Was it the fact that we, Sunderland, beat them? after recieving a hammering for 90 minutes FOR JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (quote from martin tyler) to score the winner? Vincent Kompany and Mario Balotelli missing from the action serving match bans ? Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure at AFCON? What do we think started this minor bad run ? Personally I think it was their defeat to us
There stingy owners wouldn't give that very nice man Mancini enough money to go and buy anyone.. I feel truly sorry for him, having to work under such constraints.. How is he meant to operate with such a miserable budget...Nasty owners. But he has very nice hair.
Manchester City's minor down fall? Top of the premiership by 3 points. I wish we could have a minordown fall like that.
WBA drew 0-0 with them days before you beat them, if anything that started it. I'd be more inclined to say the absence of Yaya Toure has really taken its toll on them. They're not the same without him. With that being said, can't see them just picking up and getting back in their stride once he returns - Mancini is no longer getting decent performances out of Balotelli or Dzeko so too much pressure on Aguero at the minute, they'll crumble - they don't have the bottle. They have had plenty of opportunity to put 10+ points between themselves and us, which they haven't taken, now we're into United territory, where we wipe the floor with everything in sight.
