Why Roberto Mancini is my chump of the week

Champ of the week: Joey Barton
Despite at times going well over the top on and off the pitch, Barton can really play decent and responsible football and his display in Newcastle's 5-0 destruction of West Ham this week was an indication of how good he can actually be.

Chump of the week: Roberto Mancini
With so much firepower and ability at his disposal, wasn't it a shame to witness Mancini park the richest bus in the world at The Emirates on Wednesday?

To see Manchester City grovelling for a goalless draw was just embarrassing and pathetic.

Roy Hodgson and Sam Allardyce have already lost, but who will be the next victim of football's newest game “Board of Directors”?
