Losing The Players, Losing The Crowd

[brite blu sky]

I doubt very much that he has in any way lost the players.. ok there are some that will move on if they cant get in the team or Mancini's thinking.. no problem there. The crowd on the other hand dont like losing or drawing or not getting value for their efforts and money in going to games.. and they have a right to express what they want.. but then everyone knows that you have to take that with a pinch of salt.. ie they are fickle as a whole taken as one.
Im sure the reactions to the last two games will give Mancini some food for thought because while he can dismiss the crowd and the fans to some extent they still remain the soul of the club and are the main reason for playing football in a stadium! So i would think that even if Mancini is basically confident of what he is doing and what he is trying to achieve he will also be influenced by the reaction to some extent and may try to push something to ensure a better attacking performance at home next time.

If that happens of course then the crowd will simply shut up and fall into line like babies after a feed ;)

I was surprised how many people in the South Stand were singing "You don't know what you're doing". It was the majority. Mancini is treading a fine line with the patience of the match going public.

Regarding players he has lost the following but perhaps that's not a bad thing overall:
Adebayor = Mistake as he is a 1 goal every 2 games player
Bridge = Not really good enough but would have as a squad player
SWP = Same as above
Tevez = Had arguments but keeping on side - just
RSC = Too injury prone
Nedum = Is better than Boateng and has an attacking threat about him
Given = Should have given him every cup game

He's isolated most of our squad/sub players meaning we have to play with quite a thin squad despite having great strength in depth. Bit of a paradox there :-)

Edit: Forgot Lescott too, he doesn't seem to like him either :-(

My god - that degree of incisively cleaved prose is thouroughly wasted on the lumpen proles who frequent this working class graffiti substitute

Say again?

I'll interpret for you. He said you are spouting melodramatic bullshit.

Always thought Russell Brand supported West Ham, could be Stuart Hall though :-D

Cheers pal, went right over my head. I actually thought it was a relevant topic after todays events, but then again, I wouldn't expect to get a normal debate about real issues when it comes to Mancini.

Tell me again, is Mancini your choice of manager?

How any fan thinks that booing the team/manager at half time can be anything other than counter productive is beyond me!

That I do agree on. That said at some point you realise it's not a lack of cheering hindering the team and cannot hide your frustrations.

Recently, as part of his pre-wedding festivities - although he apparently didn't drink - Brand and some mates played a kick about pre-match at Upton Park. These mates included Noel Gallagher and David Walliams.

I reckon they've jinxed us. Its all their fault.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
