Roberto Mancini

Now after watching another press conference with Roberto Mancini, I am getting very concerned that he maybe Frankenstein’s monster.

He used to wear a big thick Man City scarf during ALL Man City games, if it was hot or not. I thought this was a bit of a gimmick to win over City fans, but I saw him in an interview last year when he had a very high collar on his coat which went up to the bottom of his ears.

Today on sky sports he was in a press conference with a shirt on, but a massive white towel round his neck, up to his ears.

I know now that this should not bother me, but it really is starting to now!

What are your thoughts on this?

My thoughts are as follows.

A long time ago in a faraway land, my work colleagues and I got out after a long drive, and I noticed that our Land Rover was leaning to the left.

‘Why is the Land Rover leaning to the left?’ I asked.

‘Who gives a fuck,’ came back the explanation.

Ever since, I’ve found this a useful way to sort the world.

But only sometimes! Come on a bath towel in a press conference, that is weird! I think that he has an issue that he is not comfortable with his neck!

So you question nothing! Hmm.

Clearly he has been covering up love bites.

Funnily enough, that’s kind of what happened. The Land Rover was crashed by a cameraman who’s somewhat famous in the industry for calamities. But it was just pushed back upright and on we went.

Still leaned to the left though.

I think we can all agree with that. Makes Nigel Pearson’s press conference frollicks pale in comparison.

Well, Furball, I suppose some would say that’s better than leaning to the right.

I have to say that I agree with those sentiments.

That is weird.

No, what I’m saying is with your ‘who gives a fuck’ question you’ve got Occam’s razor right there.

That doesn’t mean the mystery of Mancini’s scarf isn’t important - the left-leaning Land Rover riddle has nagged at me for more than two decades - it’s just that it can’t be solved. We can have our theories: mine is that Mancini has converted to Islam but fatally misinterpreted the modesty rule.

But ultimately, your question cannot be answered - it’s in the same order of questions as how can free will and God co-exist?

Sometimes the answer to a seemingly unsolvable problem is just staring you in the face.

Given that the Landrover was crashed by the cameraman, I can only deduce that Furball is carrying a bit of timber.
