you'd contend for a lot of trophies maybe even the CL (IF he actually SPENT)... there's nothing in the world one can do to guarantee a win. best team to never win a world cup was the Cruyff-led Dutch. really they were better than a lot of teams that actually won it, yet they fell to a series of bad breaks.

Arsenal, in spite of their start, look likely to secure 3rd. impressive.

Definitely Balotelli out. He can be a genius, but he is also a real wanker.

We deserved to get beat last night. We really did need Silva on the pitch. The demise of the team has been quite striking.

Mancini? I would still give him one more year, just by default, there ain't no better managers who will join City at the moment - the Special One certainly wouldn't. There is no amount of money that could tempt him to the club. We are stuck with Mancini, although I would say that he hasn't been all that bad. Just made a few key errors this season (putting too much faith in Balotelli is one of them).

Mancini, when interviewed, said that he thought Utd were playing on Thursday.

He said "Only at the end of game did I realise they played tonight,".

I say bullshit, you should have heard the roar in the stadium when Wigan scored. It was like Aguero had scored another. There is no way that Mancini didn't know.

As to the game, what an exhibition of free flowing football. Silva was the heart and soul of everything, he was back to his terrorizing, cheeky best. Aguero was also top draw and Tevez (hat-trick to seal a win against Utd, anyone taking any bets?) had an excellent game. Basically, with Silva playing at his best, with Kompany and De Jong bossing things behind, City are just a free flowing exhibition of magnificent football. Wonderful to watch.

have to agree with this. who else would they get? Hiddink? doubt it.

THE problem with Chelsea, PSG etc has been that they don't pick a plan and stick with it. Fergie's made a few key errors this season too, he's just gotten away with more of them. NO manager can guarantee results, just improve a team's odds quite a bit. it's likely to end in disappointment for City fans but this has to count as a good season, even if they're not within striking distance on derby day.

that said i'm nervous that City will fire Mancini and head down the dreaded revolving door path. hope not.

Just like watching Brazil, but by jesus, I have a sore head....

regardless of how the season ends it certainly has been an interesting (and twisted) variation on the theme of "typical City."

i suspect a string of good results and Mancini will keep his job, even if City win no trophies.

Aye, wasn't great.

City deserved the win 100%. When Nani got subbed it was the first time I saw him. Invisible man tonight.

Still not over imo. They're level on points and City have to go Newcastle who, apart from the last game, have been playing pretty well.

Utd away at Sunderland could be tricky, too. Steve Bruce isn't in charge this time so at least they'll have a go

I predict (and I'm usually wrong) a few twists over the last two games (City to draw at Newcastle and Utd to draw at Sunderland)...with City taking the title.

sunderland's form of late has been abysmal, cant see anything other than a utd win in that game. somebody send an SOS for KL..im missing his pearls of wisdom
