I'm sorry, you're right. Maybe I shouldn't generalize like that. But I have to say all the Arsenal fans I know, many of whom are my friends, buy into the 'doing things the right way' hype and use it as a stick to beat City with. But when things don't go their way, like the start of this season...

Agree with you about Arsenal fans. But how hypocritical is it that Wenger thinks it's morally reprehensible for someone, who obviously can afford it and is not laying debt onto the club, to invest in his own club and players, paying them big salaries, but then on the other hand turn around and...

I'm a Chinese-American City fan who's lived most of my life in Hong Kong, been following since 2003-04 when Sun Jihai joined. He brought me to the club, but the fans, history, and general attitude of everyone associated with the club kept me here, as well as players like SWP, Benarbia, Berkovic...

Thanks DH. Any word on Jovetic? On his thread it seems he had another injury and had to leave training? Hopefully just a rumour...

Just found this on Karim Rekik loan at PSV. Worth a look as it has some short clips on some of his play. Apparently he looks really good on the ball, but has a lot of work to do with his defending, especially his positioning and tackling. Sorry if I'm not posting this in the right place...

I may be wrong but two of their goals looked offside. The live BBC minute by minute said one of the goals was "slightly offside", which doesn't quite make sense... You're either onside or you're not. To be fair, Aguero was offside when he assisted Negredo after Yaya's chipped through ball. But...

Let's forget Dzeko's aggression and tackling for a minute. I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen him receive a ball to his feet, and he can't do the simple thing and control it and pass it on to a teammate. It's not even worth talking about balls in the air to him because he hardly...

You didn't say otherwise, but it was implied when an earlier poster said he seems like he's from an Arabic country and you brushed it off by saying he's Italian born and raised. You then slapped down Cheadle's comment about him being Moroccan by claiming the only player on an Italian national...

The kids name is Hachim Mastour. Sounds Arabic to me. Is there the possibility that someone with non-Italian national parents could be born and raised in Italy and play for the Italian national team at youth level?

Being able to control and pass the ball doesn't preclude a player from being combative and commanding. As you say yourself, Kompany has all three attributes. It's not like he can only use one set of skills during a match. Lescott is a great player for us, but there are times when his lack of...

Unfortunately this is the kind of quote that the media will jump on and spin the wrong way every time, and know one will ever bother to really find out what he said. They'll just remember the headline and bring it up in arguments. You need to read the whole quote to see that he's not saying...

For selfish reasons it's probably a good thing he's not going to the Euro's, but the big problem now is that he's likely to be picked by Pearce for the Olympics, and that means he'll miss a crucial part of our pre-season and the first few games in August. I'm not English so couldn't care less...

The reason why I started supporting City. I'm Chinese from Hong Kong, and even though at the time I had a soft spot for City because of the history (and rivalry with Man U), I don't think I would've chosen to put myself through the pain and disappointment of the past 10 years if he hadn't...

I saw this too. Milner and Yaya were pretty much an equal distance from the Arsenal player that was preparing to shoot. Milner reacted faster and closed him down while Yaya kind of held back. Milner had a bit of a go at him because he must have thought Yaya was the closer man. I didn't see them...

You can't fault Zabba for his effort. But I cringe every time his opponent gets into or around our box. I thought he gave away a pretty clear penalty, we were just lucky the ref didn't see it that way.

Brazilian born. Naturalized Italian.

The club website doesn't think much of him either... They misspelled his name as 'silver'. http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news/2010/August/Blues-down-Valencia-in-final-warm-up How the hell does anyone affiliated with the club not know how to spell Silva's name and how did it get past the...

You are an idiot.

Whether he comes to us or not, you can't blame him for wanting to leave Italy. Look what he has to put up with in the mainstream media: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ1B5jJhmWQ&feature=related Racial abuse from fascist football fans is one thing, but when a national television show can put a...

Do you have stats for assists over those years? Milner has played well consistently for a few seasons now and I thought we should've been in for him when he left Newcastle. But he's not worth 20 plus million pounds. For that one season Ireland was amazing and it would be great if he could get...
