Think Fergie has got into Mancini's head without even realising it now ala Keegan and Benitez after this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16821469

I was told by City fans that Everton away wasn't a "tough" away game, and that they're 5 point lead would be hard to catch as they'd played all their "tough" away games. Since got 1 point from Everton, Sunderland and West Brom away. Our next 2 games will be very tough. Think City still have the better finish and will probably edge it though.

United's run in 'on paper' isn't bad is it?

Is it just me, or is anyone else (as a neutral) getting tired of Martin Tyler treating any game where Man City lose like the second coming of Wimbledon's FA Cup win?

Top PL team loses away at mid-table PL team. Hardly worthy of some of the hyperbole he was trotting out last night.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Wed Feb 01, 2012 1:52 pm  

4 points behind Chelsea with the best player in the north west coming back from his ban, things are looking up for us. Pity our next game is a Monday night game, I can't recall us ever playing well on a Monday night fixture, fingers crossed Suarez can lead us to victory.

He was horrendous when Sunderland scored in the last minute against City. I get the feeling he doesn't really like the way City have gone about things.

The next 6 games could define the season. City have 4 home games and 2 away games. Apart from Chelsea, they're all all against sides lower down the table. United have 2 home games and 4 away games with 3 of those games being Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs.

Maybe Mancini will take things more seriously now and prepare properly for these 'easy' games.

he doesn't score many but the ones he does score are important !

I recall the two goals,one a brilliant strike from about 25 yards that won the league cup game for United against the mighty Spurs a couple of seasons ago
