And if he earns (reputedly) around £300K per week, it means he will have "earned" more in 2 weeks than I did in my 40 year working career, mainly as a Civil Servant.
Let that sink in.

I know I get that about how much money he has or has made. However Im 30 years will he look back with some regret about signing for United.

look when I say I feel a bit sorry for him I don’t mean it in a way that I would feel sorry for say someone who in ordinary life has fallen on hard times I just mean it from a football perspective in that he may have made a wrong choice on the prime of his football career, that’s all. I was just expressing my feelings and looking at it with my football head on rather than a supporters head on.

He probably gets a shit ton of abuse on Social Media everyday and it can’t be easy to read, whoever you are and however mentally tough you can be.

He’s not helped himself by how he interacts on SM though. He could have made it easier.

He could make it much easier for himself by deleting Twitter and Instagram, however much money that would make him lose.

All that being said, it’s probably really depressing playing for that shower these days.

Long may it continue.

When a festering sore of a clubs transfer policy is buy anyone City are vaguely interested in, as stated on Facebook, Twitter, media or whatever, it’s doomed to failure … Silly cunts …!!!

The rags raison d'etre is to keep little city in our place.
Ergo, if we put an offer in for a player then they must get that player, because they (in their heads) are the top dogs.
This strategy worked for a long time (Law, Wilson, Berbaflop etc. were all either linked with, or played for City)
and the rags couldn't have that now, could they.
It would appear that this plan of theirs has hit the buffers and they are heading for a major fall as a result.
This of course will be bad for the English game as we have all been informed...


Firkin SCUM!
 
Seems like they are going after Kane (pen). Good, he won't be coming to us - thank fuck. The rags are welcome to yet another injury prone dead-ball specialist who does fuck all else to help his team.

They'll pay Leavy £165 million for him and the çunt will be injured within one week of signing.

Another former City target going to rag central?

Mrs Vienna would be absolutely delighted if Harry Hotspur ends up at the swamp, as she hates him.

She'd be able to hate him even more!
 
Kane to the scum is another predictable transfer if we going to get Haaland! They know the media be all over it tally up the goals whose better whose a waste of money! Like I say it’s predictable and boring as fcuk.

When you look at City's equivalent of Pogba, De Bruyne, they are poles apart.
KDB is chasing, tackling, as well as producing his expected magic. Pogba does none of that.
No doubt he is a talented player, but in the Premier League you can't play effectively with a straggler.
He shone in Italy, as it is a slower pace; not over here.
Wouldn't last two minutes under Pep for me

This is incredibly flawed thinking. You're judging by the end result.

People said Mahrez didn't press or work hard, Grealish as well. They get here and they work their bollocks off.

If Pogba had come here, he would have chased and tackled as well as producing his moments of magic, because that's what Pep does. He gets great flair and attacking players to work and sacrifice themselves for the team. He did it with Messi and Yaya and Eto'o and Dani Alves at Barcelona and Robben and Ribery and co at Bayern.

Pogba is no more difficult to manage than any of them, he just went to a club that allowed him to be lazy and stagnate because it's such a mess and his moments of quality are so far above his other midfield teammates that the fans loved him for just showing up.

Under Pep, how many players have we gone after, signed, and they turned up and weren't able to press? Weren't fast enough, weren't technical enough, weren't smart enough? None. So why would you assume the players Pep went after but we didn't get would be the only ones?

MCFC ruining shite raggy players mental health since 2008
 
Have they been charged yet for the bottles and stuff thrown as Simone or will it end up under the carpet like the postponed game v Dippers?
Mind you they get regular fines for throwing objects by UEFA, home game v Villareal they got a huge 3,300 Euro fine for objects thrown and 5000 euros for fans on pitch, 8000 fine for 3 people invading pitch v young Boys, got fined for throwing stuff at Di Maria etc etc so you would think the punishments would be higher due to repeated offences
 
A lot of players (particularly rag players) seem to exist in some kind of alternate reality, far removed from the real world. Most of them come from a normal working-class background where you have to watch every penny and you have to scrimp and save just to take the kids to Butlins once a year.
But almost overnight some of these players become multi-millionaires and life suddenly changes for both them and their families/close friends. They no longer have worry if their old Nissan will pass its MOT or not, they just go out and buy a fleet of brand new BMW's, Audi's etc. They have accountants, managers and personal assistants to do everything for them: they arrange appointments, keep passports up to date, advise them on press releases and statements...in short, they pay people to help them exist on a day-to-day basis.

That sort of thing would have a psychological impact on any person, young or old. And I suspect in Pogbad's case he was advised by a member of his inner circle to make such a statement.

Basically, I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

It's a bleeding joke, City got fined for coming a few minuets late to a game and this shower of shite haven't been done for throwing stuff at a manager.

If you remember back to one of our early European games I've got a feeling we were fined or at least sternly warned for making paper planes.
