David Silva Testimonial

[Craig]

I went to the Kompany testamonial. It was my first and only testimonial match and it was the most boring thing ever.

I love David Silva - got a huge framed picture of him on my front room wall - but I've got very little interest in going to this. Not that he shouldn't have one, give the man anything he wants - but dear lord the last one was boring as fuck.

Yeah, I left just after h/t. Obviously wasn’t helped by Vinnie being out but those matches are usually beyond shite.

I don't think the fans will forgive the club if they don't have a major event in recognition of their value to City.

It will happen at some point.

Many never forgave the club for not giving Neil Young a testimonial.
David and Kun are multi multi millionaires and the reason why they haven't been given one is obvious - both players know how much they are adored and always will be.

I'm not sure why people are confused why something hasn't been done yet. We've been in a global pandemic for 2 years which made it impossible to organise anything like this, and it's only now that things look like they're properly returning to normal.

And he plays for Real Sociedad

Agree with this, times have changed from when fans would turn out to watch any game and players needed the money.

By all means have one but there needs to be some thought on when and why we put these games on. For the likes of Silva and Aguero yes. But then if we dont have another for 10 years then great.

The money raised is given to charities of their choice these days, rather than being seen as a gold watch.

Be nice to see Silva’s European XI vs Kun’s S.American XI. I’d imagine a few decent players might show up for that!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It was supposed to be a DSilva and Kun double event, but I don’t think it’ll happen anymore.

Kun can come and kick the whole think off and then watch with the FOCs in CBL3. There's always a solution. Just one stipulation - no Rags, no Dippers!

And I'm one of them. There haven't been many players who made as important a contribution to City's history.

Well there’s some miserable wankers on this thread.

I went to Vinny’s and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s not about the spectacle of the game, it’s about waving off a generational club legend and seeing a few old faces.

I was hoping the club would get Mancini to manage the city legends 11 but no, they really were that petty not to…

I went to it, and like most testimonials it was a boring as fook.

Didn't help that the big man was injured too.

For me, Vinnys testimonial game was when he hit the screamer and walked around the pitch in tears, we all knew.

I wish I could have seen Kun play for his last match in the Prem for us, but no luck in the ballot. Same with not being able to see Dave's last game for us due to lockdown.

So I'd go to this when it happens, just for the chance to bid then farewell.
