lurch robbed of young player trophy

What about "generational talent" Kobbie Mainoo?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Is it not on TV here?

Dazn.

It would be on BBC red button had it been a dipper or rag up for top prize.

 

[N1985]

Can they not get one of the Spanish players who speak English to translate for the lad. Fuck off Gullit

 

[bladdered]

Fck me. Where's Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood when you need them?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Why don’t they just have Kate Abdo? She speaks several languages. It helps

Probably can't afford her.

Nobody wrote him off, we just wrote off the popularity contest that is this award.

In fairness, City's players have basically had absolutely no credit for their performances in any individual awards over the past 10 years. Case in point, David Silva won four Premier Leagues, was arguably our best player throughout his time here, and won the Player of the Month just once in 10 years. That's twice less than Ashley Young. And if you think that's bad, Kevin De Bruyne has never won it.

While looking that up, I also found out that Yaya Toure never won a Man of the Match award for us.

There’s definitely a pattern,seems if it’s true about tonight’s award then its also about devaluing an award which previously was heralded as a fantastic achievement but if a city player wins then mention it briefly and move on ..

Annnd the winner is Ryan Giggs

Adulterer of the year?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fck me. Where's Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood when you need them?

That's a challenging wank.

And how many goals did Erling score two years ago on the way to winning the Treble?

Every argument being trotted out for Vinicius you can apply two-fold to Erling in the treble season. He scored literally double the number of goals and won a fucking treble.

Hypocrisy and double standards so obvious that you can see them from space.

I think he's talking about the simpletons that called him plodri when he first arrived.

To be fair, him and Gundogshit with FFS on the wing, how wrong we were.
