We all know this, but the fact that they all, to a man, gave up and en masse didn't give a shit still rankles with me. A cup final for bejeezus sake! A chance to win a medal. The glory etc etc . If those players had the attitude that Wigan had, we'd be looking at our 7th straight PL title by now. Pah!!
Right.. I hate the rags but actually felt a bit sorry for them under Moyes and Van Gaal. Happy to say that with them under Maureen I am back to full on hatred. And yes I have been supporting City since 82 and know the shit we put up with for years from their supporters.
I liked watching Cantona and Scholes play.
Toure needed to go 18 months ago and we should have kept Fernando instead.
The atmosphere at Maine Road was not as good as many make out on BM.
Kinky was a great player but I actually preferred Dave White.
Mourinho is a very good manager and with a better squad United would be up there with us in the table
I rate both Pogba and De Gea
I think some posters on this forum are physically incapable of having a reasonable discussion about United which I think is a great shame
Klopp and Conte are good for the PL
Kane is nowhere near enough of a clutch player to be considered a world class footballer at present. Might be within a couple of years though. He's appropriately the Pochettino (as a manager) of players
Christian Eriksen would make a great Silva replacement
Our most complete and best performance this season was in the 1st half away at Feyenoord
I don't give a shit about atmosphere, singing, early leavers etc. And I think it's lame when supporters have a go at other supporters for not being good enough fans. Particularly ones that pay for tickets and go to matches.
Delph is a tad overrated. Not for his performances, but for his actual level of ability.
Sterling is still really underrated
Danilo is an easy target because he's new
Walker has been our best player this season after KDB
People still don't understand what it is Jesus does and it's annoying to read that 'He runs a lot and only scores tap ins'
In fact, people still don't understand that most of the actual work we do on the pitch is off the ball
Otamendi is also still underrated somehow
Silva has had just as many problems linking up as any other player has with Sane. In fact, it's annoying how often it isn't Sane's fault
People seem to forget how young the likes of Sane, Sterling, Bernardo, Ederson, and Jesus are at times (and I'm sure Mendy too when he's back)
"We need a big man to get on the end of all these crosses" - We absolutely don't
Aguero is clearly over the hill and doesn't fit into the way we play, and the way some people turn a blind eye to it is embarrassing
Despite that, he's still a sensational player who in the right (maybe not big) games is the perfect player for us and the way people have got on his back is equally embarrassing. You can be critical without being a dick
Bravo has got A LOT of unfair stick this season from certain quarters for someone who's not done that much wrong
Foden is way better than Diaz is right now
Diaz has far more potential than Foden though and is much more likely to make it at City
As excellent as they are, football simulation games like FM are not scouts and people need to realize that
My most out there and controversial idea, but I believe Pep in his ideal world has chosen Sterling to be heir apparent to Silva
I believe I was the first or one of the first on the player thread to question Ederson's positioning. I regret it.
I think it's weird that people get upset that football clubs are run as businesses
Anyone who is against anything progressive just because it's new shouldn't be in the football media (Tyler's comments on not being able to get excited for a goal just because of VAR were saddening)
Any pundit that blames zonal marking alone for conceding from a set piece also shouldn't be in the football media
Refereeing incompetence is magnifying due to the increasing speed of the game, not corruption
The academy is there to produce talented footballers. It successes come down to how many make it at higher levels, not how many make it for City (Like the class of 08)
Am I the only person who saw the deflection on SWP's goal off the crossbar in the 4-1?
I'd take Berkovic over Benarbia if I had to choose
Even United fans hate Duncan Castles
Speaking of Castles, he's an irritating example of a potentially good journalist ruining himself due to his biases. He often makes very good points and I think he has it in him to be a great journalist. But it's his ability to write well and intelligently combined with these biases that makes him a great evil on the game instead. Custis too to a lesser extent, although he's a weaker writer
Alyson Rudd however is simply a very bad journalist. I wouldn't count on her to be able to tell me the time correctly. The fact she's so blatantly bad means she's less harmful.
I like both Sam Lee and Sammy Lee
And lastly, I never liked being the butt of every joke from United fans at every stage of my life before 2012. But for that reason I try not to take the piss out of them now, as I'm not the eye for an eye kind of guy (But that's just me. I don't want to impose this idea)
A fan who watches the matches on TV in Nigeria is just as big and important a fan as you are and this "but I'm a local fan" stuff is small time bollocks.
QPR threw the game at 2-2 when they knew they were safe. We all know it.
People who hark back to the "good old days" when we were crap are remembering a time that doesn't exist. Being a City fan was fucking shit for most of the past 30 years before the takeover and I refuse to believe anybody actually enjoyed going every week and watching us get fucking twatted by Swindon or some other bunch of plodders. I was there too, it was wank./QUOTE]
- A fan who has been around for years who unfortunately lives miles away (e.g. Nigeria) - fair enough - but most people like that are fans because we are good. They aren't fans. They are followers.
- QPR didn't throw it
- the good old days (ignoring shit quality grounds) were good old days. Drawing away to a team 12th was a real buzz. A point gained. Now you can be disappointed with a draw away at the team 7th. A win is needed to stay with others. When you are shite expectation is lower and any non defeat is a great weekend. Gillingham will always be as enjoyable a day for me as QPR
