**Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Absolute class by Ronaldo. Terrific left foot that fella has...

Young French player Kondogbia looks good for Sevilla though, 19 years old but more than holding his own at the bernabeu. Wonder how much he moved there for...
 
Said it before, QPR need a goalie. Not 1, 2 but 3 goals down to Cesar. Still Harry only needs 2 wins..but he needs Reading to keep losing or they are doomed.
 
He did, but as for the scouts... Isn't this year off the back of one prolific season in La Liga?

its not just about the goals, its the way he plays, the way he spreads the ball around without even needing to look and the way he finishes as well, he just seems to do the right thing instinctively, his second goal today was a great example, perfectly timed run, waited for his balance to be right, didn't take his eye of the ball but knew the keeper had sold himself and slotted it by him with a lovely shift of feet
 
Mancini is the main reason why ManCity won't win another league title. He was lucky to win trophies with Inter and even more fortunate to win it with ManCity last season. Really surprised ManCity have kept him for 4 years now. For all the money and big money players they have, ManCity should be dominating the English league and Cups every season. Instead they hardly look like winning another one. Unless they appoint a more experienced manager like Mourinho, Ancelotti or Guardiola, cannot see them making much progress.

Very curious what is going on at City. Wasn't Mancini looking for another job in the summer?
Maybe the sheikhs are tiring of their new toy.

I think they made big blunders with the choice of managers. Hughes or Mancini are not what you would call as big-name managers to manage big-name players. They needed someone like Mourinho or Guardiola to make the most of the quality they got. Instead, it has been a struggle all the way by Mancini. When we beat ManCity for 4th place in 2010, thought they will replace Mancini but they decided to keep him. They should have won the title hands down last season but were very lucky to win it. It is clear Mancini just cannot get the best out of this team.

It's surprising they have kept him. They won the title last season despite Mancini and have been an embarrassment in Europe. Mancini with his moaning about lack of money and squad depth, referees, and whatever doesn't even provide the dignified presence I expect Mansoor wants. One area where I'm sure he wants City to do it the right way is as a respectable organisation representing his family and country. One reason I can't see Mourinho going there and why they must be very disappointed Guardiola signed for Bayern.
