They can't ignore us at the moment. Lots of goals, good football. They need to keep us on board in case we run off with everything. Still tw#S though.

Never thought I'd ever find myself defending Dwight Yorke on a City forum but he's not the United mouthpiece that many on here believe him to be.

If they're winning he will praise them to the rafters and if they're struggling he'll not hold back in laying into them - basically whatever the narrative is he'll join in, get paid, then return to playing some golf. He knows how utterly meaningless much of modern media is and he plays the game.

I've been lucky enough to interview him five times now and all but one of those occasions his comments made the back pages. All but one has been a jibe at Van Gaal or Mourinho.

I think last year he was given a ticking off about slagging on the club so much while being an 'ambassador' so the last occasion he notably reined it in but I have to say out of all the former players I've interviewed (maybe 50-60) he's my favourite. Which is surprising to me given how much I used to hate the fella.

He's a laugh and just doesn't give a s***.

Also have to say too - while I'm doing this confession - that I've really got to like Gary Pallister since doing the interviews. A genuinely nice fella.

Of the City lot my favourite by a mile has been SWP. Hardly a surprise I guess to say that he was just a lovely guy and it's fair to say that he very much shares our dislike for the rags haha

I think he's a ****.

Herrera: "We won 3 titles last season and City didn't win anything. They need titles. They are obligated to win titles."

Right.. 3 'big' titles.

He actually said trophies. The tweet is wrong if you zoom in to the text.

The article on the left says trophies, the article on the right says titles.

Both are wrong.

Also, I feel obligated to say that Ander Herrera is a twat.

Edited for truth.

ok I get they are shitting it but fuck me I didn't realise how much.

fucking love it.

 

[goalmole]

Jesus. Mind games 5 matches in. Are they shitting the bed already!?

Getting their excuses in, more like.

 

[Bill]

I think we're better than United[/SIZE] and I think they know it. No need for us to engage in mind games or get upset about what's written or said about us. We should continue to do our talking on the pitch and that will apply more pressure than taking the bait ever would

lol just a bit.

I think he's a ****.

His disabled son who he's disowned for the last 10 years also thinks he's a ****.

The guy is a sub human piece of shit.
