I really hope his fathers okay.

Crazy thing too was he played pretty well yesterday.

Mancini just went 4-3-3 with 3 defensive midfielders and one lone forward at home to Swansea. :nonono:

Mikel played in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Stoke despite learning a day previously that his father had gone missing on Friday.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, Mikel said he and his family are yet to hear anything regarding his father's whereabouts or who might have taken him, and he made a direct appeal for his father's release.

Very common in Nigeria. Hopefully the ransom they ask for isn't too ridiculous.

True, and it's unfortunate that it happens in many other countries and effects different sports. Pretty messed up.

Just watching City-Swansea as I wait until I go to a barbecue and these first 15 minutes are pure comedy.

All Swansea does is pass the ball between their center backs and the goal keeper and they have 65% possession of the ball. :lol:

Micah Richards is a bear

Judging from the first 15 minutes, I think I've never seen a worse match that is not a friendly.

I swear Vorm (Swansea's goalkeeper) must be the guy with the most touches of the ball and City had only 2 chances so far.

Friggen awesome. Mancini said he might not play before this match began, and he came in like a spark plug and scored his first for city.

Shouldnt have counted, but he still gets an assist. 3-0

Someone needs to photoshop this

If City had a different manager, this could be a seriously good side.

11 - Michel Vorm has already made more saves tonight than any player managed in a Premier League game last season (10). Blinder

Post #336 » by **5DOM** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:49 pm

Damn

What a debut

2 goals and 1 assist

Swansea is lucky Vorm was playing out of his freakin mind, could've been more than 4

Wait, wait - does this mean that Roberto Mancini has realised that when you have a squad full of attacking talent you don't play with 8 men behind the ball?

Post #340 » by **5DOM** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:56 pm

Scary team considering Tevez and Balotelli didn't even play. And of course Mancini did say that they need two more players too lol

@Joey7Barton
Joseph Barton
If they sign Nasri and Sneijder. This could be like cheating on Football Manager...............ha
