Sounds like an idiot to me. :rolleyes:
Sounds like a gracious, humorous, sporting gentleman to me.
Unlike that horrible cunt who manages your team. As Lineker said, when Ferguson was losing the plot over the āoffsideā Newcastle goal: itās not a very good example to be setting, haranguing officials like that.
An amateur linesman was beaten to death in Holland last week by teenagers. Itās people like Ferguson who have contributed HUGELY to that. And Iām deadly serious about that.
So fuck you.

I think Ferguson didnāt need to go the linesman. He gave the correct decision to disallow the goal originally. It was that cunt Mike Dean who overruled his assistant. He rightly made his point to him. Ill expect Fergie to be charged over what he did the linesman though.
Fergushun is a horrible horrible cunt
Fergie. :lol:
Attacking the linesman who is half his age. :lol:
Great stuff from the 12 times league title winning manager. :lol:
The man hasnāt an ounce of class in him
Mancini is a terribly nice fellow, he always speaks with class and is very charming - stark contrast to the horrible bullying alco hun cunt.
Sir Alex playing right into Manciniās hands with that win yesterday-Fergie is like putty in Manciniās greasy Italian hands.
Jesus this is a shocking post, right from the small minded servile use of the knighthood title when referring to the Scot, right up to the abortion of a metaphor about Mancini rolling Fergie around like putty.
Send this post to the dungeon. Immediately.
[size=3]Mancini said after the 1-0 defeat at the Stadium of Light: āThe referee, he ate too much for Christmas. I do not know how he could miss this. He was not in good form.[/size]
[size=3] [/size][size=3]Throw the book at him. [/size]
Mancini is a very admirable man - [FONT=Helvetica]āIām not Arsene Wenger. Weāre different. I want to win,ā[/FONT]

Heās a fraud of a manager and no amount of smartarse quotes can disguise that fact.
No heās not.
:o
Iāve been saying that for ages. Wenger is a joke
That was a brilliant interview by Danny Taylor in The Guardian yesterday.
Interesting to hear him slamming and blasting serie A.
I see Mancini has had a cut off the xenophobia of the Englihs media today in the Gazzetta Dello Sport
Thatās Mancio
Fifty years today Interās new Coach Roberto Mancini was born in a small town on the Adriatic coast. Dave Taylor celebrates the calcio legendās playing career.
āWhen I look at the footballing media, it appears we live in a world much different than reality,ā snarled a miserable Roberto Mancini back in November 1995, when I asked him about the game. āThe game is not what it used to be. Thereās too much television, too many pointless games and far too much big business involved,ā added the Sampdoria captain. In fact I was asking him about the listless 0-0 draw I had just witnessed between Samp and Middlesbrough, where he was subbed just after the interval, not about the game in general butā¦
Not long ago when asked to describe himself in one word he answered: āGenius.ā Whether joking or not, it certainly was another illustration of a man with an implacable belief in himself and his point of view. A way of thinking that the only way is his way.
For Mancini the player it was never just enough just to win, he had to push himself and his teammates to make that victory complete. āIf he saw that his teammates werenāt doing things right, he went berserk,ā said former Samp Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. āHe never took it out on his opponents, only his teammates.ā Not quite true, Sven, as there were also many altercations with officials.
One notable incident came during a tight game with Inter in November 1995 when, heavily tackled in the area, the referee completely dismissed the No 10ās protestations. Mancini ragingly indignant broke free from teammate Gianluca Pagliucaās restraining arms, screamed up to the referee, ripped off his captainās armband and shrieked into his face, āCheatā, before storming off the pitch, not even noticing his red card.
Another time he allegedly promised journalists he would āmurder the refereeā. While in another incident he urged: āreal fans to climb the fences and attack the referee.ā
Never one to ride the road of redemption, to say he was full of passion, a control-freak and utterly refused to suffer fools gladly, would be an understatement. Several arguments with club colleagues even ended in physical fights, as former teammate Trevor Francis could testify.
His old friend Gianluca Vialli claimed his controversial captainās actions could be explained because of his heartfelt commitment for his team, a love for the shirt. āRoberto is a man who is instinctive but above all he is a man who has to tell the truth,ā he recalled.
Moving to Sampdoria from Bologna in 1982 a then 18-year-old Mancio started a 15-year love affair and helped stimulate I Blucerchiatiās golden era.
Manciniās story cannot be complete without mention of the āGemelli del Golā, the Goal Twins, the nickname for himself and Vialli. It was a friendship and partnership that started in 1984 and symbolised that marvellous Samp team from the mid-1980s and early 1990s.
That team coached by the legendary Vujadin Boskov also had top internationals like Pietro Vierchowod, goalkeeper Pagliuca, Giuseppe Dossena, Attilio Lombardo, Antonio Cerezo, etc and all topped off by the Goal Twins. It was a story of dressing room friendship, a jokey close-knit team whose chemistry lit up glorious nights in the Stadio Luigi Ferraris and contributed significantly to their success. Establishing himself as one of Serie Aās greats, Mancini was the fulcrum of the team, a true fantasista, who could turn a game in one illuminating moment.
āHeād developed this wish, this skill to always give the last pass,ā said Vialli, who scored 85 goals for Samp with many provided by his calcio twin. The pair complemented each other with Vialli scoring and Mancini providing the feints, the outrageous dummies, the sumptuous back-heel flicks and of course scoring a few sensational goals himself, 156 in 545 games.
With his unparalleled vision Mancini was the bandiera of a winning Samp and certainly no-one can call into question his devotion to them. āI spent my life at Sampdoria,ā he said. āThey hadnāt had much success. I played there for 15 years because I loved that club, and I wanted to win with them.ā
The first trophy he and the club won was the 1985 Italian Cup, the first of four. He also led them to a UEFA Cup Winnersā Cup, an Italian Super Cup and their first and only League title in 1991.
In the following seasonās Champions League they reached the final only to be narrowly beaten by Barcelona 1-0 in extra time.
It was the end of an era as Samp became financially troubled. Yet despite this, Mancini stayed until 1997, before moving to Lazio for four years, winning a second Scudetto and starting on a managerial career that has led success and, from last weekendās Milan derby, a second stint at Inter.
