One of the reason I will always love West Ham is, if you play for us, and give us everything, and love playing for us, we will always love you no matter where you may roam…
And If you are Paul Ince, and in it for your own glory. then f**k off and never return. or you shall face abuse.
Sounds like Roberto is trying to use the same reverse psychology he employed last year in the PL. Problem with that is, mind games like that usually only work once.
The problem could be that with Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain, City’s new chief executive and director of football respectively, forming an ex-Barcelona axis at the club, the big whisper is that Guardiola could join his erstwhile colleagues to form a formidable Spanish triangle of power if Mancini does not deliver.
