They did!
Apparently Mancini is livid with the penalty decision.
Can't think why. If your team scores 0...then there's a good chance that's exactly what you'll get.

Apparently Richards was climbing on Bent, therefore a penalty was given.
I haven't seen what happened, so I can't really comment.
But Richards is forever climbing on people, for a 22 year old he still makes really amateur mistakes.
Mojo will be pleased.
City are a MASSIVE club.

Got into an argument with one tonight actually, "Berbaflop"
I reminded him that their star player was a bench warmer for us, and we won the league whilst he was sat on the bench.
I wound him up a treat. Typical bitter blue nose.

Winding City fans up aside, I do like Berbatov.
I wanted to see him moved on in the summer, for one reason and one reason only: I don't believe he's scored against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or City in a red shirt. And we could do with a big game player, that said the criticism about his work rate is ridiculous. It's almost as if some of our fans have never seen him play for Spurs. We knew what we were buying, and against the smaller teams he does some wonderful things with that football. I just believe he needs to up his game, and do it against the bigger teams. (Unless I'm forgetting any goals he's scored against the so called "big teams")

How can you not love this guy?

I certainly was and still am pleased. I felt we played really well in the second half and overall, for all their millions spent, City looked like an average to poor team. However I have to admit that it should have been over by half time. They may have only had two shots on target in 90 minutes and also statistically Joe Hart has made more saves than any keeper so far this season, which shows you that they are having problems but even so, they should have killed it in the first half.

Must admit, Wigan's transfer dealings yesterday were a little disappointing. We didn't get that left-back or covering centre-back we so desperately need, we didn't get rid of that arrogant cunt known to the rest of the world as Charles N'Zogbia, and for some reason Bobby thought it'd be a good idea to sign Franco Di Santo - the very same fella who could only score against Burnley last season. Still, it's not all doom and gloom. Tom Cleverly might turn out to be a good signing I guess.

Talking of the transfer window;

^ That lad's agent should be knighted. Maybe he could get methe England manager's job while he's at it too.

I was hoping for Rodwell, this was me:

Shit deadline day, if we didn't get Rodwell then I wanted to keep Cleverly. Cleverly > Gibson.

He'll only on loan with us for the season - we'll be giving him back in good shape
