How much does it cost to hire you to stalk someone on Facebook for me ;-)



Well I have some time and could take a bit on, I have a variable tariff - depends on interest level:

1/ If just work - well I would have to charge my full consultancy day rate - sorry
2/ If it was something I thought interesting - well I could offer a good discount
3/ When it comes to picking someone up who talks a lot of bluster and bollocks - which can be evidenced from his own words/posts - well - gratis

On my own posts on this thread - before just commenting on the Hughes obsession(ists) these last couple of days:

1/ 6 in total
2/ Relevance - i.e. commenting on Manciini - 100%
3/ Critical of Mancini - suggesting Hughes better than Mancini - 0%

I think to avoid the hypocrasy you mention i.e the same yardstick is being used to measure Mancini and Hughes and different conclusions being reached, I think a "Mancini Out", thread would have to be started.
I'm getting pretty close to it with his latest actions but am not quite there yet. As I am probably one of the most impatient people on here (in certain issues) and have said he has to win 6 of his first 10 games,he still has a little time and the hypocrasy you allude to is something I think will just have to be accepted.
It happens all the time.


Mancini has won 7 out of 9 matches.

It's ,yes, he is the man for now and the reason why I haven't started a Mancini Out thread, yet.
However as Dub said 4th is there for the taking and if we dont achieve that by the end of the season then he will have failed.
And I for one will be expecting him to get the sack.
Maybe the F.A cup will be enough(if) but the points and position we are in are something I will have to consider.
But for me its either 4th place or adios Roberto.
I've always said stability is over-rated in my view and would feel no pity if he got the boot.
So for now until the end of the season,Roberto has my blessing(although I dont think that would matter to him too much) but in my fickle supporters head I might change my mind.

Meaning what? I'm trying to move on. I really am. I'm tired of arguing about man who has fuck all to do with this club anymore.



Of course my replying to you I am only doing the sort of vain attempt to reason with someone unable to take on board comments that I am suggesting the OD does not waste his efforts on - but OK I will have a brief go:

Your port that I referred to as 'classic irony' stated:

"Hughes is long gone now. Get over it. Instead of trying to repeat stuff about him in thread about our new manager.

If you people were even remotely as objecive as you pretend to be, you wouldn't be harping on about Hughes anymore. At least I'm open about the way I see them.
"

and now you ask why???

1/ In this thread you have made 36 posts - of these 14 have nothing to do with the subject or Hughes - leaving 22
2/ of the 22 - in 13 you are directly going on about Hughes - sometimes in a really 'possessed' way
3/ Leaving 9 (25%) of you posts being about the thread subject - actually some of them were boderline
4/ This during a period when we are playing the scum in 2 semi-finals
5/ All your latests posts have been referring to Hughes - to the extent that OD, whilst trying to discuss Mancini, was moved to post this to you:

You are spending you whole time trying to keep divisions on this board and you made a fucking disgrace out of yourself spending the whole day trying to do so the other day.

If you want to do that, fire away, but I'm sick of you trying to put me in a box and give me labels, when the only "lover" or "licker" I am is for Manchester City.

So I'm asking you now to please stop doing that. Have a bit of respect for the fact that we are all City fans for fuck sake and let Mark Hughes go.

You've caused enough bollox on this board and it hasn't stoped since he left


And then you pop up as if you are some born-again objectivity saint - do me a favour - what were your words"...at least I am open.." - classic irony!!

You can respond all you like with your comments that stroke your ego - but they do not fool anyone - apart from yourself - but if it makes you feel good - get on with it - not point me (or OD) trying to use discussion / reason / objectivity on an internet forum with someone unable (on some topics) to interact - I know I have just wasted 10mins of my life typing this - but I can afford it

P.s

6/ ..... and all this from the guy who was been so roundly criticised (exposed actually) for his continuous harping on about Hughes during the 1st half of January - that he ran for cover and started the Mancini or Hughes poll on the 17th - and guess what happened - even more people told him he was a dick and he should let it go


Like I said, I'm TRYING to let it go myself.

It's just that people like you feel need to bring your favourite rag up in every given chance.

The purpose of your post is nothing but try to wind me up into arguing with you but you've showed with your petty "you are a moderator here......boohoo" bullshit that you are not really worth it really. We have been trying to restore some peace and I'm doing my best and you feel like you want to go all over it again, BECAUSE OF RAG FUCK THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CLUB ANYMORE.



Have you heard - actions speak louder than words - those stats I posted are just facts - not my posts - your posts - did someone log into your account and send them or something?

So this post shows you are deluding yourself - which is what I was intimating - anyway - be true to your words - let it go - although this post is not a good start is it?

Actually I think he apologised for that a few posts back and accepted the criticism so fairs fair and all that.

Think that apology was for the RAG FUCK comment made earlier - perhaps he ought to just really let it go and stop trying to play the victim - ..... this is just to wind me up - please.... when in reality it is level headed people just not content to let him continuously pour this crap out and then play the statesman - at least you and RH are consistent - anyway - I am on no campaign - all did was play back some facts - in essence 'held up a mirror' - not surprising that he did not like the reflection

I don't see any resemblence.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Its high grade shit. It wasn't this photo but I ended up watching this movie the other night and some of the scenes in it completely reminded me of Manc.

I think our style of play has gotten worse under Mancini.

But at least we're not drawing against shite teams like Hull anymore.

There's no difference under Mancini as there was under Hughes, apart from a nice scarf that is. Our football as a form of entertainment has gone right down the drain.

The everton game was the worst performance for sometime - we all knew what was coming in the semi and frankly, i've not been excited about a game since. what's the betting we'll have fucking nothing to play for the last 2 months of the season again...

Jesus that's such a depressing thought.... but I fear you could be right. Fourth is there for the taking, we've had multiple opportunities to cement our place but we've regressed IMO.

Losing I can take, its part and parcel of football, but playing like that is boring and ineffective.

People were wanking off because we managed to win the first leg of a semi. Because we were winning at half time FFS. Losing to Everton was the worst performance of the season, no doubt about it.

I'm so pissed off at the minute which is understandable and I'm never one to be calling for a manager's head, particularly a couple of months in... but I feel so disillusioned now. On a day when Liverpool played shite, went down to ten men and beat Everton, we get our worst result of the season.

This could be the day we look back and say it was absolutely pivotal. Men from boys and all that.

Long live the BIG FOUR.

Mancini has won wherever he has coached and also won a Cup at every team? But I agree with Noel Gallagher,
he makes the Top 4 he's here three years, he doesn't and it's Hiddink or Mourinho. God what are we the fucking New York Yankees!!!
