David Silva new appearance record for MCFC

[Blue Bogey]

"PL record" means nothing. PL was just a rebrand, nothing more.

Long may Dave continue to move up our list of top flight appearances

This means nothing. He’s an absolute legend already but he doesn’t need spurious bollocks like this. It’s appearances, full stop. Not “Premier League” nonsense.

Do we need to chalk off the 106 goal record the Centurions scored as well as that was a PL record? Villa plus a few other teams have scored more.

If sides have scored more in the English top division than we did last season then we don't hold the record.
This Premier league only stuff is boll0cks

How many games did Villa play that season? Adjust it accordingly per game and who ever had the highest holds the record.

To an extent I agree but records need to be pro-ratar to take into account 2/3 points per win, number of games & probably rule changes.

Records from for example 'colour TV onwards' are also perhaps a separate type of measurement as football has changed totally. 6-3, 7-2 games happened much more regularly in the old days.

It's all a bit like who is the best player ever for City...could Dave have done what he does now in the 50's, how good would Tony Towers be with today's training & lifestyle etc

Which is why the Centurions points record is a genuinely impressive one - no team has managed it even if you convert 2 points for a win into 3.

Sparky’s great legacy.

TBF, Mendy will have quite a few more medals than our previous Costa Rican sicknote.

Sta. Cruz is from Paraguay

Great player, City legend, model professional, and easily the best Spaniard to play in the league. Personally, I don't think he's our greatest ever player but he's still one of the best in PL history. 100+ appearances for the greatest ever Spain side speaks volumes too. Even though Yaya was amazing in 13-14, I think Dave got hard done by in not winning player of the year for those 3 performances alone in the away games at United, Liverpool and Arsenal.
