sign him for 50m after this?

[guv111]

Just part of Tevez's personal policy of causing disruption and confusion.

Let's just get on with sueing the little twat and make sure he never sets foot on City property again.

[Slim]

Wait for it to come out that it was a breakdown in communications due to the language barrier.

[Duckman]

can we relate to this as "the munich incident" in the future?

[Chopper]

Maybe he got a boner and was embarrassed to go out there.

[gilford]

This situation is just terrible, I feel so sorry for Mancini. I was screaming at the tv when he made those subs but now, after the explanation, I fully understand his thoughts and had Tevez of come on we could have scored goals.

This must be the worst position to be in for a manager, I hope we deal with it properly and more importantly quickly so as not to look like mugs even more than we do.

This is gross misconduct plain and simple, a suspension is the minimum but I really dont think it should stop there, we should go for the jugular, otherwise what image are we portraying to the world of football?

[Kladze]

Let's be clear on one thing - if the club's hierarchy give even the slightest impression of believing this obvious fabrication from Tevez then Mancini's position becomes untenable and he will walk.

I know who I would prefer to stay.

Spot on. I was calling mancini every name I could think of. Afterwards, on the immediate interview, I thought he was extremely dignified and professional and I realised that he'd been stitched up by Tevez's appalling behaviour. I switched off and hoped that Komps and NDJ would take tevez out the back door and sort him out.

[Blue2]

Sack the twat, withold his registration and sue( if possible)

[CityGer]

Above everything else, all the twatish bevahiour we have seen from him, I'm gobsmacked at his and his slimey 'adviser's' lack of shame.

How they can come out with this is beyond me.

[saulman]

The club should call everyone in today and lay down the law. Anyone associating with Kia Joorabchian, whether in a personal or professional way should be told they will be offloaded in January.

The sooner this cancer is cut from the club, the better.

The Munich Screwjob

[Mike J]

he is obviously a very stupid man. straight after the game ' i wasnt ready to play'

a few hours later 'i was ready to play, i didnt refuse to come on'

TWAT.

[paddyblue]

the munich disaster,will the scum now sing munich songs at us?

Of course he denies it. Actually Kolarov was asking him if he wants to go to Oktoberfest after the game.

Silly cunt.

Yeah, and not like Zabs, Kun or Silva could have translated anything for him if there was.
