POST READING MATCH

[Slim]

Never a truer word spoken. Good win in almost meaningless game. Well done. But there's no competitive edge left this season. Where we are in christmas should be next time we make judgements one way or another.

Ill be making judgements based on the next game, then the managerial apptment, and our summer signing.

Cancel Christmas motherfucker.

Wouldn't pay any attention to him, he thinks Christmas is in January, crazy Finnish fuck.

At the 60 minute mark kidd should have taken off the attackers, apart from the knackered looling aguero, and put garcia and rodwell on to ensure we got the 1-0 - or at least a point, it was an away game after all
Going for more goals just because we have a team capable of it was wreckless by kidd

I think Bob do something like that against Wigan and we lost game . Reading was shit we had 26 shot 20 on goal so any decent manager will not close up the game against that team he will kill it off .Attack is the best defense and he was right.

Kidd did revert to 3-5-2 at some point, in order to hold reading back :) :) :)

I find it incredible that people think the Reading game was a sudden release of the reins and that football hereto forgotten had suddenly appeared on the pitch! For all we dominated we could have easily conceded if Hart wasn't on his game. Richards looked still off the pace, allowing Reading too much time and space on the ball - maybe he'll never be a centre half. This was a 2:0 result against a team who've been poor all season and were rightly relegated. I saw NOTHING in our performance last night that suggested anything had changed. The flashes of quality football can be seen in other matches this season, it sadly seems that people have been blinded by their delight that Mancini has gone to suggest we were witnessing football we'd never ever seen and that's just total bollocks.

Next season is the time to start making the comparisons - just enjoy the Norwich game (hopefully with a few younger lads turning out) and focus on no doubt a busy summer transfer window and the new manager & coaches coming in.

Yes, Reading have been poor all season. Remember the turgid 1-0 home win?

You're right, nothing really changed except we appeared to be more attack minded with some free flowing stuff. You're also right that it's probably an illusion and we're all just seeing things as we're giddy that Mancini has gone. Doesn't that tell it's own story?

[john@staustell]

I thought I detected an extra spring in one or two steps myself. But that may be illusion due to the opposition letting us play this time.

[Hazy2]

Seen the higlights 15 shots 1st half 1 goal same old City. Sums the season up and why RVP has won the scum the league.

That's the bottomline. We weren't scoring goals this season. That's what it came down to.

rubbish thread

if you're looking for clues as to how people are feeling, watch Kiddo's after match interview
and do we know where our Captain is yet?

[CHOPPERmcfc]

Didn't see the match last night, but Im a little nervous at Vinnies absence... I won't say my arse is going like a rabbits chops quite yet but anyone know the deal there? Not a dicky bird from Kiddo in his interview either...

[Ted Hughes]

A lot of disappointed people on here because we played well.

Of course, had we been playing a well organised counter attacking side like Dortmund, or the rags, we would have been hammered, but we weren't playing those, we were playing Reading, who were utter shite. Our finishing was also gash, as well as our defending of set pieces.

Doesn't change the fact that City played with a fluency & at times inspiration which has been missing for much of this season, & if some of you fuckers weren't so utterly stuck up Mancini's fucking arse, you would be pleased to see the same group of players have not lost it, & gain some hope for next season, rather than worrying that it could show your lord and master in a bad light.

It wasn't the end product, but it was very encouraging: you agenda ridden cunts.

I thought we played similar to what we've played all season.

Oh wait, what's this 'Agenda Ridden Cunts' you talk of?

You're a total and utter arse mate. You proclaimed you weren't a Mancini outer yet you now come out with that. I won't call you names, I won't call you a fuckwit who knows all there is to know about football, I won't even say you are lost in your own delusion. What I will say though is that you are a City fan and entitled to your opinion.

Well done.

Well said that man. The team seemed the exact same to me. The thread was started to suggest how much better the team was doing. What do you expect from ted, disagreeing with him results in insults. The Balotelli (ted the mind reader) thread proved that and he hasnt changed since.

And you're re forming your little gang again ? Oh how cute.

For all your information, I didn't want Mancini sacked at all, but the piss poor level of performance & lack of attacking flair I was watching was bringing that day closer with each game. I wanted to see him do something about it, to give me confidence he would be able to get us back to where we should be next season.

I'd watch a team play like shite (just like Reading did) & see Silva getting the ball with nobody to pass to, players making the wrong runs, etc etc & remember how we played early last season, & wonder why the fuck we were so far away from it & why we weren't 'like watching Brazil' anymore.

Then I come on here & to some people, I've just witnessed a perfectly good performance & nothing to worry about & no bother that Utd are running away with the league at Christmas, they'll lose 10 games & we'll stroll through. You were all so convinced that Bob just had to turn up to keep his job. Well he didn't. We needed to be impressive. He was being evaluated. I was right to be concerned.

Last night was closer to how Mancini had us playing last season when we were good. I have no idea why that is, ( perhaps they wanted to say goodbye ?) but I can fucking see it's true & take some heart from that for the future because I support City & I'm glad to see people like Silva looking like they have a future rather than being replaced.

All season, if I've said anything realistic which didn't suit the agenda, I'd get accused of hating Mancini. I wanted him to perform so as not get the fucking sack, like he has.

He's gone now & we look as if we will be perfectly ok. Which is all I now care about.

I am sure we will be perfectly OK, but we certainly don't look it

Looked pretty #together as a group of players to me.

If I was a new manager coming in, I'd be very optimistic that I could work with them.

If the new bloke is any good, he should be able to hit the ground running. If not, he's probably a mistake.

Either way though, I'd like to see a few youngsters in at weekend especially as we have this ill timed tour coming up.

Id certainly like to see Suarez and Guidetti. Maybe even Rekik
