In the cold light of day the table shows the story of where Man City currently are in the Premier pecking order ... with improvement in the team inevetiable given the short time the team has had to gel. Yes I was disappointed we didn't go for the jugular in the second half ... yes I screamed at Yaya to move ffs :D ... but compared to my frustration at the end of last year's derby games this pales into insignificance. Forza Mancini! Someone has to be looking at the bigger picture and luckily Babby M is doing just that.

Probably another one of the City obsessed Rags who go on website's slagging off Mancini because they are crapping themselves at what trophy winning machine we could become. Whoever he is, he needs to start getting his facts right before he starts spouting his rubbish. On reading his post again you are probably right that he is not a city fan after all.

He did beat Chelsea in this awful run though. Mancini has more points than Hughes did at this stage of the season so your wrong again and as I recall it was as bad in Hughes last 5 games which lead to his sacking. I would put my house on Bobby Manc having many more points than Hughes by his 17th game which is how many Hughes got. I'm not sure if your a City fan as you seem to have made a fair bit up stuff that even a casual fan would know, maybe you just take all your info from the gutter press, but who cares though as the club could do with out your rubbish anyhow.

First of all, he has undoubtedly improved the defence to a degree immeasurably from the days of Hughes. When Mark Hughes parted company with Man City we had played 17 games, had 29 points and had a goal difference of +6, so his free scoring ways were not what you cracked them up to be as well. I'm not quite sure how many we had conceeded by that point but in his last 5 games alone we conceeded 10 goals. So far this season with Mancini we have played 12 games, got 21 points and have conceeded 10 goals with a goal difference of +5. Not to mention the fact we have played our five biggest rivals and kept a clean sheet against four of them. Not only that when Hughes left we were six points off 4th place with an inferior goal difference of about 8 goals. We currently sit in 4th place, 5 points clear of our biggest rival for a Champions league place with a much better goal difference. People also do not seem to realise that in the greater scheme of things we really have come a long way in a very short space of time. Do you not know how bad it was in the final days of Shinawatra, all his money had been frozen and the vultures were well and truly circling. In the two years since the good Shiekh Mansour took us over he has literally come to our rescue and we have improved in every way imaginable, not only that the man is setting the foundations for a glittering era in our club's history in which we will have chances to win every major trophy going, for f**k's sake can some people start enjoying it. Oh well, I could go on but I really don't have the time or the inclination but I just feel you are the kind of fan who is in some way unaware of what is really going on at our great club. Rant Over, I just want some City fans to stop believing the media and get behind the team and Mancini for this season just to see where it can take us. Trust me, you'll be pleasantly suprised.
