Getting this up to have a quick say because I'm off early in the morning.
No point beating City tonight if we don't follow it up with another three points at Wolves. People (the media) will start talking about us again now....pressure on a bit but Wolves have scored only ten at home all season, only Pompey have got a worse home record.
Just got to make sure we don't take them lightly and we should be OK .
Another 2-0 win for me....we're really in the mix now. LOVING IT!!
BBC report...
"...as Mancini grew ever more frustrated, his over-enthusiastic efforts to retrieve the ball for his side ended in him being sent from the dugout.
Moyes was also dismissed, albeit harshly for his part in the incident in which he appeared only to be standing his ground."
Hopefully we can get it overturned if that's correct....I didn't see it.

Me also...I've never been afraid to be in touch with my feminine side but I have to say I wonder why Johnny's not facing the other way...I would be :whistle: .
I'd give him a manly hug any day though .
After consultation with the powers that be the decision is to leave it here...if we win our next four or five then maybe we'll reconsider .
If we win our last eight games and nick it I'll be as pissed off as when I considered having a bet on Jenson Button to be world champ last year when he was without a team and at about 250-1 .
Stick £40 on it here Spidey http://www.sportingbet.com/t/mini/betSlipMini.aspx?affiliate=ia_com&pname=a_11849b_991c_3528 and that's your honeymoon paid for .
I don't see a problem with it if it helps keep them in business. They're going down, they won't gain any advantage on the pitch and neither will anyone else.
That's what I though to start with...
"Motherwell are looking at two American trialists from Everton with a view to possible signings for next season."
But then Brown says...
"David Moyes is probably going to have to recall Lukas Jutkiewicz at the end of the season, so we're taking a look at these lads to see if they're worth a shout."
...which you could read as them coming in as loan replacements for Jutkiewicz.
