Robertos Mind games

[bigblue]

The battle of the mind games is at full strength right now.

Mancini recently: "I don't have a message for Sir Alex. If I did it would only be 'Congratulations for your season and for this title'!"

Fergie recently: This is the biggest derby ever.

Each are trying to pile the pressure on the other and the other squad.

do you have a link where he said that? I want to see Roberto's smooth delivery

I think he's playing it very cool by relaxing the pressure on our players it's helping them but I think against wolves they sensed they were back in with a chance and nearly bottled it, don't think I've got the nerve to watch the game on monday.

Ha ha ha, I like those sentiments. Being afraid is natural but beating those fears is what will make us as fans the strength that drives us on.

Mancini is doing really well and I don't think we started to bottle it yesterday, we just needed the goal. With the amount of chances we had from the off it looked as though it wasn't one of those days, especially for Sergio. But we kept on and Aguero showed what he's made off, the ball from Clichy just being pure class. What you've got to remember is that we were away from home against a battling Wolves, this was there last chance and they weren't going to give up infront of their loyal fans. We've not quite got that Rag factor yet and they will run all day to at least show they tried.

Very nice post though mate, it shows how hard and how much this season has taken out of us.

Yeah I suppose lol, in pretty much every game this season my heart has been pumping I don't think one game has gone by where I've fort ah this ain't bothering getting in to, every game is the same even when it looked like the title had gone I still believed we could do it and still do till we actually can't win it I won't give up the hope, but to be honest finishing second is an achievement even IF we don't win it we have come so far so quick that we should be up and around there for years to come.

Fuck the mind games just anhialate them next monday and show the rest of the league how fucking shit they are.

Annihilate - a superb word that should never be said in anger ;-|

Love ya man x

That is a PALUS-esque sentence you got there

[Ted Hughes]

As was said on the radio this morning, Bob is saying its over to the press because that is what the press have been saying for the past few weeks. A kind of, "Well you fuckers were the ones who said its over, so ever time you ask me I'll quote you!"

If we do win the league I can see him reeling out the line again when interviewed just to take the piss and give a big two fingers to the press.

I wish.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. He (& everyone connected with City) can see what ( most of ) us can see, which is that every media outlet has been pushing and pushing the rag propaganda which has stated that their 'experience' will count, we are not a team & they will win it.

They were sending out a player, past or present, to say that just about every day, all their pet journos were repeating it over and over. Then Mancini agreed with them & suddenly they're going "woah, it's not over yet !!" they don't know what they're supposed to say ! Nobody has briefed them for it.

Since then, the propaganda level has dropped by about 1000% and their results have dropped with it.

He's absolutely shoved Ferguson's mind games up his arse.

Whatever happens, you'll be back next season. Young or old, win or lose, it's just the way it is.

I love how he calls out the media for writing that the race is finished 2 weeks ago. like was said above, I think he's just mocking them the whole time

[littlebig]

Andy Burton: so Roberto, how does it feel to be league champions?

Bobby: eez not important, united is champions and we have no spirit.

Andy burton: but roberto you've won it.

Bobby: united is always the winner, always.[/quote]

It actually gets funnier the more I hear it. We're not Rag twats so we don't have to worry about it until next year.

[one man army]

“If United win 10-0 against Swansea and win 2-0 against Sunderland, we can win 1-0, 1-0, 1-0 and we’ll still finish in second place!”

roberto is trying to piss swasea off again lol! he already said in post-match interview that city have more difficult games ahead. haha i think rodgers will seriously want to prove how wrong mancini is :)) let's hope it's gonna work :D

Ted >>>>He's absolutely shoved Ferguson's mind games up his arse.

Ha ha. What a lovely expression, it made me titter.
Bacon Face needs to sort out his mind....Overcoat, stay baggies and black trainees? All he needed was a bottle of 'Buckie' to complete the look, the piss stained auld tramp.

The day clubs can negotiate their own tv deals is the day the rag bias dies for ever and mind games become history.The only reason mind games exist is because of Sky and the BBC and also to some extent the written media but once the cash cow for the rags in the form of Sky and BBC is taken away the tabloids will have to start working for a story.

Its also the day they make a fucking fortune worldwide selling their own rights ala Madrid and Barca.

Be careful what you wish for.

Yep, spot on. It will be a bad day for English football when it happens.

[littlebig]

Mancini has done pretty well in the mInd games dept so far

Id take the rag bias to stop them getting nigh on 150 million smackaroons every year.
Thats a tasty transfer budget right there just in TV deal.

[Ted Hughes]

Apparently Ferguson has slapped a ban on player interviews in the run up to the derby.

He clearly hasn't thought up anything new for them to say after Bob has turned the "we won't crack" & " we've got the experience" & of course the " City aren't a team " cliches into comedy gold lines which should have their own laugh track.

[Wonderwall]

Taggart has turned the heat up and I hope mancini doesnt bite at his latest little attempt.

Slur bacon is saying the difference between us is they are trying to win it with youth!

[lets all have a disco]

Bacon turning up the heat,nice work.

Youth? They play with pensioners

[Tokyo Blue]

Why the fuck is this piss-soaked old c@nt on the same level as Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Charles Darwin? Sir William Herschel discovered a planet, for fuck's sake. What has this cunt achieved?

Do the human race a favour and die, you fucking ridiculous, lying, arrogant, drunken, cheating, purple-nosed twat.

Oh, so the old experience card they played for weeks was a lie was it? Sounds like he is making excuses before the event to me
