Thanks to Steven Carroll for taking the time to answer the questions.
 
There was a good atmosphere on my only visit to the ground in August 2011 too and I'm hoping for similar when I make my second visit this weekend.
Think he may be in for a bit of a disappointment.
 
Your Achilles heel?

There's two. One is defending crosses. I know I said Fabianski has improved us in this area but it still isn't great. In October five of the six goals we conceded were from balls into the box so there's still a bit of a weakness there. The other one at the moment is referees. I don't like to blame them too much but we've been very unlucky so far this term. Stoke had that ridiculous penalty five weeks ago, there was the handball at Everton that wasnt given and Fernandez had a red at Liverpool in the cup which was then rescinced all in the space of 2 weeks. If these things even themselves out then it's time that started to happen!


Agenda!

Well, that's us 'n The Swans have had the shitty end of refs this season. Our experience has been compounded 'cos we've had the knobs from Europe.
 
What is your perception of City as a club?

This didn't go down well last time but I stand by my comments of not being a fan of clubs with masses of investment. But I do respect the hardcore City fans. Not many clubs would get 30,000 in what is now League 1. There was a good atmosphere on my only visit to the ground in August 2011 too and I'm hoping for similar when I make my second visit this weekend.
Presumably as opposed to clubs with less investment?

Less investment more debt it's the right way did UEFA not tell you.

Yes - the Rags model is the correct one! Why do fans of other clubs buy in to the FIFA philosophy.
