Player Topic: Fabian Delph (2015/16)

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

If we ban collymore he would probably try to sneak in by hiding in a laundry basket just so he can complain about our net spend.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Calm the fuck down lads.

By May Delph will have more titles than Collywhore ever managed.

He who laughs last...

 

[BlueAnorak]

I still think Delph will turn out to be a fantastic buy - every bit as good as Fernandinho. We just need to get his training and diet sorted like Aguero's to minimise pulled hamstrings.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

There's snides and there's weasels.

Collymore is a snidey weasel.

What you all crying about this time? That snake pic or is there more to it?

Weren't you in the Campus thread saying the swamp looked better than the Etihad the other day? Now it's the turn of our fans it seems.

Anyway, the worst one from Collymore on Twitter was when he asked fans of the rags, Arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool late last season if they would rather win the title with poor football & win the league or finish 2nd and play great attacking football.

He ignored every single City fan who said we had won it and played the best attacking football. Refused to even mention us despite our goal tallies & big results being thrown his way.

He really doesn't like us. He's the type that if Delph went to the rags, would be saying 'it's a great career move for him' even if the circumstances of the move were the same as they were to us.

By their fruits ye shall know them - Collymore is a Durian

 

[dickie davies]

After reading the Delph thread. I've just Googled instagram and Stan Collymore and cannot believe what he posted last night
First time I've ever done it, but I've sent a complaint in to Talksport. I don't expect anything other than a "thank you for contacting us" but I hope someone has a word with him over his conduct and responsibilities if he's the supposed head football correspondent

In fact I'm really that disgusted I'm going to contact City and raise the issue with them

The club is normally very philosophical about stuff like this and prefer to keep a dignified silence, because getting wound up about things and complaining, especially about the media, tends to be counter productive. This is one instance where I hope the club actually takes a stand. At the very least he should be banned from the stadium and the campus. Personally I would go further and ban talkshite too, and tell them they can stay away for as long as they are giving this cretin the airspace to spew his toxic nonsense.
What next for Collymore? He's beat up a woman, committed public indecency on a regular basis, and now he is laughing at and mocking a professional footballer because he is injured. It's not just unprofessional, it goes beyond that.

I did e mail City and Talksport's complaints yesterday morning and suggested that Talksport should issue him with a warning and that City should suspend him from the stadium for the foreseeable future
I haven't heard back from ether but I expect that one or the other has taken on board what I and other people have voiced

.

It does I'm afraid. We need to give the east and Colin bell stands a good scrub at the very least. Not sure why people have such a complex and take it so personally over a comment on the cleanliness of a stand but there you go, maybe you can enlighten me on the matter?

I take it I can assume from your typically bluemoon pleb of a response that all this crying and calls of bans from the etihad is over the pic of the broken snake then!?

 

[aguero93:20]

I seem to have ventured into the Collymore thread, any news on Kaa's hamstring?

 

[dennishasdoneit]

he is good at sneaking into places...derby magistrates court being one of them.
he did,t complain on this occasion..he was the subject of the complaint.

I don't understand why Villa fans are so up in arms about Delph leaving them.

If he had not signed the new contract back in January, he would have left for nothing this summer. Instead he signed and made the club £8m.

I think it's more to do with him saying he was staying at villa the week before he signed for us haha!

When he joined them from Leeds he was ambitious. When he left them for us he was a snake.

Just bog-standard football hypocrisy. He didn't help himself by giving them a little patch of moral high ground to triumphantly occupy,by saying he was staying and then leaving. They'd have hated him anyway but now they can gleefully point to that to give a reason for their hypocrisy and to justify it in their own minds.

In general the loudest football fans have the smallest brains.

Didn't Barry get the same treatment? I remember when we all applauded Dunne whilst the villa fans booed Barry, the booing gradually faded once they realised what he was achieving at us.

 

[FanchesterCity]

I agree with Didsbury Dave.
Fans change with the wind, and we're no different really. A player becomes a lot better the moment he joins us, and becomes a lot worse when he leaves.

I've no idea what to make of his transfer 'turn around'. On the one hand, his comments about staying with Villa set him up for a fall, but on the other hand, I have some admiration for someone who can openly change his mind as he did, and perform a u-turn.

Fans are fine if a player is leaving because the club feels he's past it. Then he's always a hero to the fans.
But when a player is leaving in his prime, it's another matter. Fans don't like it much as it's seen as a player snubbing the club in favour of someone else. It's particularly bad when it's a club like Liverpool, Spurs, Villa , Everton etc who still hold a misguided view of their current standing in the game. They can't grasp why a player might leave those clubs.
That said, I think Villa and Everton fans are slowly seeing the reality.

The problem is, at least for me, is that as a sports commentator with a huge listening audience he has revelled in the injury of a man city player. He can do what he wants in private but he used a public platform which he got from broadcasting to publically demonise a player, then he's expected to field questions about him in a balanced, impartial manner? Had he done this to a spurs/everton/scum/arsenal player I'd be saying the same. Showing loyalty to your own team isn't a problem, its when you publically mock players for getting an injury and then are expected to give balanced views later that day.

We are definitely no different in the main, that's why you won't get me doing that daft "Villa fans are all wankers" generalisation stuff. Sturridge gets abused, chants of "One greedy bastard" etc, and there's this myth which has become reality in everyone's mind that he demanded £60K a week. From what I was told City didn't offer hima new contract because we had doubts about his attitude. That's why he moved on. Distin got abuse for no apparent reason either. he was a great player who fancied a change for personal reasons, and we were a pretty shit team and club at the time.

I think Delph's u-turn took some balls, and I think City should take great credit for leaving the door open for him to do it, perhaps even continuing the "selling job" on him.

Sturridge and Distin are the only ones I remember getting booed....... oh and Joey Barton but I think that was just on the basis of him being a **** more than leaving us, actually I think a lot of fans were happy when he left us.
