Petrov on City on SSN

[Owain]

I dispair at City fans sometimes. Here's a player who wasn't happy to just sit on the bench and collect a fat pay cheque. I'll bet he wasn't on anywhere near the money the likes of Robinho was on too. He was a decent player and scorer of some excellent goals. I've never heard him say one bad word about City, and no, saying you're upset you aren't getting games is not dis-respectful to either manager or team, it shows you want to play and that's all.

I hope he does very well at Bolton (except against us of course). Good luck Martin and thanks for all you've done for City over the last 3 years, shame you weren't able to contribute more but you can hardly be blamed for that.

Spot on. There's a real arrogance creeping into the attitudes of some Blues now. Why on earth are people slagging him? He was a great asset to the club, whom IMHO we ought to have kept. Always dangerous, searing pace, great left foot. He'll do well at Bolton.

The least the club could have done was to tell him whether he had a future here.

I think some of this is Sky trying to make something out of nothing.

If you watch Sky they only show him talking about the lack of communication.

If you listened to more of the interview that was played on GMR last night he also goes on to say that he has nothing against City & he thanks us for giving him the chance to play in the premiership.

I have no problem with him & will be giving him a decent reception when he returns.

correct - the longer interview ends with the Sky lackey trying to provoke him by prefacing his question about City's chances with "I know you are still very angry with City but..."
Petrov's reply was perfectly reasonable - "you can't buy a team no matter how much you pay".

Trevor Baxter in the discredited MEN should once again hang his red head

Is anyone Registered with MEN and can leave a comment? ono? Someone who can tell this paper they need to up the levels of their journalism from "Monkey" to "Literate Human". I don't buy or read the MEN for this very reason.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

 

[J-Bay Blue]

saw it mate, saying the communication was poor, but he could just be saying that because he's a bit bitter about leaving. also, he's not the most of friendly chaps is he? oh well

Wait until Coyle leaves him on the bench at Bolton for a few games - he will soon be slagging them off, don't worry.

Good luck, Martin and thanks for the games - when we were a mediocre mid-table side, you and Elano were two of our best players.
Now neither of you would be close to making the starting 11.

I don't get why everyone is having a go at him?!

He's a class winger, one of the best we've ever had at the club! Stop being such bitter bastards and grow up, Jesus.

He's pissed off because when he played, he scored and played well, yet found himself on the bench far too often. So he's rejected another year of being on the bench with us, took a pay cut, gone to a mid-table team for first team football. What's wrong with that?

Communication does seem to be a problem too. For example, SWP's contract talks, Ireland not knowing whether he's in the plans or not, Onuoha getting the feeling that Mancini doesn't like him etc.

One good game etc? Really? We really do have some bitter fans on here.

He's a lazy good for nothing gobshite IMO.

"I am sure if I stay without injury, I can help Bolton to play good football."

That'll be a first.

Glad he has gone never liked his attitude Christ sake first game he was dropped he started pointing to the back of his shirt, lose the ball and raise your arms in the air like it's everyone else's fault. The amount of shit dished out to robiniho on here for attitude? Well I for one have no problem with a players attitude if he has all the talent in the world it's when they have an attitude and not much to go with it that winds me up.
At the end of the day you act like a c*nt and you get treated like one, problem for petrov is he's not played at the top like he thinks he has and I'm starting to wonder if it's something all Bulgarian players suffer from berbatov? Bojinov? Although to be fair to boj he knew it was obvious he is suited more to italys game than ours and made his mind up to go back.
So long martin looking forward to seeing you next season scoring against us and upsetting all your arse licking happy clapping fans that still remain here on bluemoon, I for one (as petrov is still pointing at his name) am glad to see the back of you.

He had a good first season in patches, but that's it he seems to forget that for two seasons when he was mostly injured we were coughing up for him to be!! overrated ponce!!!
