http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...ty-a-tougher-game-than-Manchester-United.html Don't know why Mancini is using us for his mindgames. If he thinks statements like this will allow him to big up a victory he is expecting it will come back to bite him on the a**e when we show his overpaid prima donnas what team spirit is all about.
What did you want him to say? Oh i won't be happy unless we hit 6? I would have thought that its a great compliment to your club!
The article seems to suggest that for big teams, man city will be fully focused, but for teams you expect to beat, then concentration lapses and you can get a bad result. In effect he's saying if we are on the ball, then we will beat Norwich without a problem
Yeah he probably is. Can't really see where he is taking the piss, but it does make you want to beat the feckers all the more
I have no problem with him saying it will be a tough game - it will be. It is dragging us into the mindgames with Ferguson by comparing us against Man Utd that I object to.
Not being funny, but if you are playing one of the contenders near the end of the season of course you will be brought up in the mind games of it all. This just smacks of another whinge, you lot whinge if Swansea get talked about more than you in the press, you whinge if somebody says that they will beat you easily and now its because somebody has said that if they are not on their game that you will beat them! for christ sake enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surely you can't blame Mancini for trying to play mindgames with the past master and maybe using you lot as a bit of collatoral damage! I think you are either naive or need to grow a thicker skin.
We are involved in the mind games regardless because we have to play the match. The more intereseting mind game is between us and Man City. Let's not forget that Lambert locked the players in the dressing room after the away game, and Lambert has a habit of getting revenge on teams that have beaten us - different circumstances, but Colchester anyone?
the jedi mind tricks won't work on Lambert, no need to worry at all.. also, we've Delia as our secret weapon at half time
I expect us to go out and give them a damn good game. We are safe and can have a real go with no real fear, a nice position to be in. The mind games champion is SAF with 'Arry and Spurs being the latest victim, it does not concern us.
In some ways Man City are the underdogs.We could get beat 7-1 and it would only be pride that was damaged.If they get held to a draw that's it for them,and probably Mancine too. £350million to finish second?
I agree in some ways that Man City stand to lose more but saying that I would be very surprised if Mancini will lose his job if he loses this game. After the results the other night I would imagine them to be even more determined to win and put pressure on Utd.
