What are your unpopular opinions on City that you believe 100%?

Is ridiculous for ridiculously good or ridiculously bad?

As I see it, we already have a ‘like’ facility, adding a ‘dislike facility helps balance the narrative and have a ‘ridiculous’ facility that sits somewhere between the two introduces some very necessary ambivalence.

Generally speaking, subject to many changeable influences, I’m more or less all for, or thereabouts, more or sometimes less vagueness . . maybe.

I said he's one of my favorite players but seemed a bit weird, what is unfair or inappropriate about that?

I was genuinely curious as to what you meant by 'something off about him...' given that it's not generally a term used to compliment a person. No offence meant I assure you.

I met and spoke with Vincent Kompany on a couple of occasions. I have to agree with @yankblue, he came across as a rather 'odd' and somewhat 'self-interested' character. Much like a few other foreign players I've met over the years.

Whether or not you would consider this as a 'dark secret' is up to you

Not a 'dark secret' admittedly but that does at least provide a personal insight. I'm unable to offer a view given I never met the bloke.
 
Pellegrini's eyes made me feel uncomfortable.

I have a few:
  • Kompany is one of my favorite players, but there was something off about him. Nothing malicious, maybe he is just a weird guy.
  • Mpenza was one of the most important signings in recent memory. His goals kept us up. Without them, there's no Thaskin takeover, and who knows where we'd be now.
  • If, *if*, Pep and the club brass knew about Mendy and continued to keep him in the squad, that deserves loads of criticism. There's innocent until proven guilty, and "this guy has nine rape allegations against him".

Agree with all these, especially Mpenza. Scored the goals that kept us up under Pearce.

Vinny was a great footballer and a legend for us, but he has that attitude most captains have. You've got to be a bit up your own arse to get to where he did and he was up his own arse. Loved the sound of his own voice for sure.
 
The one that drives me crazy is the "biased commentator" complaint in every single match thread. If we're playing against relegation fodder OF COURSE the commentators are going to get excited if the massive underdog is showing signs of life. They're there to put on an entertaining TV show, not massage our insecurities as a supporter base. Get over it and enjoy the amazing football we play every week without sounding like a child.

That's not a controversial opinion, it's a sensible one. On the telly I barely notice the commentators usually. I sometimes wonder if that insecurity and and paranoia is unique to City fans.
