A truly sublime footballer, but was probably a bit of a ****.

He never saw Rick Holden?My grandad's 90 and says he's the most influential player we've ever had.
That'll do for me.

When the camera pans into the City fans celebrating, looking out for me wearing a brown jumper and a City cap, celebrating, slightly bent over, and fist pumping with both hands. :-) What a win. What a celebration. What a day. Tears of joy watching it again.
Great day wasn't it.
I'm in the crowd wearing 2 bar scarves, pne blue and white and one black and red around 22 seconds in.
Remember singing "we're gonna win the league" after the second.

How much do we owe Yaya ? Everything, his goals in 2011 semi final and final of the FA cup were the catalyst for all that followed. No Yaya at Newcastle no Sergio 93 20. Possibly only Vinny as vital a player in the modern era.

I get your argument. But, using that line of reasoning, if there was no Kolarov late equalising free kick against Sunderland, there's no Newcastle. Not having a go at you personally, by the way. You're far from the only one to hold that opinion. Just playing devil's advocate here. You can pick any close game from earlier in the season, and use the same logic. Nasri's late winner against Chelsea? Mario's late penalty winner vs Spurs? They all got us into the position we were at on that day at St James' Park.How much do we owe Yaya ?

We owe him a birthday cake with candles.
One of my favourite ever city players. An absolute beast that would walk into any team at the elite level. Can you image if we had a prime Yaya right now at our disposal.

Once. Matic and the media went crazy about Chelsea's new "Blue Steel", Hazard also destroyed Zaba in that game and they went on to win. Seems like that event sparked a fire in Yaya and he totally dominated Matic in every other game we played against them.Did anyone ever manage to dispossess Yaya of the ball?
I can't think of an occasion.
