Il clamoroso scivolone del Manchester City sul campo dei gallesi dello Swansea ha determinato il sorpasso in graduatoria generale da parte del “solito” Man Utd. Tuttavia la volata finale si profila serrata e non è escluso che, come dichiarato da Mancini, possa essere la stracittadina la sfida che finirà per decidere il titolo. La sfida è in programma il 30 aprile. La nazionale inglese ad Euro 2012 dovrà fare a meno di almeno 2500 tra i propri sostenitori più caldi. Questo è il numero dei cittadini britannici che dovranno consegnare preventivamente i loro passaporti perchè ritenuti potenzialmente pericolosi per l’ordine pubblico. I “bianchi” non è neppure certo che potranno contare sulla guida tecnica di Redknapp. L’allenatore è ancora dubbioso se accettare l’incarico di sostituire Capello ed, a pochi mesi dall’inizio della manifestazione continentale, tale incertezza non depone certamente in modo favorevole circa le prospettive dell’imminente spedizione.
Manchester City boss Mancini says United game will decide title
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says the Premier League title will be decided when his side face Manchester United with three games to go.
Mancini’s side lost top spot to United following their shock defeat to Swansea and trail their neighbours by a point.
But City host United at Etihad Stadium on 30 April and Mancini believes that game will prove to be the decider.
“Today was not critical. I think this championship will be decided with three games to go,” Mancini told BBC Sport.
While City were being beaten 1-0 by Swansea on Sunday, United leapfrogged above them thanks to a 2-0 victory against West Bromwich Albion , but Mancini says he is unconcerned about losing top spot now with only 10 games to go.
“It has been a difficult last four days for me but football is like this”

The Italian also says he is confident that City can still win their first title in 44 years.
“We should fight against them until the end,” added Mancini. “We have another 10 games to finish this championship.
“The season is long and every week the situation could change.
“Now it is important we are very comfortable together. It is better to stay at the top but, now we are behind, it doesn’t change our target.
“I’m still confident about winning the Premier League. We were top for months but it just so happens that we are second with 10 games to play. It is important that we are there around the top.
“We know United have gone top, like we were, but now we should be more strong and it is a test for our players. It has been a difficult last four days for me but football is like this.
“The season is long and what happened today can happen also to United.”
Mancini believes his side deserved something out of Sunday’s game, adding: “We missed three or four chances on the counter attack.
“This is the problem at the moment and we conceded a stupid goal.
“I don’t think we deserved to lose this game. Swansea played well in the first 30 minutes but in the second half we had control of the game.”
The City boss also dismissed suggestions of a rift with England midfielder Gareth Barry, who exchanged angry words with assistant manager David Platt as he left the field after being replaced.

“Gareth has had a problem for three weeks,” said Mancini. “Gareth has a problem, I don’t know where. It is a small injury.
“They had a lot of possession in the opening 30 minutes and we needed another striker to press high, not because Barry played badly.
When asked about Barry looking unhappy at being taken off, Mancini replied: “This is normal.
“I decide this. I’m the manager.”
Asked about reports that striker Mario Balotelli and midfielder Yaya Toure had a bust-up in the tunnel at half-time, Mancini replied: “I don’t know.”
As for his latest update on Carlos Tevez, Mancini feels that the Argentine striker is still 10 days away from being fit enough to play for the first team.

Euro 2012 travel ban for 2,500 England yobs
TRAVEL bans will be slapped on 2,500 English football hooligans today to stop them going to the European Championships.
The army of yobs will be ordered to hand over their passports to stop them wreaking havoc in Ukraine and Poland during the summer tournament.
The crackdown will target 2,481 thugs who have been given football banning orders, the Home Office announced.
As well as handing over their passports the hooligans will be prevented from leaving the country during an official “control period”, from May 29 to July 1.
Anyone else who gets a banning order between now and the tournament will also be ordered to surrender their passport.
Ministers believe travel bans in recent years have boosted England fans’ image abroad.
None were arrested for violent disorder at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa — and they were voted best fans at the 2006 tournament in Germany.
Home Office minister Lord Henley said: “We are determined to ensure our football fans’ reputation for good behaviour continues and we will use all our powers to ensure those thugs intent on violence will not be allowed to travel to the Ukraine and Poland for the duration of Euro 2012.”

Redknapp casts doubt over England job after admitting leaving Spurs would be tough

Crystal Palace 1 – 1 Albion
February 1, 2012
You can see us holding hands, but we can’t see the pitch
The Return to Selhurst. It was an old school football outing up in South London last night. A big Albion mob of 2700 turning up at the crumbling home of the hated Crystal Palace seeking revenge for the 3-1 drubbing at Falmer back in September. Well, we didn’t exactly get that, but the entertainment was top value.
The train situation – with suspiciously malfunctioning points systems on the Brighton to London line – meant that there was a bit of a crush to get into the Arthur Waite Stand in time for the 8pm kick off. But we made it – just – and took our standing places (no sitting at this fucker, no way) roughly where our tickets indicated. I ended up stood on the steps, as the place was jumping and everyone was stood on seats, walls and concrete screaming at the embarassingly empty Whitehorse Lane End and the Park Road lot opposite. What sort of home turnout was this for a supposedly bitter derby? Even the Palace Groupon deals couldn’t get the Nigels to fill the place. Very sad, for the banter stakes alone.
The Arthur Waite is very old school, and the Albion turned it literally into a terrace, all-standing, half smoking and loads of beer being drunk in view of the pitch, naughty, naughty, not me of course. The view and atmosphere was very 1980s, and there were strange cables and other bits an bobs hanging from the gantries and roof, very odd. And, even though I moved around quite a lot with the ebb and flow of a noisy away support, a big wet drip kept dropping on my swede, although the night was dry and freezing. I do hope it was rain water.
At half-time I went for a slash in the underground ‘toilet’, and to my amazement found myself aiming my stream to the left of an upturned electric hand drier in the trench urinal. How it got there is anyone’s guess, well actually it’s not, and it’s not on trying to wreck the ground like that, even Selhurst Park. Bad form.
A walk on the tame side back to Norwood
The match – quickly – Palace edged the first half, with drama bitch Zaha taking the piss a bit. I felt we were lucky to go in at the break 0-0. Second half, and the Holmesdale ‘Fanatics’ (more of whom later) pelted Brezovan in our goal with what looked like used bog roll wipes, they’re no Galatasaray this lot. Zaha duly went over for a penalty, it looked like a dive from where I was peering through the cables and falling masonry of the Arthur Waite. 1-0. Then ten minutes later, the excellent Buckley mugged their defender and went sprawling in the penalty area himself, soft penalty, cool headed Ash Barnes put that one away with aplomb. We then finished the game well on top, and the addition of Adgestein and new boy Sam Vokes was nearly the masterstroke that won us the match.
The fans. The noisiest Albion away crowd for many a year, songs about the Palace Groupon fiasco and “You stupid bastards, You burned your own town” alluding to Croydon going up in smoke during last summer’s riots, meant we easily won the banter/fan face off.
