Jim Bowen time yet again.
I know Yorkies are a bit thick but even he must have sussed by now that the only place he won anything was at City.
It was nothing to do with transfer fees and entirely due to comments he made after he moved. If he kept his mouth shut I think he would be respected a lot more.Don’t really get why there’s still any lingering bitterness towards him tbh.
Because of him deliberately running his contract down.I’m evidently in a minority here, but I’ve no beef with Milner. He was a good servant to the club, playing a big part in some of our successes, and I wasn’t that arsed when he left. He’d fulfilled his contract and was perfectly entitled to move on. Not really bothered that we missed out on a transfer fee because, well, it’s not my money and we’re hardly on the bones of our arse.
We’ve moved on to better things (he wouldn’t get in our squad now) and have just had the most successful season in our history. Don’t really get why there’s still any lingering bitterness towards him tbh.

Because of his comments when joining them.
Becase of his celebrations.
Because he's an ugly cnut.

That's what annoys me when commentators slag city fans off for booing him. Fair enough he ran his contract down and left as he's entitled to do. But why he became a gob shite as soon as he joined them is beyond me. It's as if commentators actively ignore the fact and come out with " well before city were successful they always have their ex players a good welcome"I dont get why people dont understand this. Maybe they havent read his comments or seen his celebrations against us ?
Take out the comments made after he left and the OTT celebrations after scoring against us (in an era where not celebrating a goal against a former club is a sign of respect) and I'd agree Ric. Stuck up for him at first after he left.I’m evidently in a minority here, but I’ve no beef with Milner.
