Roy Keane: 'I wouldn't watch Manchester City play in my back garden'

[IanBishopsHaircut]

Somewhere in those comments he's got a point but from my own point of view, as frustrating as some of our recent performances have been, I don't watch City just for the football. It's more than that to me - the camaraderie, meeting up with mates, etc - and if we as fans applied Keane's logic literally many of us would've jacked it in years ago because back then we were utterly shite.

Pretty much me summed up...In fact i'd say it was more camaraderie than football...Me and my mates have been going to football as a group for so long...through all the shite...back in the day the 'having a few beers and letting off steam' were the only plus points...Now...as we have grown up and had children etc. It's the only time we get to see each other too

So he wouldn't watch us play in his back garden, but he did watch us play three times in the past week or so? It's almost as if he's talking out of his arse...

We've been boring as fuck lately I'll be honest even I was considering turning off the tv during that Kiev game.

Unfortunately I have to agree with the Rag bellend,as much as it pains me.

yep me too. I was bored to tears the other night.

Why, for telling the truth ?

Telling the Truth? Any other team it would be classed as a perfect European performance. We did the job in the first leg. If it was roles reversed and we played like Kiev 3-1 behind and at the away leg he has a point. However he does not.

Why have people stopped talking about dog wanking?

I like Kean,he doesn't sugar coat anything or pander to the masses with no mark opinions,it doesn't mean i always agree with him but he's one of a few pundits who I enjoy listening to.
With regards to this comment,it needed saying by someone.....our recent football has been painful.

I don't blame him after last saturday and again on tuesday night. He's spot on. We were bloody grim. What the fuck has happened to us?

 

[Besteamintheland]

He's got half a point, still a twat though.
if he was in my back garden on fire id close the curtains

You mean shut t

The guy's an arsehole but i don't think he's said anything wrong there and i don't think he's unfairly singled us out. I've seen him being equally, if not more, critical of United and Arsenal.

He said "when they're in that mood I wouldn't watch them". Not really sure what he means by mood or whatever, but I can't disagree with someone who wouldn't want to watch a game like the one we saw on Tuesday. It did the job and i'm fine with how it played out as a City fan, but i don't expect neutrals to be singing our praises about it.
