    Yep would not be where we are without him.

    Also John Guidetti got his 3rd hat trick in 4 matches today while on loan at Feyenoord. Not too shabby for a 19 year old.

    Not too shabby at all. Tweeted at Steve_mcfc a moment ago asking about that Everton handcuff guy to see if there was ever an explanation for that. He responded and said he hadn't heard one. Have any of you?

    So Tevez is back tomorrow. Going to be interesting to see if he even plays a part at all in the run-in.

    Since Sky only shown a 1/10 of the interview. Here is the interview translated by an argentine website (http://www.mundoalbiceleste.com)

    TEVEZ: "I decided not to talk to the media for the last four months. Last time I spoke was right after the Bayern Munich game"
    TEVEZ: "It was a delicate situation. I decided to say nothing about it during all this time"
    TEVEZ: I want to go back to Manchester and win over the City fans back. People turned their back on me but it's normal. I didn't understand
    TEVEZ: "I didn't understand City fans burning my shirt. It hurt. It's normal they react like that because they read all sorts of thing
    TEVEZ: I've decided to return to City. I know I have what it takes to revert the situation. I know it'll be hard, but it's a nice challenge
    TEVEZ on the Bayern episode: "I have warmed up during the 1st half. Then went to dressing room. For 2nd half I was ready"
    TEVEZ: "In that 2nd half MANCINI decides to replace DZEKO with DE JONG. It was a defensive sub. I didn't understand. DZEKO argued w/MANCINI"

    TEVEZ: "MANCINI was upset after arguing with DZEKO, he turns around and sees me. Then he sends me, like a dog, to warm up again"
    TEVEZ: "MANCINI told me all sorts of things there. I don't know why. I was relaxed. I was talking to ZABALETA. I had no problems"
    TEVEZ: "I never refused to play. I refused to keep warming up. The club investigated and then they fined me"
    TEVEZ: "I was worried about my future after that 2-week fine. That fine was OK. But I want people to know the truth. They didn't want to"
    TEVEZ: "The club statement protected the manager. I got a lot of heat from the media in England, Argentina, everywhere".
    TEVEZ: "Everytime I wanted to take my daughter to school I had 5 journalists on my back. Trained with the reserves. It was uncomfortable"
    TEVEZ: "I was affected because of this situation. I wanted to find shelter with my family".
    TEVEZ: "It is true that AC Milan had an interest in me. City didn't want to lose $. It wasn't good for City having me away in Buenos Aires"
    TEVEZ: "I have been training on my own. I know I can be back on the pitch in 2 weeks. I'm willing to play"
    TEVEZ: "It was really emotional being back at La Bombonera (Boca Jrs stadium) for the Martín PALERMO testimonial. It was moving"
    TEVEZ: "If it's true that MANCINI said he will welcome me back if I'm fit, then I like those quotes. But if he only said it for the media...
    TEVEZ: "But he also said I was never going to be playing for him again. So I don't know. I'll do my best to be available and play"
    TEVEZ: MANCINI's position got stronger when Kun AGUERO arrived. I don't know if he would have done the things he did if this was last season
    TEVEZ: Last season we almost exchanged punches! But he never said anything. He got a better team this season & felt like making the decision
    TEVEZ: "Now that I have a cooler head, I understand City fans. Back in the heat of the moment I didn't. I did a lot of things for City"
    TEVEZ: "To be insulted by fans after what happened in Munich was something I didn't deserve"
    TEVEZ: "I was very upset by everything and maybe I wasn't seeing things clearly. That Bayern episode could have been avoided"
    TEVEZ: "They could have kicked me out of the club without saying all the things they said. Deal with the situation in a different way"
    TEVEZ: "I think that's where MANCINI got things wrong. If we had a problem, we could have sorted it out in a different way"
    TEVEZ: "Last season, after a home game vs. Newcastle, we almost hit each other in the dressing room. But we spoke the following day"
    TEVEZ: "MANCINI is a winner. And I'm a winner too. None of us like to lose"
    TEVEZ "My first few months in England (West Ham), I felt terrible. I wanted out. I wasn't playing. But I worked hard & turned things around"
    TEVEZ: "I love the English league. I think it's the best in the world. I have a problem with Christmas and New Year's Day. You have to play"
    TEVEZ: "Going to train on 24 December, sometimes play on the 25th. It's tough. I didn't like that"
    TEVEZ: "There's no need for City to make me have 2 training sessions a day. I'll do it myself."
    TEVEZ: "I picture myself going back on the pitch and I know I have to play better than I ever did"
    TEVEZ: "I suffered a lot with the national team too. I saw myself out of Copa America. I came here and I wasn't prepared to play that Copa"
    TEVEZ: "I felt I wasn't going to be considered. So I didn't prepare. But I came back here and people showed me a lot of love"
    TEVEZ: "Fans here in Argentina have always been great to me. I will keep playing because I'm still hungry for more glory"
    TEVEZ: "I remember fans were insulting Sergio BATISTA (Argentina former manager). And I changed my mind and wanted to play for ARG again"
    TEVEZ: "Argentina need to start building up the team from the GK and forward. We've been doing it the other way around"
    TEVEZ: "If a team can defend well, then it will attack well. Any team that stopped us going forward, would beat us or at least get a draw"
    TEVEZ: "Argentina should always be a candidate to win any tournament we enter. Just see the kind of players we've got"
    TEVEZ: "It's easy to play together with MESSI. I don't know why in Argentina people now say it's either TEVEZ or MESSI. I love that midget!"
    TEVEZ: I don't like the fact that some people want to make this as if it is TEVEZ v. MESSI. It's not like that. We have a great relationship
    TEVEZ: MESSI told me to go talk to BATISTA & ask him if he had any problems with me. Cause he went to Manchester to see ZABALETA but not me
    TEVEZ: "BATISTA told me I wasn't in his plans for Copa America but I would be for the World Cup. I told me if I wasn't in Copa, then..."
    TEVEZ: "...I wasn't going to be available for selection in the future".
    TEVEZ: "Mauricio MACRI (former Boca Jrs president, current Buenos Aires mayor) asked me to come to Boca for free in 2 years"
    TEVEZ: "I have to thank Coco BASILE and the people at Tigre for their efforts to sign me too. But my heart belongs to Boca"
    TEVEZ: "I train in the mornings. I play a lot of golf. In England it's the middle of winter now so I won't be able to play much. I love it"
    TEVEZ: "My first goal now is to be back at full fitness. I have trained on my own but lost contact with the ball. Gotta get that back"
    TEVEZ: "It's tough to talk about City's title challenge now. I feel like I'm out the squad. I wish I can go back there and help them win"
    TEVEZ: "I know FERGUSON really doesn't want to lose this title race. I think FERGUSON and BIELSA are the best managers"
    TEVEZ: "I know FERGUSON didn't have the best relationship with me but together with BIELSA, those two are the best managers I had"
    TEVEZ: "Paul SCHOLES is the best professional. Him ROONEY and GIGGS...I have no words. They were excellent to me"
    TEVEZ: "I know I have a huge challenge ahead. I'm full of energy. Thanks to all the people that were with me during these last 4 months..."
    TEVEZ: "...I have discovered the love for the game again. I want to play again. I want to train. Things I've lost 4 months ago"
    TEVEZ: "I'll do my best to do that. I said I was going to retire at 28 and was thinking about it, but not anymore. I want to succeed again"

    Another quote I missed & I get from listening back. "I was grumpy and upset because MANCINI had stripped me of the captaincy with no reason"

    It's akin to taking the crazy ex-gf back who swears she has changed. Won't be tomorrow or maybe even a month or two from now, but at some point, the crazy is coming. The only thing I am in favor of is giving him throwaway minutes and hoping he returns to form so we can deal him next transfer window.

    Playing like we know we can give up a goal and not worry. Pretty loose, going to catch them on a counter with Aguero soon, they are sending a lot forward.

    Silva taps one in on an assist from Pizarro. As I am typing, Pizarro puts one in the back of the net! An assist and a goal in 5 minutes of play for Pizarro.

    4-0 on the day, 6-1 agg.

    Pizarro goal was great, seemed like 5 players touched the ball on the build up. I think Dzeko made the last pass.
