Had the misfortune of having to spend a few hours at the sister in laws house yesterday and the know nowt nobhead brother in law with his sidekick nephew of mine were present.
I avoid talking football due to these 'conversations' turning quite heated in the past but as per, these two ballbags just couldn't help themselves.
It started with the England game and how poor it was. In true plastic rag fashion both Foden and Stones were lambasted. I ignore the bait.
It then turned into how they don't watch football anymore and that there aren't any footballers worth paying to go and watch. A veiled dig at the fact that me and my wife do in fact pay to go and watch football. Again, I ignore the bait.
Long story short.
Haaland is shite and anybody could do what he's done in our team.
Rodri not as good as Keane as he's never nullified a threat such as Zidane in a big game.
Wouldn't pay to watch Phil Foden and referenced his performances for England.
People used to pay to specifically watch George Best, Eric Cantona and Ronaldo. No City player in history can ever make that claim.
Rodri and Gundogan are gobshites banging on about too many games and being tired etc. George Best did what they do with crap pitches, heavy footballs and a far more brutal game.
City are boring to watch. There's zero jeopardy. At least with Utd you don't know what your going to get.
I did point to our game against Fulham compared to their game against Villa but it fell on deaf ears. City are boring, end of.
It's fucking tiresome dealing with these two. I've told my wife that Xmas will be fun because I'm not going to be as passive as I was in my house, than I was in there's.
Neither have ever has season tickets and have only been to Old Scaffold a handful of times when the nephew was still at school. (He's 23 now)
