Today? In other games?

No you didn't read it properly

You had a beer? Doesn't matter which game I'm on about I'm asking who the fuck do you play instead?

To have seen Tony Book and properly understood his significance to City I'd need to be at least 60.

And no disrespect to Ian Brightwell, but do you really think he's better than a player who has won 6x Premier League titles, a European Cup, 2x FA Cups, 4x League Cups, 2x Super Cups/World Club Cups, and is a 4x Premier League TOTY winner?

Not to mention the 93 England caps he has, the 2x Euros runners-up medals, the 2x European Cup Team of the Tournament awards, and the fact that some of the greatest wingers to ever play to the game have all had nightmares about him, knowing he's one of the most feared RBs in Europe?

Even still, if Book and Brightwell, and, for the sake of this debate, Pablo Zabaleta, were all better than him, that would still make Walker the fourth best RB City have ever had in our 130-year history. He's won more trophies for City than any RB we've had before and has consistently been one of the best RBs in the world for a decade.

Brightwell, good and loyal as he no doubt was for City, played a solid chunk of his football in the second tier and below. His biggest achievement at international level was a small handful of games for England's U21s team. He was also relegated with City twice in 1987 and then again in 1996.

Whichever way you slice it, Walker has been unbelievable for City. Well worth what we paid and more. He's been a big, big part of the greatest City side that's ever had and Pep Guardiola, the greatest football mind of his generation, played him week in week out for years. He deserves to be spoken about better than he is being.

I thought you called yourself youngbob ironically like little John.

Continues to stink the place out. Wouldn’t be anywhere near the pitch if we had an alternative.

You have no answer do you @hilts and that's because we simply don't have anybody else, Rico not good enough and Akanji and Stones can't stay fit it's been the same all season.

It's easy to say don't pick him but who the fuck else plays that position?

 

[clarion]

Sometimes he understands his captaincy like Sheriff to tell others where to defend not looking at himself..

 

[jamesha]

Huge Pep fuck up picking him no matter how many goals he gifts other teams

Pep said that he only had four defenders fit enough to start one of whom was Walker. The only alternatives were Wilson-Esbrand and Simpson-Pusey. The real question should be why are so many of our players not fit!

Sheriff of Nottingham or the one that Bob Marley shot?

Today wasn't a one off though, the guys been great for us but this season he has been awful.

Yeah don't pick Rico cause he's not good enough but pick walker who gives goals away.every bloody game, clever you.

It's his last season for us.

He'll be off to T'blades to have one last hurrah with his club.
