Good manager and work ethic man, like you say.. there team spirit is awesome at the moment and you get the feeling they are all in it for the cause.
Will be interesting to see if they can hold on to everybody in January, will be surprised if no one bigger has a look at Fellaini with the way he's playing and Baines is constantly linked with United.

I sometimes see Everton as the antithesis of City. A manager with not a great deal of money, can't lavish exuberant wages on players, yet he gets them working well together as a strong solid unit. I can't imagine any Everton players throwing temper tantrums.

What's the deal with Mancini-Balotelli? How many chances will Mancini give him? Just buy another striker in the winter and sell Balotelli..

Perhaps the owners really like him and won't let Mancini sell him. He's being Abramoviched.

Mancini knows that no manager in the right mind would buy him. Long may Balotelli stay at Man Citeh.

So frustrating being a Newcastle fan.Good players who are scared of the ball makes for bad players overall.Might as well switch to 5-0-5 formation,at least we would have people to just hoof the ball up to and we would also have a reason the midfield was over run as there would be none.

I really don't know what's happened to you. I thought you'd build from last year but you've slid backwards.
