He played in the middle when he won the award, but he grabbed everyone's attention in the first half of the season when he was playing on the right wing. The majority of his goals and assists from open play(as it doesn't matter where you play to score a pen), were made in the first half of last...

But someone here posted that Silva created the second highest amount of chances in Spain last season, which was countered by VDV creating more chances per minute and thus being the more creative. He also made more passes per minute and tackles than Silva. And that is in a league which was...

He was our MOTM on Saturday also. He created 5 chances on his prem debut.

These aren't fair comparisons as they aren't representative on time on the pitch. To say VDV has played 58 games and Silva is slighlty misleading as it suggests that Silva has had less playing time, when in fact he's had 3895 mins whilst VDV has had 2819. So in the same league as Silva, it is...

He's not any slower than Teddy Sheringam. There are plenty of quality attacking midfielders or second strikers that don't have much pace. But also so many times in recent years we've seen what utter nonsense it is that creative, technically gifted players can't play in CM in the Prem. Thesedays...

Redknapp has only become seen as a 442 coach as last season we were one of the few teams to play that formation. The media have pointed it out and thus it's become gospel that Harry is a 442 man, but the truth is when he came to Spurs he actually changed our formation to 433, from 442. It was...

The large majority of VDV's cap have been as a starter and not from the bench. Silva doesn't have over 60 caps for Spain. I initially joined this forum when you played HSV in the UEFA Cup as i lived in Hamburg and follow them, so know just how good VDV is. English audiences didn't have the...

Modric was actually great straightaway. He was easily our standout player in those first few months and was our MOTM against Boro on his debut. The media claimed he took a while to settle in, but that was down to the fact we were so shit as a team. It's as if they didn't even watch Modric's...

In which case you could argue that Silva' ball winning stats are ven worse as Madrid probably ahd far more possession and thus less opportuntiy t win the ball back. I couldn't say who is the ebtter player, but feel the attitueds to VDV are misguided. The Real madrid fans were certianly won over...

VDV won the battle to start ahead of Guti and Kaka. He didn't just play when injured but in the end was in the team on merit. I'm not saying he's better than Silva, as like most defending Silva, I've seen very little of him, but it's wrong to say Silva is in a different class. Silva played twice...

My point isn't that we can't cope with it, but to answer a question posed on here the other day as to why City are becoming so hated. It isn't just becasue you now have alot of money, but because you now have more attention are people are aware of the attitudes of you fans to others clubs. All...

Sorry, I should proof read more carefully, my spelling is terrible. But you ask who cares and my response was concerned with a thread started the other day by a City fan and contributed to by numerous others, in which it was asked why fans of other clubs have started to hate City. The general...

I made the point the other day that the reason Spurs and other fans are here is becasue of the reputation Bluemoon has. It's genuinaly not doing City fans any favours. There was a thread on here a while ago asking why city are becoming so hated and none of you mentioned Bluemoon posters. There...

This is exaclty what I mean. You lot seem to hate everyone and justify it with comparititvely petty reasons. Can you really, hand on heart, compare Sol Campbell leaving Spurs to join Arsenal on a free with Kendall leaving City for Everton? Reread my post and I did specifically say i could...

It's not fair, but people remember the negatives more the positives. If Everton fans, for example, lurk here (which they will), it will certainly effect they way they view City fans as a whole. I don't know why but I keep reading negative stuff about Everton here and though it is only the...

Basically this is what the City fan hatred towards Spurs is all about. The fact we beat you in a Cup Final nearly 30 years ago. Had you been in other final since, I doubt you'd give a shit anymore. Most Spurs fans have no idea that you dislike us. When we played you at the end of last season...

At the end of last season he did the same against you, Arsenal and Chelsea. It's not like this was a one of performance. Yahoo keep track of match ratings given by every major newspaper and last season Bale had the highest average of any player in the Premier League.

From a non City fan perspective i can't see what all the fuss is about. Bellamy said nothing wrong. I think the issue is that no one likes the idea that the coach you've invested your hope in hasn't spoken to him for 5 months and therefore feel the need to take sides. When in reallity does...

This is the kind of criticism against him I don't get. It's like you are intentionally trying to convince yourself he's being hypocritical, when he's blatantly not. Both cases are different. Harry is responding to West Ham accussing him of unsettling Parker, when all he did was a make a bid for...

Re: The Official Summer Transfer Update Thread - 21/5/10 - 21:02 To finish ahead of a team who have quality midfielders, like Petrov, Reo Coker and Sidwell is truely amazing. Who knows what other magic that man in capable of!
