Bernardo meets Paul Lake

Watching this, makes me feel bad when I read in the recent match forums , how we denegrate brilliant players like Bernardo, KDB, John Stones Gundo, Ederson, who have all been stalwarts and brought massive success to our club.Now they are either ageing and slowing down( which is normal) or else susceptible to injuries( also normal) and we can’t wait to get rid of them.Instead they should be thanked and revered, yes they have to be replaced, but let’s not slag them off when they are City, through and through.Let’s thank them for taking us to such great heights.

It's incredible
 
I accept Swales was a tight git but I could never quite understand why he didn’t pay to be upgraded on the flight back from surgery himself.

He’s a good lad, posts more sense than most of our lot. A bit like Stockport Mackem and westyorks owl. Those 3 are like legacy City, fans, more grounded. What has our fanbase become?!

Great stuff that. Lakey was a gem of a player - the absolute pick of the academy for years and his loss via injury a terrible blow and so unfair to him, and indeed us. Im convinced hed have played 50 plus times for England and our decent early 90s teams wouldve won something as well had we had his presence within them rather than the sorrow of losing him.

How can you not love Bernardo; his selection of the European Cup semi-final and the 2-1 Liverpool game of January 2019 were perfect I thought. That Liverpool game remains the best quality Premier League/1st Division game Ive ever seen in terms of ability, pace, tension, atmosphere, stakes - it had the lot. The Etihad absolutely crackled that night.

That European Cup semi-final 2nd leg win remains the best Ive ever seen any Manchester City team play - Ive been going to City since 1977; Real Madrid with all its stars couldnt get out of their own half. What a night and atmosphere too - a game and a joy Ill take to my grave with me.

Lovely. I was only but pining for that January 2019 game on Sunday and posted on here during the match.

Yep. Also Swales refused to pay for his then girlfriend to go to the states with him. Reid and Quinn organised a whip round from other players to pay for her to go

I only finished his book a few weeks back. The way the club(aka Swales) treated him was fucking disgraceful! If I hated Swales before the book, I absolutely despise the shithouse of a man now. Just fucking mind bending what they did the lad.
