Of course not. But I have a feeling one or two "city fans" who have been extremely quiet of late will be making an appearance.

I agree, Ted, but I gave Mancini plenty of abuse for those performances so no reason Pellegrini should get away with it. I wouldn't mind if it was one game, but Cardiff, Stoke, 2nd half at Villa were very similar

I wasn't a Mancini fan, but there's no link to Pellegrini and the results. A shit performance is a shit performance whoever is in charge. And there were lots last season and lots this season.

"He is a cheat and it has obviously come from the management of the club who need to take a long hard look at themselves. I dont condone diving and if my players do it they will be fined and dropped. you have my word on this"
Unlikely i know but wouldnt it be brilliant as even the rag media couldn't argue with that

Will get knocked out in the next round.
Title has gone and on current away form might just scrape into the top four.
If we do not qualify for next years Chumps League the s**t will hit the fan and he will be gone.

I make no bones about I never wanted him here, was happy with Mancini - having said that if a change was to be made it needed to be at least as good as Mancini or an upgrade and the answer was Ancelotti before Real got him.
We instead appointed Pellegrini who has no track record of winning trophies, and who in my opinion is a downgrade on Mancini.
We are on the brink of being out of the title race because to win the league this season, we need to reach 80 points and can afford to lose probably 7 matches - we have already lost 4 out of 11 matches and it is only a few days after Bonfire night.
The defence is all over the shop from crosses, general play, against any pace, counter attacks - the lot.
The protection the back 4 is being given by the midfield is woefully inadequate - this is where playing as a unit, as a team comes into play. Also the ridiculous decision to allow Gareth Barry to go - Barry made it clear he would have been happy as a squad player.
Individual mistakes have led to goals and Pellegrini is not to blame for that.
Attacking wise at home we have been very good, away from home - apart from away to West Ham we have been average to very poor.
Qualification for the Champions Lge Last 16 is progress yes but I anticipate Mancini would have guided us through the same group Pellegrini has faced in Bayern, CSKA Moscow, Victoria Plzen.
Carragher is spot on - he said, "City should be qualifying from an easy group like this." He went on to say how organised, solid and difficult to beat the team was under Mancini during his reign, every away game it seems like we are wide open.
I am thoroughly pissed off with how the season is going, really thought this season the league is there for us to grab it and boss it and we are fucking it up royally - 8th in the league after 11 matches says it all and just 19 points. United have been so average and they are above us for fucks sake.
Some fans may be starstruck by some of our football and rightly so but scratch beneath the surface and all is not well, to win leagues, you have to scrap, dig out results, battle when you are not playing well, both at home and away. This City team is nowhere near that at the moment if you compare to when we won the league in 2011-12, and until Pellegrini sorts out our defending, makes us difficult to beat away from home, we are going to have more days like this for the rest of the season.
In my opinion we won't win the league, and if Pellegrini carries on as he is, we are going to have a real scrap to finish top 4. He isn't the man to take us forward at all.
