Hi all
was on a stag do recently and was in the car with some people on the stag i was at, they were all talking football while i was trying to sleep but i could hear them one was a liverpool fan one a swindon one neutral and one a spurs and the spurs fan was an absolute tool, the football subject very quicky turned to city & he came out with some great lines
"Players have only gone to city for the money! for what other reason could they go there"
" Barry only went to city for the money " I wanted to say exactly the what the swindon fan went onto say and i am not even barrys biggest fan but to say that i took quite personally, The swindon fan pointed out he had won 2 more trophies at city than if he were to play for spurs arsenal or have stayed at villa
I wanted to argue but i had 2 hours sleep and we were on a 3 hour car drive and i was just thinking can this really be the case that fans still think players are here for the money, does winning the premier league not count as a reason to join a team or the fact we have world class players or a manager that players want to play for or we are the only club rapidly going upwards in the footballing world?
wanted to share my experience has anyone else had this while being in the presence of neutrals?
i'm sure there was a topic like this 2-3 years ago and you may not have been able to argue much but now surely people like nasri , barry apparantly and others have shown that they get paid well but that isn't the reason they joined city .
Although i'm sure it's a nice bonus!
