Your MCFC bete noire

Fowler. Fucking fowler!

He was supposed to be the final peice of the jigsaw, we even passed on Pauleta!! I wanted to take him into a field and put him down!

and he missed that pen on purpose

[clawbaggio]

Clichy. Never closes his man. Always stood 4 yards off and lets a cross come in. Never puts a cross in himself. Great pace but runs up his own arse

[Patrick]

Tevez - great, but i will never forget

[Swales4ever]

Think I must welcome back the return of paddy on the main forum, with an sensible remark which I endorse completely.

Tbt, it's hard to blame Carlito on any decision the iranian snake have fabricated through his name, but still he's officially registered as a grown man....

[Im_Spartacus]

City fans cheering their manager on shocker!!!! Have we never sang a song week in week out for a shite player we've had? It's called supporting your team. That's nothing to do with if they overrate Mancini or not.

If Mancini wins the FA Cup this year then that's three trophies in three years. I'm sure people are within their right to claim he's done OK.

Go and read back over what I wrote when you're sober. Because suggesting he's overrated by the City fans who 'sing his name week in week out' is ridiculous.

Its about someone who lots of people rate, who you don't.

Many rate him, I don't.
Many can see no faults, I do
I therefore think many overrate him

Is that ok?

No it's not okay. Because as I've said, I don't think he's rated by many!

[Blue Since 76]

Have you heard of Zabbadabbado?

[Im_Spartacus]

I don't think you're right

[Mase]

Have you heard of Zabbadabbado?

Yes.

Silva.
Since the second half of last season he has been on the decline of us and we haven't seen him hit the form he had in the previous two seasons.
Last season at the start he was unplayable and really threatened to push on and be classed as one of the very best in the world but he's gone in the opposite direction.
He also needs to learn how to shoot and put his foot through a ball. The amount of times when it opens up for him and then he passes rather than shoots and the move breaks down is too frequent. That's what Mata has over him imo.
Still a quality and fairly young but he really needs to kick on next season.

Do you genuinely think Mata is a better player? Honestly? I don't think there is a more overrated player in the Premierleague than Mata.

Before any boring bastard shows me that he's got the most assists in the league so far, I'd like to point out that Damien Duff has five less than him, Podolski has three less than him, and Walcott is two behind him. I personally wouldn't take any of the three at City.

Yes, he's up there. He's much more of a goal threat than our David. Silva at his best is better than Mata but he hasn't hit his best often enough this season. I can't think of many games this season where after we all said 'Silva was outstanding today'

Has the potential to be amongst the world's best but needs to show it more.

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

Good to see a few DHTP posts...it's been a while. Where are you now fella??

Laid out with kidney ache and meat sweats after my mates' wedding yesterday.

I was hoping Mase would have wordmilled into me so that I'd have something to do.

[walmai]

And think he can only take you lot so far.

You can say that about any manager at any club though, can't you? Or perhaps the Masticator will have you pushing on into the Champions League places?

I just don't warm to the bloke.

I think we are a bit nearer here, aren't we? A personal dislike is fair enough, given this is the bete noire thread.

Sorry, its not right to just characterise it as personal dislike - its aspects of what he has and hasn't done that prompted the suggestion he was over-rated. The imaginary card-waving was juvenile. The crumbling of his position over Tevez also showed weakness.

His record in Europe this season was pretty farcical, notwithstanding the strength of the group you found yourself in.

To the outsider, an FA Cup final - against a team wracked with injuries and probably going down - and a distant 2nd best in the league just doesn't seem particularly praiseworthy, given that these two competitions were all he had to think about from New Year's Day onwards.

As for what Allardyce does, what difference does that make? I don't expect any of you on here to give two toms about him, tbh!

Walmai. his record in europe , or City's for that matter is not important. The CL is just the icing on the cake. The PL and the FA Cup are far more important. These mean things like 'bragging rights' .

Most City fans don't hold conversations with people from Europe, but with Rags. Most if whom are annoying with their arrogance and blinkered view of things.

City were in a great group and had six thoroughly enjoyable games, even if things didn't go our way this time.

The way the club is now set up , CL success is only a matter of time, it will come.

Don't be fooled by the opinions of a few sages on here. Mancini is widely respected and very much so by the City fans.

Love Big Sam me, the dumpling headed envelope stuffer. Loves headers, knows his way round the transfer market, builds solid teams, understands women, considers Kevin Nolan a model pro - what's not to love. He achieves all Pulis does with less than half the budget, a cheeky smile and a mere 10% for his trouble.

Think you should look at more than the number of assists he has made.
Think him and our David together with Yaya would be to much for anybody.

[Yaya Toure is a LAD]

Nasri, he only ever puts in a good shift when he wants, he can be really lazy at times as well.
Yes, he's in good goal scoring form atm, but consistency is his big let down

I'm not interested in the amount of wanks he has a day though.
