Strange one that. I was filling in a City team of the decade and I had the choice of Clichy or Kolarov. I plumbed for Kolarov because of his technique - which was incredible at times - but I wasn’t overly enthused about it. He’s no Terry Phelan that’s for sure.Can agree with all of that. Left back has been a problem for years.
The hapless Maicon too.When Mancini asked for RVP, Hazard and De Rossi and we delivered him Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell and Javi Garcia
Bingo. City are exposing the owners of other clubs for what they are - greedy penny pinchers - and they hate them for it because they’re now having to spend their gains in order to maintain some sort of parity.Accepting Liverpool's hush money for the hacking scandal, seems like they had no idea how badly Liverpool as an institution wanted to take Manchester City down or what an enemy of the club they would become off the pitch. Having that to hold over them, would have been useful in getting them and their cronies to shut the fuck up, about a bent law aimed at getting clubs like theirs back to the top of European football.
Makes me laugh when every Liverpool fan thinks their club isn't spending as much as Manchester City or even United for the good of the game. No you morons, you don't have the money to outspend the richest clubs even if you wanted to, you wouldn't have had a choice in the matter, FFP effectively saved your arses from being left behind. Liverpool's owner doesn't want to compete in spending even if the club had it and it's nothing to do with the good of the game, it's the good of his pockets. Stop fooling yourselves and sugar coating everything with red icing.
Allowing the FA Cup final in 2013 to be derailed by news of Mancini's departure. We should have won the game. The fans were all talking about it pre-match and the players didn't really turn up.
There have been a few other major issues. Mancini probably should have gone sooner. But overall, 4 league titles, 2 FA Cups and 4 league cups is a great return. A major trophy every year. We have made it to the CL semi finals and quarters a couple of times and not quite made it but for a side relatively new to the CL that isn't bad. If we can add a domestic trophy and the CL this season then this squad in particular will go down as one of the greatest ever.
Mike Dean, if I remember correctly, didn’t help the matter. The foul on Aguero by Young was not only a penalty but also a red card.The 2nd half collapse against the rags when we could have won the league against them. Almost a once in a lifetime opportunity, squandered.
And shame on you because before you got that City Matters gig you used to say exactly the same as me about Soriano and what he’s done in the background to our support.Absiolutely. Our biggest mistake was not fucking off all those fans who still think things were better when we in League 1.
