@, clearly it's the weather effects from hanging out too long at the beach.

That was Barcelona and appointing someone as outspoken and egoistic as Mourinho would go against their tradition, history, image etc. This, however, is Man City. Take those aspects of Mourinho out of the way, he brings success, guaranteed. And that is what Man City wants to achieve to become an ever bigger club than they are now. So I don't see why appointing Mourinho would not be a possibility for them.

OH FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!

Man City to review Mancini's position at the end of the season apparently. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/apr/07/robert-mancini-manchester-city-review?CMP=twt_gu They could go for Mourinho if Mancini is sacked.

Careful. You could start a war here. Everybody was saying how rubbish he is and that he's not good for us...

Well, we just don't like each other obviously. It's a love-hate relationship and all you know. Don't think kids like you guys would understand. It's rather complicated...

Errr, what???

Thought he was rather poor today. Maybe it's the effect of playing 3-4 games in the past week & over the course of the season but he kept losing the ball against Sunderland. Poor passes and poor touches. Hope he can pick up his form, especially in the league.

Azpilicueta has just played 4 games in 9 days. He needs to be rested for this one especially with City coming up next Sunday. Benitez mentioned the possibility about playing Ferreira in the 1st leg but went with Azpi because of his stamina levels. Hope he realized Azpi looks a tad tired out there today and is one of the few that needs a rest.

Wasn't a great performance but perhaps it was understandable given it was our 4th game in 9 days! Nonetheless, we pick up a big big 3 points, which is the only thing that matters at this stage of the season.

Meant in the video that was released then..

Indeed. Much has been made about the loss of Bale and to a certain extent Lennon and Bale but nothing about Fellaini and Pienaar. Like CHOULO said, wouldn't be surprised if Spurs win. That's just the way it works really..

I'm not sure why are we even arguing this in the first place. At the end of the day, I can't be bothered if it was Roman, AVB, Emenalo, security guards or the tea lady that got Mata here. Just grateful that we managed to get him and have him playing for us.

You should probably also mention the amount of times Benitez's incompetence led us to defeats as well...oh wait! Your media source is probably as reliable as Daily Star or Daily Mail...zero reliability. In other words, rubbish sources! And Terry found guilty of racist remarks? Only in the FA and English media's eyes. Was cleared off the court 'NOT GUILTY'! Not wanting to be rude or anything but really, you're just crying like a big baby here simply because Terry didn't give support to Benitez. It's as if you were not given a candy but your sibling got one by your parents and you decided to have a big cry and throw a tantrum. And really, is it really important that Terry come out to voice his support for Benitez? Words, as we all know, can mean nothing. Would rather have players show their support on the pitch for the team, fans, club, manager etc rather than coming out to utter 'pointless' words to the media. As previously said, Terry's words on Di Canio was just a diplomatic response and nothing else. So, give it a rest FGS!

That depends on whether you're looking from the club's perspective or AVB's in regards to the transfers. AVB probably targeted Romeu, Meireles and Mata while the club's plan was to get Modric and Mata. Got Romeu, then pursued Modric with Meireles as plan B while also getting Mata in the process. The club had one idea while AVB was probably having another and likely to obliged to the club's targets. People can change can't they? Roman after all wanted us to play the tiki-taka football and perhaps he say and thought Mata would fit the bill.

Tony Pulis is like a broken record these days. He's practically talking about refereeing decisions and how Stoke have had no luck with it almost every week!

So, you were skeptical about that news previously and now, you assumed everything that is reported out there on Modric is true then? Club pursued Modric but AVB was probably more interested in bringing Meireles to the club. He probably just went along with the club's interest and when we couldn't get Modric, we bought Meireles immediately. Clearly he has been already mentioned to the club and targeted as a 2nd choice then.

If that had been reported by the Daily Star or Daily Mail, I would probably wouldn't believe it one bit. However, considering it's from the Guardian, a much more reliable source than those mentioned for example, one would like think it has some sort of truth to it. And besides, that article never said anything about AVB not being interested in Mata at all. Just mentioned that Romeu and Meireles were his main priorities. Mata is probably the 3rd priority in that list and Roman ensured that we brought him to the club by supporting AVB!

Hazard on Mata... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/307819/Eden-Hazard-Jaun-Mata-must-be-player-of-the-year/ Should probably say Mata is the best player he has ever played with and not Gervinho.

And/Or ensure they don't score early or first.

Just to mention, Lampard wasn't even in the home kit(for this season) launch last year but was seen for the away kit's launch. AND Kalou participated in the home kit's launch then...only to leave in the summer. Also, Ballack and Joe Cole took part in the 2010/11 home kit launch 3 years ago and they left the club in the summer.

No chance. He's as rigid as they come in regards to the formation. One can hope he has learned from the mistakes made in the last game.

Obviously not. The chances of him giving up is as low as the chance of Liverpool winning the league anytime soon..
