coogar: another daft analogy.....
wenger did not have £1 billion worth of assets in 96-2000. why compare him to mancini? wenger did not crash out of the group stage of the chanpions league as league champions.

a manager that cannot qualify out of the group stage with players like aguero, tevez, balotelli, dzeko, silva, yaya toure, etc is dud. no excuses!

took citeh from nowhere? what a daft thing to say. the revolution started under sven goran-eriksson and mark hughes. what did mancini inherit? he inherited half a billion pounds worth of asset. he was able to bring in players he wanted. where should we start in counting the hundreds of millions of pounds mancini has spent?

coogar: won a penalty? is that why he was bought?
demba ba in a tight game? what's a tight game? no shots on/off target for 90 mins? demba ba was bought to win penalties? you are a disgrace to football punditry.

FXKing2012: Do you realise that in the 'underdveloped world', women are constantly abused and mistreated in their homes due to the laws that are heavily biased in favour of men?

Babamide: This just goes to show that Benitez is fvcking incompetent. You are 1-0 behind and you remove your 2 deep lying midfielder who are the 2 best passers in the game. The torres he brought in had only one touch in 14mins. With mikel still in the game we would not have conceded the second goal.
Another problem I have is why the 2 playmakers in the team - hazard and mata play on the same side and mata cannot function properly without hazard on the field.

coogar: another 90 mins under demba ba's belt, no goals, no assists, no shots on target, no shots off target - but torres is the problem! we can see how ba's presence is working, can't we? torres shoulda scored a hatrick in his cameo appearance but whenever ba misfires for 90mins, rafa benitez is the problem. .

StarBoard: @dayokanu,
I tend to agree with you on Mancini, but looking at his tenure in England, it's hard to ignore the nearly 1 billion pounds he's spent since he joined City.
If you have that at the back of your mind, I think Mancini is actually an embarrassment to football.
Given that his only league title in England was on goal difference and he has never made it past the group stages of the Champions League in two tries, it's not uncommon to see people rate Wenger ahead of Mancini at this stage.
Besides he happened to win in Serie A when you could argue that there were distinct lack of challengers. He even had a title awarded to him I think when Juventus were stripped.
Plus some of his tactics and selections make you wonder what is going on in his head.
That is as far as I know.
Wenger can claim paucity of funds to spend. Mancini cannot have any excuse whatsoever to be so far behind as defending champions.

Roland17: Clearly Dayo your hate for Arsenal blinds every fact that speaks in favour of Arsenal, when it comes to Coaching tactics, Coaching experience is Mancini in the same wave length as Wenger? i am definitely not surprised at some of your comments, i have heard worse from you, its obvious u can't argue without Bias, u are condemned to drinking Hatorade every time the name Arsenal comes up..

guyosic t: Abeg try go Ekiti state wether U go see any from of development or nor be ACN D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ dere even mimiko nor D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ do anytin 4 dat state,PDP,ACN,LP, and others Ωa disame tin dem bE.go akare road 4 ondo state U go cry 4 ppl 4 dat place

oddy4real: Mongloid, have you ever been to Akwa-Ibom State? If you have, you wouldn't be comparing Lagos to Akwa-Ibom, I dare say that it has the BEST road Network and aesthetics in Nigeria after the FCT.
And before the Yoruba and A.C.N goons here attack me, I am Yoruba too but not a deluded one. I have been opportuned to travel around the Country and I make bold to opine that The South West is the most backward. Go to the Eastern states and see how good their roads are. The problem with the South West is that we are toooooo egoistic and proud. Too arrogant too.

coogar: facts also remain he has managed teams built with infinite wealth. would wenger fail to win with man city's squad?

coogar: dayo, i suspect your arsë is chipped too. all you naija peops in america, one should be afraid of una.

debosky: Mancini was actually talking about criticizing his players in public - something which Wenger doesn't do. Anyways, I can see how criticizing players in public has worked for Mancini so far judging by their cup performances and league position.

Obiagu1: ...because they have Mimiko they believed in. It's like asking why Anambra did not vote for PDP.
Soludo will win hands down if a weakling runs against him on APGA ticket.

Obiagu1: Lie! Ondo people are anti Tinubu aka Yoruba super thief

mr.official:
Once he defects to PDP, APC will win Ondo. Nobody likes to hear PDP, it's evil!

PointB: Thank you OnlyTruth for you compliment and show of support.

Let me start with some clarification. Abians are great sons and daughters Igboland. They are very innovative and enterprising. Incidentally I cannot remember stating that I am from Abia, as I prefer not to pander to states in affairs of Igboland. I will therefore not admit nor refute being from Abia State. I am however proud to state I am Igbo and I believe that should suffice for now.

Duduknight: Damn, this dude is proud.
