Give Roberto the Ball

Roberto Mancini attacks David Moyes for the ball during Man City and Everton's fixture yesterday..



Mancini lost his cool for a minute yesterday, but good looks.  His players will respect him for this, even though this type of behavior will probably warrant a fine from the FA.  Either way they were down 2-0 and needed to get something going.

Robinho flying back to Santos

Robinho is heading back to Brasil. He is joining Santos on a six-month loan. He was Manchester City's first "big" signing after they were taken over by Arab oilmen.
