Just out of curiosity meeesh, is there any City player past or present that you haven't at some point uttered 'fuck sake' followed by their name?

Probably Aguero if I'm being honest from this current crop,mind you in 35 plus years I've been going he is the best there has ever been,so I am probably biased in that respect
 
Raheem has been top notch this season. I like many, have criticised him when he has missed sitters but in the round he has contributed so much to this wonderful season. His workrate, positional awareness, directness, movement have been amongst the best in the Premier League this season. On top of that his goals have won us points equivalent to most of our lead. He has had to put up with so much from the media and other club supporters, isn’t it time that Blues all got behind him 100% and recognise what a talent we have.

I have done that loads of times! Probably every single match he plays. That is the heart of the problem though, none of the people you deride as being in the "Sterling defence gang" say he's perfect, or the finished article, or ever deny he can be frustrating.

The difference is most normal posters on here can see how he earned us half a dozen points with late winners, doubled his goal tally this season and improved so much - and accept that the next one will go in, or that he's still been great overall this season.

Whereas you come on here a week later to tell everyone you hate him for it, and his running style.

My my you are a tetchy soul. There is an ignore facility, use it if you are not enamoured wit my posts or writing style.

I have offered both praise and criticism of Raheem (and others throughout the course of the season). In your opinion, the fact I have criticised Raheem negates any praise I offer him says a lot more about you.

As for the English Grammar lesson - grow up son, its a forum not an exam

Toodle pip Tetchy, hope no one else upsets you with poor use of their keyboard

I think if I was "tetchy" I'd have said something much sooner and you'd have to do a lot more than what you have suggested to upset me or put anyone on ignore. You'll find it to be impossible to locate a single post of mine where I moan about someone's posting style.

Just view it as some constructive criticism and use it to your advantage.

The sun is shining and I have the day off, in fact that's me off for the weekend.

Anyway, before someone tells us to take it to PM, you have yourself a good day.
 
Be reet,he has got a PL winners medal to his name now,and he will be forever grateful he joined us,as it wasn't gonna happen eleswhere,maybe if he stays he will become world class,who knows,I hope he does,if he stays,however if Madrid or Barca come knocking,as suggested,he can leave with my very best wishes,and they will be the most sincere wishes I have given all my life

Constructive criticism , lmfao

Instead of continually asking folk to quantify their opinion, why don't you come up with one of your own for a change. Everything you post, is either a question, or you saying "we'll have to agree to disagree!" The amount of times you have come out with that is quite incredible and indicates a lack of clarity and thought on your behalf. You don't actually appear to offer much opinion, but feel the need to ask everyone for their take on things.

I get the impression Raheem (pretty much the only subject you make an effort at expressing an opinion on) isn't a favourite of yours and I feel you have laboured that point to death without adding anything to the debate due to being incapable - see the Claudio Bravo thread for repeat nonsense. Your faux praising of Raheem does not count; it feels pained and through gritted teeth.

By the way, could you please stop using - (em dash, maybe just use a comma or semicolon) in every thing you write. It's tiresome and unnecessary and you clearly do not understand its use.

All the best.

If there's anything I have said and you do not like it; then we shall just have to agree to disagree :)

I'd "like" this if I could.

Raz to Henry on Sky: "If it's more instinctive with less time to think I'm much better. If it's through on goal and I have too much time to think I try to over-complicate things. That's when I do mess up at times. I have full confidence in myself and believe I'll get it right in time."

His natural movement and positioning is really pretty fantastic already, a lot of his goals are "tap ins" but you need the nous and instinct to get in those positions. Finishing is something you can get better at, being in the right position or making runs is a lot harder.
 
Another goal, another assist and another fine performance.

Gonna be really awkward when he gets shafted for YPOTY tonight.
 
Lovely performance,terrified Swansea.

Still needs to be stronger in the challenge and stop choosing to fall over as a first reaction though,it does him no favours.
 
Played exactly the same 'free role' today as in recent England-Italy friendly. Moved across the pitch, 'sewing' together short combinations.
Signs of some new tactical solutions?

Yeah I think it sounds like Salah has won, apparently Guardiola said the team are all staying together tonight which would suggest nobody won either of the 2 big prizes.

Can't argue against Salah but it's shit about ypoty because Raheem and Sane have been better than Kane this season, both have contributed more than just shooting every time they get the ball.

I could argue against Salah...

To be honest I don't think the players will care too much, but if they do, being overlooked might keep that fire burning under them just a little more for next season.

You could argue for Kev or even Dave but you couldn't say they've been robbed is what I meant.
