I'm just pleased he's our manager.


Agreed. That article was quite pro City which is very unusual from the American version of "Click Manchester"




Think that's a bit harsh.I think people just slag it of cos it's not written by professionals(like the Mail,Sun and Star are).However I think people do plenty of research before submitting anything to be published and the quality is as good say for example as the match previews on here which are fine

Love the mind games bullshit, the rags have been purring for years about taggart and his mind games and were always waiting for the wenger v taggart mind games to start. When Manicini did what he did it was like the press had the blood they were baying for and started up the comparisons with master v pupil etc, but Mancini was exemplary in execution. He had taggart all ends up and he was lost, amazing tactical skills and diversionary tactics that were a big part in us winning the league IMO. Taggart took his eye off the ball.

Bacon's mind games don't exist. He just says something bleeding obvious & the press pick up on it as if it was some piece of absolute genius & they do the 'mind games' for him by pushing & pushing his opponents until they respond, then tell us how wonderful he was to think of it.

Mancini wiped the fucking floor with the lot of them. Now that was a case of mind games.

Now Ferguson is beginning to understand what they actually are.

He winds up and waits for a reaction or for his opponent to squirm trying not to react. simple strategy.

Mancini kept winding, Bacon Face had nothing.

No, they're terrible, because they're terrible. I've seen articles from them outside of football and some of the stuff they write, you wonder what's wrong with them. Granted, they do know how to write decent articles from time to time, but quite often I find myself facepalming.

Same could be said of stuff written by proffesionals who write for The Guardian,Times and Independant for example.

Life is being pretty fair to me at the moment, thank you. Job, flat, girl, champions etc. Thought it was about time for some playful smug cuntery on here, see how I get on.
