Anyways we shouldn't be looking at too many problems here. I think we will crush Salzburg anyway and Juve have to go to Poznan which doesn't look good for the italians at all. If Juve have to win the final game to even have a mathematical chance that just plays into our hands imo.
I know it could all go wrong, but the chances are stacked against that in a big way. Both Salzburg and Juve have to play away and somehow play to get a win... and so playing into the hands of the home teams. City and Poznan have serious advantages for the games on Thursday all the presssure is on Salzburg and Juve.
By the way i think we will clean Juve out as well in Turin.

Just let me get this straight - "knee-jerkers" is now the term given to anyone that has voiced concerns over Mancini's style of football.
Would that be correct? Also, trying to box people off like that is a bit sad IMO. You're also talking about the 20 odd thousand fans who left early v Birmingham and also the ones that stayed and booed the manager off the pitch.
Don't get me wrong, I have had little or no problems with how we went about the last two games, so obviously I'm talking about the bigger picture, but are you labelling all of these people and the likes of myself "knee-jerk"????

Truth be told Dub i have no idea what kind of jerk you are, but there is nothing wrong with a good knee jerk imo as long as it is accepted as such.. ie a reaction as opposed to a thought out thing. We can all go off on one.
As for labelling no im not, i dont even like labelling bottles so im not going to start on people. I will say that the fans reaction was probably more out of frustration than a knee jerk tbh.. after two games struggling at home and poor fare for some time. Maybe that is a bit knee jerk in the grander scheme of things i dunno, but i wasn't talking about that, i was more responding to the OP, which was kind of making an either or, glory or despair swingometer scenario.
Anyways i dont boo and wouldn't leave early so if i had been there i would have knee jerked into calling the fans who did impatient c*nts.
Hope that clears it all up.

Well kind of, but you still don't seem to acknowledge the vast number of people who had just become fed up with the style of football, more trying to imply that it all had to do with two games rather than almost a year of largley boring football, that was culminating in a run of poor results.
Those you refer to are probably in a crowd of two, so I wouldn't even bother addressing them if I was you.
Oh and I'm a big jerk if you must know.
Et toi?

Im the biggest jerk i know, not sure if that amounts to much though.
Your point, although in fairness to me is not about the OP... ie swingometer etc. is probs about right, i do think that the reaction to the brum game was ott, but i could understand that for what you point out as a fairly underwhelming start to the season and run of games. I put the reaction down to the result on the back of the Derby performance which was depressing and started people thinking that things were fucked up and basically made a lot of people angry, as derbies always do. [highlight]Whereas the Brum game was very different in performance[/highlight] just no result, so for me the two didn't add together to make a clear idea of anything, i said that at the time and i will stick by it.
The performance in the Brum game was absolutely dire - at least against the rags some kind of justification could be found, against Birmingham there was none.
Yours faithfully
A Knee Jerker

justification for what? clearance of the line, hitting the bar, Tevez shouldering it in, saves and numerous blocked shots? What fucking justification was there against the rags that outweighed 27 attempts on goal? IF by the word performance you mean result then ok a simple misunderstanding, if not.. well my own knee jerk is you must have a head that is full of paper soaked in wet stinky piss at the very least.
