super swp lets rip on city players letting down the team.

I think he has every right to criticize them and dont think he should have included himself. He is our best player by a mile (barring an in-form Robinho) and has more natural fitness and a harder workrate than anyone else in the squad.
how would you feel when most others around you arent up to the job?
SWP came back because he loves the club and the fans and wants to win things with us. How frustrated must he be knowing he came back to a more spineless, disjointed squad thatn when he left?

I agree, we ought to be asking questions about everyone, including ourselves.

What question should we be asking ourselves?

we should ask ourselves whether we are doing everything can to help the team.

for example: i let the team down. i wasn't wearing my lucky shirt or my lucky hat while watching the Everton mess.

Goes to show really. The question "we" should be asking is whether we are quite as smart / clever / rational / disinterested / even-handed as we think we are.

I'm not surprised the most obvious of questions has left you all stumped: "who, what, me guv?"
 
In adversity you soon fnd out who your fighters are and who are your also rans.

If the players have any pride in their own level of performance they will do all they can to ensure we start moving up the table.

Some of those that don't have the mettle for a fight and may be thinking of another premiership club in January may have to think again as even fellow strugglers don't want players who are not prepared to graft.

Oh and I forgot to say I am a Hughes supporter until Jan (But only just).

He didn't say that he hadn't read the article only that he hadn't read all the posts. Be more careful in future.

Any young kid playing football needs to look no further than SWP to see how to play the game properly. On and off the pitch he's a credit to himself and the club.
In my humble opinion he's the best player i've seen at City in 30 years.
I was pissed off when we sold him and the day he re-signed my love of the game reurned. He's worth the entrance fee alone.

right because these questions we ask of ourselves will have a massive impact on what happens on the pitch. it's absolutely vital. let's get right on it.

He might have a better workrate, but he's not our "best player by a mile". He's not even been playing in his best position. Players poking at other players is a bad sign no matter whether they are right or wrong, and the situation should be "managed" properly by the manager, and that isn't happening.
 
There's an interview in the Observer as well. Not sure if this has been mentioned.

Talks about momentary lapses of concentration costing City, and very positive about what's going on at City, and the fans

SWP is one player we can rely on.

if messi was available, i'd still give swp the right wing spot.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1099144/Blame-Hughes-slump-says-England-star.html?ITO=1490" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... l?ITO=1490</a>

Shaun Wright-Phillips has laid the blame for Manchester City's slump on players who are not prepared to work hard enough for under-fire manager Mark Hughes.

The England winger last night said the team's dramatic slide into the relegation zone was not the manager's fault but down to team-mates who hide when games are not going well.

Eastlands fans will hope Wright-Phillips's honesty will galvanise a side who go to West Bromwich Albion today having won just three of 14 league games since the arrival of their super-rich owners from Abu Dhabi and £32.5million Robinho.
Shaun Wright-Phillips

Wright-Phillips said: 'No matter how much quality you have, hard work is the basis of everything. You need to get a team where everyone is working hard. Then, even if someone isn't playing well, he can help by getting round the pitch and tackling. That is the side of things we are trying to get right.

'We've let ourselves down as players this season. We've lost concentration at key moments and it has cost us. We conceded a sucker punch against Everton last weekend and it hurt us as much as it hurt the fans. 'There's a lot of quality in our team. As long as we're all working hard for Mark Hughes, it will be fine.'

Wright-Phillips's support will be welcome to Hughes, whose mood will not have improved by Thursday's UEFA Cup defeat at Racing Santander.

Under instructions to catch the Big Four, City are closer to the Championship than the Champions League and are likely to be without Robinho today after a recurrence of ankle trouble.

Despite a £100m war chest, Hughes has failed to lure David Villa, Sergio Aguero or even Lassana Diarra to Eastlands, leaving the likes of Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz as a more realistic target as he tries to offload inherited players including Elano and Jo.

Wright-Phillips wants City to follow the approach at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho, who bought players like Ricardo Carvalho, Michael Essien and Didier Drogba instead of the more glamorous Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho.

i will always love this guy, always have.
 
yay. another player goes public with the internal mess, let's all get drunk and rape a sheep. later on we could watch swp and elano fight it out on youtube. it'd be like the barton-days again. goodie. so, so much better than dealing with it in the lockers and just get on with it.

messi could easily be persuaded by a couple of the biggest numpties (not at all at fault for breeding this idiot culture by happy clapping all the stupid shit you could possibly imagine) - camping out on his front lawn until he either signs or they die from starvation.

new club slogan:

"city - cause we're cringeworthy... coont!"


i'm so excited...

I agree with you, he isnt being played in his position, but you and i and everyone else know that he was back to his best when he was played down the right in the earlier part of the season. Its no coincidence we were the leagues highest scorers when he was in the position he is best at. If you dont think he is one of the best attacking players in the league when he is out on the touchline then its hard to understand what you think makes an exciting footballer. He is the only one who got arses off seats in the couple of seasons before he was sold.
 
SWP doing a great job, like the superb professional he is, of papering over the cracks in the squad.
It still doesn't address the fact we play awful football.
