Now there was a problem there undoubtedly with Tevez but should he not have spoke with him first and then maybe worked something out with him? Obviously needs to be warned officially bit think the path of action was not great,
Also with ade, maybe try and work things out with him instead of slating him a mardy arse who is lazy and can only think about his pay packet? Instead ask if there is a problem try to rectify the problem and if the only solution is a sale then so be it.
I hope I've made my point a little clearer then before, I just feel maybe it's more than just a coincidence that these players say the same thing about bobby being arrogant man.
Also I am not on here I can assure you to be little city as I am a true blue and have been for many years, just to clear that up lol.


so you are English but have poor English.

Broken fuclin Britain taken to a whole new level.

In hindsight you are probably right about Mancini's emotional reaction post-Munich match interview, but i'll take him with all his passionate rough edges. It's how we all felt as fans.

cheers


After what your country has done to my language I think you should shut up. Broken America! Apart from that, fire away. The newbie has issues with Bobby that need sorting out far more than his English. At least he isn't banging on about Bellamy!

Adie clearly went a bit nuts after the shooting incident. The club gave him lots of support but Bobby finally lost patience. Bobby also presumably spent a massive amount of time trying to teach him the offside rule and he still couldn't get it! His problem with Ned is a football one I think, Ned's mum getting Cook sacked actually suited Bobby's agenda quite well. Tevez he bent over backwards for for 18 months and then the sulky little twat couldn't believe he wasn't first choice any more just because he was the odd stone overweight. He was maybe a bit rash with what he said as it cost the club money on the transfer fee but the respect he gained us as a club worldwide with his stance was probably worth more than that in the long run. Just a shame short term for the FFP.

Bobby doesn't waste his time on what he views as lost causes, it is part of what makes him the man he is. We have to accept it and see it as a strength more than a weakness. Incidentally, Mourinho is also well known for freezing out players he doesn't take to. Just ask Mario or SWP!!

I do agree that mancini's choice of the starting line up is brilliant at times, I understand that there had got to be some discipline in camp just tend not to agree that the choices made are not the correct ones, that's all. Apart from that his choice of players is outstanding but also agree with a earlier comment about him being to proud to sell a bad buy. I do honestly say colorov, omg, shit!!! I could say the same about dzeko but think he is a confidence player and think he has got a lot more to prove in England.

Edin, would not go along with that. He was flying until rotation kicked his form into touch, if you are scoring you never need a break.

He did all he could for Tevez but to say it was similar for Adebayor is nonsense. He didn't want Adebayor & wouldn't play him. I think he got it wrong with some players last season but it's his decision, the club has rightly backed the manager on these issues & whether or not they could have helped us last season, we improved at the end of it, are top of the league now & Mancini seems to be happy to move on his own signings if they don't do what he expected, so I don't see how anyone can complain about what he's doing now.

i think you are right about Cook and Bobby.

I did not realize that you created the English language...i thought it was something the Germanic tribes and the Norse vikings/Normans helped you fuclers fix, since you couldn't do it for yourselves.

We've taken "English" to a whole nother level, yo.

Would be interesting if PSG could get Tevez and pair him up w/ Drogba for a season or two. In form, it would be one of the best (or at least the most powerful) strike partnerships that I could think of right now.

Hate to say this but the Normans are Norsemen and came from scandanavia, they were a bit like the 'Borg' ( no pun intended) and when they conquered they assimilated into the customs of that country. William the Conquerer being the most famous, from an English point of view.
Oh and Tevez, please just fuck off

Oh and Tevez, please just fuck off


The Borgs are the other way around. They assimilate the people they conquer into the Borg culture/society, they are not assimilated into the conquered culture.

Apart from that you're right. The Normans were often related to leading Anglo-Saxon families on the other side of the channel, and spoke the same language, although the Scandinavian the initial Normans spoke was quickly forgotten and replaced by French.
