'Oh he kissed another clubs badge once' - who gives a shit? We should all know what Manchester City meant to Paul Dickov and if you don't know... Well you should, he gave everything he had for us in some of our darkest times and that's enough for me.

No. He's is not a City legend. He scored a legendary goal, but judge him on his performances over his whole career and he's one of the worst players in the clubs history.

Wow. I take it you don't know much about our history?

It has been reported many times he loves the club and the fans and his kids were junior blues or whatever they call them these days.For those who say he was crap,don't forget we had no money and we were shopping in the bargain basement at the time.Aside from the Goat,nobody scored a lot of goals for us.He gave everything for the cause and like Joe Royle said,''He would chase waste paper.''
Aside from the Gillingham goal it was his harrying at Blackburn panicked their defence and led to the own goal to put us 2-1 up and he also scored the third himself.He will always have a special place in a lot of Blue's hearts and memories,mine included.
To be honest "chasing waste paper" is one of my major criticisms of him as a player. My dog can chase waste paper, but he's not good enough to be a professional footballer.
No intelligence, no movement, no technique, no composure, no ability, no good.
Oldham have won one point from their last 21 available.jonmcfc said:shame if he gets sack, As on ssn oldham total cost nothing where as liverpool overall cost 114 million.A minor miracle by all standards.

If the point was about whether Dickov scored a goal that meant a lot to the fans, of course he did, that goal meant the world to me too.
But that isn't the point I'm making. The point I'm making is, based on the performance of the club over the last 120 years, Paul Dickov is one of the worst players ever to play for the club. I stand by that, and always will.
Well I admire your honesty, and of course you are entitled to your point of view. For the record, I don't wish you didn't go, the more City fans the better.paulchapo said:Shaelumstash said:I was at Wembley, great day, incredible moment.

Mate you can take this any way you want but i wish fans with your attitude and spirit would go and never return.I would rather sit or stand next to an empty space than next to someone like you and i don't care if you were at York away or delivered Colin Bell's newspaper,i wish our club had less of you.

I do however, think fans like you who value "dying for the shirt" "chasing waste paper" and "tracking back" as more important than abilty, intelligence, and technique, held the club back for years and contributed to us being so bad for so long.
Thankfully the attitude of the average fan is changing, and people are starting to appreciate the talents of a David Silva or Sergio Aguero, more than the work rate and bluster of a Paul Dickov or James Milner. Long may it continue, we'll be a more successful side for it.
