Roberto Mancini laughs off Man City title chances
With just seven games remaining, only the most optimistic of City supporters would believe the deficit can be overturned and most are instead looking forward to tomorrow’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley.
Mancini said: “If United lose against Stoke and we win against Chelsea in the FA Cup and win against Wigan [in the league next Wednesday] – six points, it could be possible. But we need to have three points for the FA Cup! It is impossible.”
