I retract and apologize for my 'sod off' bit and implying people were idiots.
Was extremely pissed off when I came on here and saw a few threads building up about Shauny. His form has been patchy of late no question about it but today was the first time I can ever recall him not putting in the effort and giving 100%.
Seemed very unfair considering the entire team were abysmal in the first half and especially unfair considering there has been many, many times in the past when he's been our most honest player.

Yep, fair enough, tell him to stick the new contract up his arse, but he is getting a slaughtering when his attitude on the pitch is still right and he is merely out of form.
Apart from the contract dispute he has been in and out of the side, he suffered from the change of managers, different systems, switching from left to right, wasn't he injured as well for about 6 weeks?

I only partially agree with that mate. There's no sentiment in boardrooms and in the changing room. But us fans can't buy and sell players, nor pick the team. So sentiment is all we got.
And - as I've made clear whilst making a bit of a twat of myself - I sentimentally fucking love Shauny.

Deserves all he gets:-
He has a 4 and a half year deal and is not yet half way through it - we have 10 more games of one of the most important seasons for as long as i can remember for a top 4 place - his performances have been less than convincing today is a case in point - Johnson is pushing him for his place - he aint a first choice England player not even second and because he has a half decent game for England he chooses to go public with his wage demands - sorry he deserves all the shit coming too him.
He needs to shut the fook up - help us to a top 4 get an Ebgland place play out of his fookin skin and then say PAY ME.

Whilst your argument against slagging SWP off is a very strong one I have to disagree. He's been pretty poor all season and today epitomises why a lot of fans get frustrated with him.
Ferdinand has a reasonable amount of pace and Sunderland were very very quick to close us down today, this meant Shauny, being small, was easily beat to the ball most of the time.
During the first half we couldn't pass the ball to each other and Sunderland's pressure didn't allow us the time or space to play balls in behind for Shauny to run onto.
This limited him because he's inefficient if the ball is played to his feet. He seems to either play a short pass or run into someone or forgot to take the ball with him, and we all know his crossing isn't great.
To me he should definitely be behind Johnson and Bellamy in the pecking order.

The worst miss of the game was when Shaun put it to the keeper's near post when he should have gone across the keeper. No excuse, they teach you that at primary school
Lucky Toma said:Yeh! Actually, now that I think about it, you're all right and I'm completely wrong.
I mean, what's the useless tit ever done for us eh? Apart from providing more exictement than any other player in our recent history. And apart from sometimes being the only player on the pitch we can rely on to give 100% honest endeavour and creativity. For many seasons.
But his head is battered with his contract dispute and consequently - for the first time I can ever recall! - he didnt put a shift in today.
So fuck him. Lets get rid. Lets bring in Silva. No, wait...Lennon. Yeh lets go for him. In the meantime, lets turn on the lad because he's 28 now so nearly due his pension.
Crowd favourite you say? Pah, what does that matter? We're the richest club in the world. We can buy a new crowd favourite in every window.
If anyone - like some have on this thread - offers a reasoned critique of his recent form and question his place in the starting line-up.....fair enough I say.
If anyone turns on him.....get a fucking soul.

This might surprise you jimharri but I wasnt actually born two months ago. I joined the site two months ago. So my opinions are as equally valid as anyone elses. Unless there is a ruling that states a member must post a certain amount of times before they are allowed to be frustrated at others slagging off his favourite City player? If there is such a ruling I aplogize oh wise veteran one.
what a load of bollox,his contract talks should have nothing to do with his performance,ffs 60k a week an hes sulking cos he cant get 80 ,hes been poor for most of the season in my opinion,but hay ok il keep stum sorry

sorry, I think his attitude on the pitch today was questionable.
okay, he ran into countless, ridiculous blind alleys, his touch was appalling and he gave the ball away every time, but that can happen to a winger.
what hurt was that in the first half he made so many ridiculous decisions, then looked like he couldn't be bothered. on one occasion he actually shrugged his shoulders when his team mates looked at him.
he improved his play on the ball in the second half, and a few times ran into space, rather than down a blind alley.....but he still didn't make himself available in attacking positions when RSC and Tevez had the ball. he always went and stood next to a defender, waiting for a ball into the box, he never offered them width or just offered himself as an option and played the ball on. when the chance came he wasted it by shooting at the near post, which was very selfish indeed. again that's kind of how it goes for him sometimes, so in the second half maybe he was just poor, as opposed to unacceptable... but it's hard to understand why on several occasions he was so feckless about helping out his full back.
hopefully it was just a one off. I don't expect him to suddenly become a creative, intelligent, highly influential player, the kind of winger who can keep the ball, bring others into play..... but I do expect far higher levels of concentration, I do expect him to take responsibility.

do me a favour, have you been to many games this season?....swp has been consistently shit all season and doesn't deserve a contract extension off the back of previous performances this year or do you think he does? if so why? hard for opinion on swp to oscillate wildy really isn't it.....he isn't fit to lace adam johnsons fuckin boots. bollocks to a new contract for the lad coz he'll be out the door in the summer to wigan, hull or bolton....who else would have him?

He didn't play well at all today. Him and Zaba/Micah just weren't on the same wavelength.

SWP is the worst player in the history of the world and I'm willing to lead a lynch mob to his house to show him he's no longer welcome at City now we've got dollars...

I 100% agree with this.
Can I just point out that when I said his head was battered due to the contract dispute I was offering that as a reason for his insipid display today. I was not defending nor condoning.
I mentioned it because very often players dont turn up for games without a reason other than they just dont feel like it that day. Robinho being a prime example.

Sorry but when you kick up a fuss and complain about getting a mere 70k a week for the next 3 years and you don't perform then you're gonna get some stick. Today he didn't look worthy of 70k a year. Needs to sort himself out

We all long for his moments of brilliance, when he truly does turn it on.
Against that, he get bundled off the ball too often.
Look how Adam Johnson impacts on a game in comparison. Seems to have a bit more upper body strength.
Come on Shaunie - you can do it !
