Mancini has an appalling record of man-management. Fair enough, he won the title, but arguably i would say he ultimately under achieved, or at most achieved par, with city. Not going to happen, and IMHO nor should it. He'd want a small fortune in wages, and be a pain in the arse with board demands, if his form is anything to go by.

"How can I remember to keep it all together when half the moon is taken away?"

I don't understand what team these people have been following. When have we ever been in better shape than we are now? In the Premier League and no threat of relegation. These fair-weather-fans are a cancer, I hope they jump ship ASAP and go and support Arsenal or some s***.

We've lost our identity. Nothing wrong with being a counter attacking side. We were great under Pulis & when Pards first took over. Simple counter attacking. Solid at the back. We are set up for it with the pace & power we have.
2016 has been so painful. I don't look forward to watching us anymore. And I think he's lost the group.
Tried to change too much too soon. And he is not the great tactician he thinks he is. Who gives a f*#k about having 65% possession and our keeper playing short.
Just because Pep does? Look at Simeone. He's done a better job than anyone around in my opinion. He gets results, f#*k the stats.
I hate chopping and changing managers. But it is just the way the prem is now.
A new manager could reinvigorate this group. A good group. Add a few players in the transfer window.
The question is who....
Mancini, De Boer, Allardyce, Hodgson, Dyche?
Not an easy decision for SP. Probably the toughest of his time at Palace.
But the stats don't lie.

Some sort of tech issue going on here. ignore anythihng from me (not too hard I'm sure) until I get it sorted out. Sorry for the problems.. blame the internet..

Success will lie to you but failure always tells you the truth.

Yep unfortunately he has to go and he can take Woodman with him.He gives his mates jobs that they aren't qualified for and I am now bored with the feeble its everyone else fault apart from mine.

Maybe Newcastle fans were right about him.

This roller coaster I am on just won't stop.

One of the problems is the assumption that there is no threat of relegation. At this point there is definitely a threat of relegation. When we came away from Stoke last December you would have thought there was "no threat of relegation" and we then went from fifth at Christmas to needing to beat Norwich after no win in twenty-odd games to avoid being in serious bother.

Unfortunately I think Pardew is also assuming there is "no threat of relegation".
