Ballotelli 22 yellow cards, 4 red cards, and Mancini keeps him on the pitch, its goodbye mancini i think.just goes to show sometimes you cant buy league titles, chelsea did, but man city couldnt, so alex ferguson does it again.

"Alex Ferguson does it again" well to be quite honest I do admire what Manchester United have achieved, but I do not admire the way they have achieved it:-\ the prime example was today against QPR embarrassing, fact. I bet good old Alex did not see it! same old same old [|)][|)]

There is this myth that Man City and Chelsea are the only two clubs that have spent heavily to buy the premiership. Manchester Utd spend heavily ever year and seem to be excluded from that elite bunch. The reason why City and Chelsea get picked out is on the amount of money they have spent in one or two seasons. This is because prior to new owners taking over the clubs did not havea pot to pee in.

Yes,Utd are an established club with a massive following but they are not that sound financially. If Chelsea were to win the Champions League they will be accused of buying it. Barcelona or Madrid win it they will not be accused of buying it.

On Blotelli, he needs to be stopped because he is going to end someones career with the wreckless way he plays. He should have been sent off for the tackle on Song and City should have had to play over an hour with 10 men.

The Arsenal cast offs(Clichy and Nasri) did not play well  and selling them seems to have been very good piece of business for Wenger.

Every team that has won the premiership has bought it, the man u fans won't understand that because they brought Beckham, Giggs and Scholes through the ranks many years ago and that constituted a team for the next twenty years, didn't I mention this once before?

Ballotelli is a total nutter and city or any other premiership club
just doesn't need him. The quicker he sod's off back to Italy the
better.

Balotelli will not play again for city. He was a disgrace. Ok we are unlikely to win the title this year. Personally I didn't expect it, just the fact that we had such a great start, guess expectations have been raised by all football fans not just City supporters. I think we should stick with Mancini, changing the manager for finishing second in the premiership in his second full season is a little harsh. That is if we do finish second, and this time last year we were 15 points down on the current score. So heres to onward and hopefully upward for next year. Oh and QPR being 1 nil down and one man down after 14 minutes at OT wasn't a surprise, when they should have been awarded a free kick for offside. Power to Patrick Vieras observations I think. Just a bit of sour grapes on my part there If United win it then they deserve it.

Strange season. On Sunday the prem was over and after tonight it is back on again. One more slip up from ManU and the derby game could be the decider.

I think that about 11 other players that were bought have not been included. Bergkamp,Ian Wright, Seaman, Bould, Dixon, Winterburn and Vieria are some that come to mind.
