What a gash game at City ![]()
Both teams too frightened of losing. Only good point was that our back 4, with Kompany & Lescott playing alongside each other for the first time, looked more comfortable than at any time this season

City employ Tevez and pay his wages. They're entitled to demand him back, especially if he's gone AWOL.

The BBC portray the club in a more understanding light.
news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 527916.stm
I've got plenty of sympathy for Tevez but can understand Mancini's position.
Clearly the player must put his family first and needs to be with his wife and child whilst her life is in danger. The question really is what happens once her life is out of danger. It seems to me to be very unlikely that the child will be able to travel to the UK any time soon. And you can understand that, after what they've been through, Carlos will be very reluctant to leave his family in Argentina and return without them.
I can understand Mancini's frustration at not knowing when the player will return, particularly as it seems that the club have been told that she is out of danger. And it may be that Mancini's english isnt good enough to appreciate how harsh the term "order" sounds. But ultimately there's little point in Tevez returning if his mind is going to be elsewhere and no point destroying the relationship between Tevez and City/Mancini. |

WTF is with South American players and .ing off home whenever they want? I know Tevez' wife has had pregnancy problems, but Robinho, Ronaldo, Adriano and I think Ronaldinho have all just gone AWOL before. Probably some more I don't know about too. |

Why is it that players and shout at the referee for a decision against them, but a manager can't express his views after the match? I ask because the Sunderland manager has been punished after his game against City when he criticised the ref after the match.

i recently stumbled across this article from days gone by rlbiggest wastes of money in football historyrl Bearing in mind this was written in 2001, i'm sure we can come up with more recent examples, and some better ones from days gone by. seth johnson and thomas brolin of leeds would get my vote, perhaps of the two it would be johnson, who neatly sums up the spending madness that went on in the ridsdale era. not sure how much bosnich cost man utd but he would be up there too

We've always been dire at transfers, but I think we're slowly getting better. Johnson is one of the worst signings we ever made. Even when he signed I remember people saying 'Why the f-ck have we signed him?' and my next door neighbour didn't even know who he was. |

| Quote: Lord God Jose Mourinho "www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_5973383,00.html
Keith Harris - United fans have to boycott games.
"Getting the money together is the easy bit. But we can't make an offer until the Glazers are placed in a position where they are forced to consider it."
I disagree with that. If the money is in place, they should make an offer to the Glazers now. The Glazers know that they are massively unpopular at MU, they'll know that boycotts are possible in the future if they don't sell up, an offer should be made just to see what the Glazer's reaction is.
If the Glazers then dismiss the offer without even discussing it, that is the time to boycott games to force them out. It just seems stupid to jump straight to a boycott without making an offer first. Why have a war if you don't need one?'"
I know what you are saying but lets say the Red Knights only have £1bn to buy out the club and they make that offer but the Glazers tell them to come back with something around the £1.2bn mark but the extra funds arn't available. Now if the fans start to boycot and damage the products value the Glazers may be more willing to accept a lower price for the club just to get rid. |

I love the story about Johnsons contract negotiations.
Seth Johnson goes into the boardroom with his agent to discuss his contract, they went in saying "Ask for £20,000, settle for £15,000." So they went in, and they were offered £25,000. "WHAT?" Seth Johnson replied, obviously shocked at how good the deal is. Then Ridsdale replied, "Ok then, £35,000" Thinking Johnson was unhappy at the terms. 
I think we got Bosnich on a free transfair |

Agree 100% re Lescott and Kompany. Hoefully Toure will not get his place back.
As for the game, I thought we shown a fair bit of ambition. Just that Liverpool defended superbly. They had an excellent defensive shape and they worked extremely hard.
City were much better than they were against Stoke, Portsmouth and Hull. |
