So long Gareth Barry.

[leighton]

Regarding the semi final we will play 3 in the midfield it will be a case of Mancini going back to the normal sit back and hope to get a 1-0 win. I have no problem with it at all.

To the people who are saying its a shit tread or pathetic why dont you defend Barry tell us what he offers to the team now. He has been poor sub standard since he has been at the club. If it was any other player then there would be nothing to it no moaning. Have a different view on some of our English internationals seems like it is a big no on here.

No Leighton, you are the only one that sees the nationality of players as something to sway a decision.

You do it almost every post and that is probably the most hypocritical post I have seen on bluemoon.

Thats bullshit. Have anything bad to say about 1 of our English players and the nationality card gets played. Fucking hell some people just cant see it when there favourites arent preforming be it Hart when he had a massive wobble and Barry these 2 players you cant say anything bad about them on this place without people coming out with shit like that. No matter what people think Barrys place is under pressure who knows who we will bring in the summer there may well not be a place in the squad for Barry next season. 31 next year on a huge amount of money with the new rules coming into place maybe just maybe Barry will be moved on for a cheaper option to do the role he does.

Since when do we play with 3 defensive midfielders ?

NDJ has had a number of MOM performances. Notable performances against Chelsea spring to mind where he has controlled a midfield against arguably the best midfield in English football.

Surely you are not trying to suggest that Barry is in the same league as NDJ?

"He did not control the midfield - he stopped theirs playing. Big difference. I won't argue he was MoM in that game. Thats not what you said though. You said he took games by the scruff of the neck. When you say that I'm thinking Viera in his Arsenal days or unfortunately Keane at the rags".

Was that the game he he tackled/pushed his own player for the ball...how controlling do you want (given his position/responsibilities on the park)

No - you mentioned people are defending him just because he is English. That is absolute crap. Barry and Richards get slated on here as much as anyone when they deserved to be. Ireland got lauded on here during those 8 good months of his.

City fans do not care whether our players are black, white, yellow, green, English, Irish or Swaheli.

If you criticise a player and someone else defends them, it could just be that the other poster has a different view but it is not neccessarily a different view because of nationality. I actually agree with you about Barry aand was going to say so when I saw you comment our with your "people only stick up for him cos he's English" comment. It is absurd.

It is more absurd coming from the poster known on BM for being so nationalistic that Dunne, Given and Ireland could never ever do any wrong and you nearly burst into tears when any were omitted or sold. You are still now even defending Ireland on another thread at present.

Disagree, slag players, no one will mind, the forum is all about different opinions but don't try and bring nationality into it just because someone defends a player.

You must have missed Leighton's post about Johnson

Ive seen many City players tackle each other. Means nothing

When was the last City player you seen tackle his own team-mate whilst defeating Chelski and collecting MotM?

Mate, tackling teammates is not a good thing.

And in any case whose Man of the match are we talking? Yours or the medias?

Mate, Desire is a lot more than 'Nothing'...especially when your in need of some.
