Go on Danny get your medals out. Then Georgie will get his shedload out. Actually liked Samaras worked his arse off here, but had the likes of Corradi to partner him. Danny Mills robbed us blind, wanker.

In which game?

Did mills use any of the following...

Couldn't hit...

Cows arse

Barn door

And / or with a banjo??

Funny I usually do!

Can somebody remind me how much pearce wasted on this 'striker'? Wasn't he pearce's big signing which just about sums him up as well.

As for mills, there's a bloke who believed his own hype but never backed it up on the pitch in a blue shirt, fair play to him got a great face for radio!

Mills vs Everton means he was worth every penny. I won £200 on that result with a mate.

Samaras is a bit of a myth amongst City fans now.

He played much of his City career on the left wing as Pearce thought his all round game was shite. He was our top scorer in 06/07 and scored 6 in his first 8 games. His biggest problem is that rotund alcoholic Richard Dunne and noted psychopath Joey Barton thought Dickov was more of a grafter thus a better player and told the papers. With Dickov, Hamann, Dunne, Barton and Vassell in our team, we were the definition of a bunch of workhorses over finesse and Pearce seemed to actively encourage it,which led to the now famous season of shit.

Pearce didnt have the dressing room under control and for some reasoned, signed a highly technical striker from Heerenveen then stuck him on the left wing of a bunch of plodders. Genius. He was also told that as a striker, he had to stop running out wide because he "wasnt Ronaldinho". Imagine if Wenger told a young Henry that?

We didnt play his football and he didnt want to adapt to ours. His stints pre-City at Heerenveen and post-City at Celtic show that hes a decent player who got stuck in a bad situation at City. Good luck to the lad.

If Samaras is so technically gifted, why's he playing in that pub league up North?
Pearce bought the wrong player from Heerenveen.
Huntelaar was banging all the goals in there and we bought fucking Sam Harris

As for Danny Mills, a nob off the pitch maybe, but he gave his all when he played.
The season before he joined we were so close to being relegated. A penalty taken by Dickov for Leicester saved by David James is pretty much what clinched Premier League survival
The following season, Mills and Thatcher were signed and they sealed a leaky defence.
Mills played for us for weeks with a broken leg and when he was frozen out, he did everything possible to play including going out on loan twice, unlike Wayne Bridge who refused a number of offers

I'm sure it was a lighthearted comment, but I imagine most Blues hold Samaras in higher esteem than Mills. I still cringe though at an email I sent to a few Blue mates when we were first linked with Samaras of a YouTube video of his career highlights, entitled "The boy's a bit special". You could argue that he did indeed turn out to be a bit special, but not in the sense I meant.

Incidentally, one of Mills' teammates at City described him to me as "undoubtedly the biggest prick I have ever met in football".


That's what I was told as well!


Considering the aforementioned player also shared a dressing room with Joey Barton, it's some accolade.


A quick google will tell who that was ;)

35k a week for 5 years and did fuck all - remember his witty one liner at the pre season game at Shrewsbury when he was "warming" up - someone shouted out "are you still here"? at which the ever so funny danny mills responded "yeah are you?" - oh how we laughed, at the fucking overpaid, snidey useless fuckwit

I remember samaras being on fire for a few golden weeks..... Then we had Wigan in the league on Saturday and West Ham on the Monday in the cup q final.

Samaras was injured, but we had an outside chance of Eufa, so Pearce stuck him on the bench against Wigan. That game went tits up, Pearce didn't know whether to twist or stick, so put him on, where he failed to turn the game, and if I recall correctly wasn't available on the Monday.

Had he been handled better during that phase of his 1st season with us would he have trained on, I doubt it personally, but Pearce's judgement at that stage of that season was particularly poor, but he had very few available options.

I was always of the view that we should have jibbed the league game in favour of the quarter final.
