What are your unpopular opinions on City that you believe 100%?

I was genuinely curious as to what you meant by 'something off about him...' given that it's not generally a term used to compliment a person. No offence meant I assure you.
None taken! I don't know Vinny personally and like I said nothing malicious. He just always came across as a bit eccentric and self centered for me. Still one of my favorite players, but just a general vibe I always got, although happy to be proven wrong. To be fair I wouldn't expect a top footballer and club captain to be an average joe.
 
I met and spoke with Vincent Kompany on a couple of occasions. I have to agree with @yankblue, he came across as a rather 'odd' and somewhat 'self-interested' character. Much like a few other foreign players I've met over the years.
The only odd thing is you singling out “foreign players”
 
It seems to me that the longer our success goes on the more entitled a proportion of our support and indeed the support on this forum becomes.
There was a time when 99.9% of City fans came across as humble and good natured, always looking for the humour in any given situation but we now seem to be developing a clique of supporters who are more interested in braying like donkeys about our dominance and demeaning the the history of other clubs.
A recent example of this was when we were buying Grealish - at that juncture there certainly seemed to be far too many of our own ranting like deluded scousers about how we’re a big club and Villa are nothing.
It was sickening because a notable proportion of our support were displaying the behaviours that we, and all good supporters, had previously loathed in the dipper and untied fans.

It probably upsets those that behave like that but, it needs to be said that the first responsibility of the mods should be to cut that cancer out as soon as they see any sign of it - being City fans that are true to our well earned reputation is more important than getting one over on other fans by acting like spoilt brats . . and indeed more important than having the success that encourages some idiots to forget who we are and where we come from.
Good humour and camaraderie got us through the hard years and forged our reputation as good supporters, don’t let that get trashed by the newly arrived eh?
 
Paul Dickov was a terrible footballer, and if we'd had someone who didn't run around as much, but was better at football, we would never have needed to win a Playoff to get out of the 3rd division.

Why is it the responsibility of the mods to filter out anyone that you perceive to not be the kind of fan City should have?
