All these players hating Manchester

[Mr Partridge]

Robinho i can understand. Hot spanish speaking country, to a hard hostile footballing environment. I don't think he'd ever have settled.

Balotelli, young and misses home (he did say it was his hometown he missed and not milan)

But there's one detail i really don't get....

If Carlos Tevez dislikes Manchester so much, why then when leaving Manchester United did he CHOOSE to stay in Manchester with Manchester City?

Carlos didn't choose Kia Joobrachian chose

I think Kia Joorabchian even chooses what Carlos has for his tea.

Indeed, Kia is the puupet master general

Robinho I can understand, I can't see many Brazilians like Manchester or even England for that matter completely different culture....

Mario, he's 20 years old and lived in Italy most of his life and is home sick that is understandable if it was Zabaleta saying he misses home I really couldn't see it being blown out of proportion like it has with Mario....

Carlos, it's a strange one with Carlos he had 2 years in Manchester at them lot to decide his opinion on the Town whether to stay or not and chose to stay, the guy said theres nothing to do then when suggested things to do he complains about not understanding the language (even though he's been in England for 5 years now) I don't think Carlos has any problems with Manchester I think he moans for the sake of moaning....

I don't think it's Manchester that's the problem but it's the player's own personal problems, I think Mario could grow accustomed to living away from his friends and family I just think going back home to see them during the off season showed him how much he really missed them...

I can think of many places I would hate having to live.

I can't think of one though if I was being paid £150k a week

They need to all STFU and get on with it. They don't realise how lucky they are. How can you complain about where you live when you earn £150k+ a week and retire to your luxury mansion or penthouse apartment at the end of each day.

Also, if you were going to take a job abroad you'd find out a bit about the city, maybe visit first. I know I would.

All this complaining just makes me realise even more what a bunch of spoilt tarts some of these footballers really are...

You both seem to think that money = happiness.

1/ Balotelli did not say he was "unhappy" just that he feels homesick. Between the ages of 22 and 24 I lived away on cruise ships for 18 months, coming back just one time for a period of 8 weeks. By the end it was really getting me down. It is only natural that he's homesick, but he'll push through it.

He actually said though - and I quote(!) - "Manchester is not to my taste"! He said them
exact words.<br /><br />-- Sat Aug 06, 2011 12:13 pm --<br /><br />

Vidic and his missus used to whinge about Manchester all the time

I thought their moan was about England, not necessarily Mcr. I remember the words "grey skies", "leaves don't even grow on trees or plants" and "everyone works too hard in England, everyone is miserable and all they do is work". Not exactly slagging Manchester!

 

[Bill]

There is a theory going around that Tevez isn't exactly bright, that might have something to do with it.

lol, yep he certainly isn't a full peso.

2/ Haven't Tevez's circumstances have changed since he signed for City? His lady has taken his kids back to Argentina.

Didn't take him long to find ''company'' though, did it?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

To be fair they've got a point. Give me 150K a week and then stick me in Manchester. One year later, offer me Barcelona, Sevilla, Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam, Porto, Lisbon or 20 other cities and watch me fucking fly!

But if yer really in 'West London' then Beirut or Khabul would be a better option.

I like the two developments: Tevez ain't coming back to God's Little Acre when he leaves, and Aguero doesn't like hot weather!

I've lived in West London for 7 years and I lived in Manchester for 18 years, and I know which I prefer for my young family. And it's not Manchester mate. So the whole Kabul / Beirut shit applies more to the Burglary capital of the world to be honest.

See all them burglaries? See all them council hoodies fighting on the estates? See all that car theft? See all those shrieking hen nights stamping their stilletoes into faces in town? Keep 'em mate. I don't see those in London.

 

[Bluesince1979]

After 6 years playing and living in the UK, his sum total of English phrases is "IS OK! IS NO PROBLEM!" which he's trotted out at a couple of man of the match speeches.

So I think you might have a point there you know. :-)

I dont know th elegal implications of this but i know a guy who worked at his house and he had to spend a ridiculous amount of money repairing his decor because carlos had a BBQ INSIDE his house, yes, that was INSIDE his house. hmmmm

Industrialised Manchester lacks the 'charisma' of places such as Madrid , Milan and Barcelona ..... and all these players know that before they even come here , so what are they expecting !

I agree. These players sign long contracts and commence whinging half-way through them. This kind of reminds of a scene from Fawlty Towers, when the deaf woman complains about the view from her window and says it isn't good enough. Basil responds, "May I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...?"

I dont like living in manchester but I do it for city!

what really fooks me off with these ungrateful bastards is they dont live in Manchester - most of them live outside of manc in some of the most affluent areas in the UK - maybe we should buy a block of flats in Beswick and let the ungrateful ywats stay there for match days

 

[blumoon]

Hate to say it but most of them care fook all for the club.....potentially we are England's Real Madrid :-(

You should put sky news on then mate!

Maybe he tried but murdoch news corp are too busy in North london.
In any major city there are going to be areas where it is a bit dodgy, areas where the nightlife is great and very expensive, areas where it is great and realitively cheap, but there is the risk of some twat smacking you for no reason.
manchester is like any other major city in eurmpe when it come to these things, it also has a lot of history and culture, as do barcelona, Lisbon, Madrid, etc etc, but it does not have the weather that Barca or Lisbon can enjoy, but there again, neither of these cities have first class cricket grounds on their doorstep, and even if you areon £150,000 a week, if you finish "work" at lunchtime, and cant go into town for a stroll because some idiot is likely to have a go at you for wearing the wrong colour of shirt in your work, it will limit how you can spend your free time (maybe why so many pro-footballers end up with gambling addictions or drink problems)

 

[LoveCity]

The Da Silva twins said they find Manchester boring and go to London whenever they can.

Did the rag media make an issue of this?

Of course not. But there is no agenda.

It is all paranoia.

 

[mcfc_brazil]

Pisses me right off all the 'hate Manhester' crap, ffs every player that moans is on over a hundred grand a week and worst of it is they all live in Prestbury and Alderley edge and they think it's bad, stick them in Moss Side or Wythenshawe see them cry then! On the plus side i read an interwiew with Aguero and he said he dosen't like very hot weather, perfect place then!

 

[Lucky Toma]

Wrote about this very subject for the Sabotage Times yesterday. A couple of rags making snidey comments beneath but overall some positive comments.
