Hang on there for one fucking second mate. If you're going to accuse fellow fans of having no pride, then you better also direct your bollox at mancini and manchester city football club, because they made the decision between them.
If you'd rather we finished second for ANY reason whatsoever, then you need to look at yourself long and hard.
Yes, I would rather we finished second to the rags than have to have a load of photos of him holding up the trophy after he scores the crucial goal.
If the club play him, then I'd have to ask where their self respect has gone as well.
As for Mancini, I don't know what pressure he's under to play him or not. For legal reasons others may have decided he has to be picked. For football reasons, Mancini may have decided he wants to pick him, regardless of the view of the owners. Or they may all agree. Either way, if he plays for City again, a little bit of the soul of the club will have died in the pursuit of money or a title.
As I've said before, wanting him back is beaten wife syndrome. Willing to accept the abuse and humiliation because he really loves you, or in this case MAY win the league. Or, as is equally likely, cause us to not win it, due to the problems he's going to cause and there's still no guarantee he'll do it on the pitch, just like he hasn't for the last 14 months.
