Ronaldo

Was gonna post those.

And an Ameobi.

MM will instruct players to go out and nullify creative players at any cost. I'm not sure you can say that about all 20 PL managers.

Can't underestimate how vital Silva is to them not only productively and functionally, but also aesthetically. Feel sorry for him having to deal with Gareth Barry on a regular basis in the midfield. Yep Silva as a player is a joy to watch, Man City as a functioning football team are not. Yep. Same goes for Aguero.

Certainly no game to introduce Santon or HBA, like.

Just agendatastic as per usual. I'll take that over a post based on 2 or 3 games against sub-standard opposition. The Spurs game is an exception, obviously.

Oh, sorry. Putting 4 past Swansea is supposed to convince me.

City aren't great to watch, man.

Agree with the rest, but how on earth could a PM get N-O in trouble?

I'd like to think they occasionally just make things up.

Where are these updates coming from?

Hmmm. Funny how he improved tenfold when he was at NUFC.

Spoke to a Bulgarian Inter fan about him today. Very positive report.

As I said, Nobby is far, far better technically. Chalk and cheese.

Redknapp might have wanted, doubt Levy would tolerate it and he's the one really in charge of transfers in and out there Like he'd get anywhere near that midfield, man.

You'll like this quote then, from today: "I feel really sharp, as I should do having just turned 29 and I'm enjoying my football." "I think I'll play until I'm about 38 or 40 because my game is not based on pace or power, it's all about knowledge of football and manipulating the ball." See, his crossing and passing are at their best right now, and there's no reason he can't continue to improve in that respect. But his declining athleticism will catch up with him eventually, like it caught up with Nobby - who was ten times more gifter at 'manipulating' the ball. He really is a deluded little tool, like. 38-40.

All kicking off now.

Rowan Atkinson - That's why I hate the French! Is BEN BEN BEN ARFA actually French? Always thought it was just some queer from Gosforth having a giraffe.

Too many decent players on world-class wages in that squad. Even Milner threw a tantrum last season.

He might be p*ssed off with all this, its not the first time its happened, so he may decide to walk? Because one of his substitutes is a cunt? What planet do you live on, seriously?

Barton most certainly wasn't awful 4 years ago. I'm referring mainly to the end of his spell at City, of course. He was a proper box-to-box player then. He's deteriorated physically an awful lot since.

Why on earth would it be bye bye to Mancini?

Nolan's completely gone physically and Barton most certainly isn't what he was 4 years back. That's before you take into account the other issues with both.

I'm sure it helps that Jonas is an superb athlete who's showing no signs of slowing down, like.
