The big diffrerence is actually the glue that binds them, Fergie, players come in and out but he gets results anyway and he also creates the mentality and imposes it on the team. Fergie almost always has the beating of the mid to lower table teams and that is themain reason they win so many titles when the rest drops points. Consistently beating those teams even if it is 1 0, the points are in the bag. The difference with City imo is that they have players that can undo a team with an individual effort, a thing that has gotten United by so often in recent years, so often when they were getting nowt from a game,a Rooney Ronaldo Hernandez or a Nani steps up, city have this in their locker, I think for the time this team has been together Mancini is doing a good job regardless of Finances, compared to Chelsea when they invested, they are playing much better footy, even after Jose arrived, will it give them a title? we'll have to wait and see, for me Mancini has them playing nice stuff, the chips are recently down, be interesteing to see how they cope.
I cant wait to see how well the team deal with defeat. That is going to be test for them, winning week in week out and always being on a high is great but how can they pick themselves up after a loss? I am sure they will be fine, it wasn't like they lost to a bottom team and they didn't get destroyed either. Well we will see in a few weeks how well they can handle it.
