You want me to cry some more?

No, just cry me a river.

 

[adrianr]

I'd be a properly shit DOF because I'd watch that interview and immediately give the guy a new contract. He really doesn't want to go. Bloody heartbreaking.

 

[jimharri]

There should be a Club Ambassador position ready for him and Bernie once they decide to retire.

Rather either of them than the village idiot.

 

[MCFC !]

There should be a Club Ambassador position ready for him and Bernie once they decide to retire.

Think both of them could be decent coaches - they seem to be Pep's go-to guys when he's trying to get a tactical message across.

Anyway, back on subject. That video was very bittersweet - obviously some incredible memories but also acknowledging that he really doesn't want to go. Reminds me a bit of when Aguero left.

Stones has always been one of my favourites. Remember the mistake in the league cup final against Villa - in the very same game he recovered to have a really good match and definitely got us over the line, seemingly heading everything away (it's a hazy memory these days, granted)

Oh fuck. Johnny Stones, Bernie and Pep on Sunday. How are we going to cope with that.

I hope we get a good photo of the 3 of them waving goodbye. I'd probably have to get it framed.

I hope we get a good photo of the 3 of them waving goodbye. I'd probably have to get it framed.

Its the end of an era. When those three are waving I will see David, Kevin, Fern, Vinnie, Eddie, Kun et all waving just behind them.

Oh god I've set myself off again silly old sod.

Really hope Stones gets some minutes against Villa , would be a nice send off , i liken him to Vinnie one of the best centre backs ever to grace the Premier league but injuries meant they never got the plaudits they deserved , but when they both were fit , just brilliant footballers.Hope he stays fit for the world cup and shows his class.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Can see Stones being a superb pundit should he want to go down that path.

Don’t see him as a manager, but he could be a number 2 should he want.

 

[meeesh]

How many games shy do we think Stones is on where he should be going in to tomorrow? 50/60?

Imagine 11 of that lot and 1 sub. What a team. And no room for Vinny Kompany either.

 

[Dax777]

City's Most talented defender ever!!!!

 

[jollylescott]

The only player to play the entire decade that Pep was here. Bernie joined the following year.

Johnny Stones has always been a a very special player. I didn't want it to happen, but to arrive and conclude the same time as Pep is somehow fitting.

He deserves a fantastic celebration today!

 

[lefty goldblatt]

He's a lucky man ;-)

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Thank you for everything Jonny Stones

 

[adrianr]

Fucking hell give him a new deal before he leaves the ground

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

1st time I cried a substitution since we brought samaras on.

 

[northmr8]

Eccles watching on

 

[madloaf]

1st time I cried a substitution since we brought samaras on.

It was the first time I'd cried in 12 minutes since Bernardo got subbed

 

[jollylescott]

Watching Johnny's farewell has blown me to smithereens :(
