Fair enough. We have a hard enough time with the press without ending up in court because you failed to pay your cleaner, drove dangerously down a motorway with your feet on the dash, get embroiled in a stupid Twitter spat that’s leaked to the press. But I guess I am just old fashioned :-)He's accusing you of having a go at Riyad's missus by the looks of it.

I don't want anything other than honesty, though I couldn't care less really.I don't know what you want from me Sir.
You are clearly a Mahrez fan boy above most other things, and I and everyone else can go back and read your post history, which starts a few months after Riyad Mahrez signed for City, and seems to be mostly on threads or comments about him, and given all the success City have had since 2012, I don't really see why I shouldn't be able to question your objectivity on the subject ?
"You" and "your", so who do you support other than Riyad ?
Have you ever been to Manchester to watch Manchester City ?
There are some hardcore Mahrez fans around here who don’t care much about the club, any club, Mahrez plays for. It would be interesting to see if they will continue following City once he is gone. They are deluded to the extent that they believe he is better than Raheem, Leroy or Bernardo. I remember that at least one of them was claiming he is even better than KDB. In any case, Mahrez could be a world beater/class/whatever; he is far from that by the way, but what really matters is that he has serious limitations and doesn’t fit our system. The odd goal or assist every now and then will not change that. Getting him was a mistake, which may happen at any club. Knowing how City function, I am hoping that sooner or later this mistake will get fixed.

Alright. Let me tell you the reason I have written a lot about Mahrez and (to a lesser extent) Gundogan. Reading last year's "Mahrez is shit" thread, I got disheartened by how a talented player got denigrated by a vocal segment of posters in this forum. It really hit me. Then, looking at how Gundo is treated, I got a sense that there is a clear pattern there. Confession: I could care less about football (although I got dragged into some football nonsense lately) but I see the Manchester clubs as useful for our youth and I am ready to support them without being a football fanboy (lol). My last conclusion and firm belief is this:
THESE TWO PLAYERS (AND OTHERS) ARE CLEARLY VICTIMS OF PRONOUNCED DISCRIMINATION AND TRIBALISM FROM MANY SIDES. I HATE IT TO FEEL THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE FROM MY HOME CITY TREAT "CERTAIN" PEOPLE LIKE THIS.
I can't change the world but I don't have to always agree with it. I don't expect you to agree or even understand what I am saying.
End of.

You don't get it. It's more global than just me and you.

LOL I can understand what you say, but perhaps people who go to watch the games comment on what they actually see on the pitch. Its clear that you aren't a City supporter, football is "tribal", Mahrez (and Gundogan) polarise opinions amongst City fans because we have opinions on how they play, and these two are erratic, and if you look harder you'll see they get complimented when they deserve to be.Alright.
