Far too often players are compared to other players and evaluated on that basis rather than seeing them as different players with their own unique skillset and mentality.It certainly wasn't apparent he would be so key to the team. He played in the shadow of yaya, was slightly better than Fernando, and yes wasnt De Jong
Should have been off at HT, Allan, Davies & Decoure kicked lumps out of him yet the skinny runt still took the piss, watching him 12 months on is frightening he's a wonderfull player with the world at his feet & 1 of our ownA little ‘off topic’ post …. But can you imagine being Foden, in bed tonight, and thinking, the boss subbed me early to save for the CL final, before; De Bruyne, Diaz, Fernandinho, Mahrez …. :O

He should have gone out on loan to Wayne Rooney's Derby to learn the game.A little ‘off topic’ post …. But can you imagine being Foden, in bed tonight, and thinking, the boss subbed me early to save for the CL final, before; De Bruyne, Diaz, Fernandinho, Mahrez …. :O

This must be the first post in bluemoon history to mention Whit walks and football in the same breath. Now if you'd got Wakes week in Blackpool in there as well ...I was really concerned as well. Kept thinking I hope they have got a jumper or something under their Champions tops like I used to wear under my Whit Sunday walks dress when we weren't allowed to wear cardigans or jumpers!! My Mum always bought a white cardigan to go under the dress!! :-)
I was quite concerned when I saw a blur of pink coming in like a steam train , our Eddie is quite the lump!Is there any word on whether everyone has recovered from the pile on after Sergio’s first goal yesterday?
Go to the Piccadilly Tap on the station approach next time mateGlass of wine in the ground???? Some buggers have all the luck, no alcohol for us peasants in the cheap seats.
Talking of wine I made the mistake of going into that pub upstairs in Piccadilly station pre game. No bitter on so I asked for a large glass of house red. £8.07!!!!!! He asked if I wanted a receipt and I said, "No thanks it's bad enough I've been robbed I don't want a reminder."
Mate, this is such a good post, really nice of you to share that!I really enjoyed that game yesterday, we looked in the mood from the first minute and no coasting. Everyone played well to be fair, hard to single people out....but to see Aguero come on and play like that, it was the icing on the cake. You could see what it meant to everyone as well when he scored, not just Kun.
Someone in an earlier post said they really enjoyed their day at the ground as they were with their dad and maybe these moments together would become fewer and fewer, which I found quite moving. It's always been difficult over the years to get to any games for me living so far away, let alone with my dad. My dad is sadly now departed but it's through him that I started to support City. He didn't really have 'his team' because he just loved watching any football teams who had flair.....and at that time he loved the Mercer/Allison team and always had a soft spot for City, hence my supporting City ever since. So yesterday I sat there watching this current City team and thought about the glorious football they've served up over the past few years......and there's no doubt at all my dad would have absolutely loved them, he would have raved about them and raved about Pep. Go and complete the job on Sat and make my old man (and me) very happy.
I think Dinho only really came into his own, when Pep came along and started playing him as the only defensive midfielder/ pivot.It certainly wasn't apparent he would be so key to the team. He played in the shadow of yaya, was slightly better than Fernando, and yes wasnt De Jong
thanks for sharing that it brought a tear to my eye , reminded me of my dad who is no longer here but thanks to him Im a blue , he used to rave about how we used to play in the 60s and early 70s ( I never used to believe him due to how rubbish we were) he sadly didnt get to see us post take over or 93:20 , he would have loved Peps style of football and our current success , he would be telling everyone that would listen just how great we areI really enjoyed that game yesterday, we looked in the mood from the first minute and no coasting.

But he didn’t we were allowed 10000 and Burnham, Gallagher, Marr wouldn’t have counted in that 10000 allocation. Now whether you think celebs should get priority tickets is a different argument, the club probably like the publicity it generates,but they didn’t take anyones ticket.I wasn’t bothered about who did and who did not get a ticket, but city should hang there head in shame giving a ticket to Andy Burnham before a real fan.......fumming
This actually really freaked me out Bert coz we was in there before the game are you a Russian spy:,-)Fred's Ale House shut by then?
