What's he said like? God i can't stand that man. I didn't hear what he said because he sends me to sleep but I hate him. I hope Man U and Chelsea get massive wins tomorrow.

Frazzle Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Still don't like the fact that Given left mid-season. It would be funny if Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all kept their CL places and Given never played in the CL for City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Still don't like the fact that Given left mid-season. Certainly lost a lot of sympathy points. In hindsight it's even more unbelievable that he did that. What a little cunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 "They got a massive profit for what they paid for me and they got 11-and-a-half years' service.

NEEJ Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Shay can fuck off tbh, wouldnt have harmed his career one bit to stay with us til the end of the season. Hope Man City win sweet FA whilst he's there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Linked to Yaya Toure in NOTW today. I say linked, but according to them Hughes is confident about signing him in January. He's a top DM, but with Barry, De Jong, Kompany and even Johnson to a certain extent they don't need him. Surely the best set of defensive midfielders in the world if he signs.

Liam Liam Liam O Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Given's still pissed about having to ask for a transfer officially and miss out on his bonuses rather than managing to do it by being a snide through the papers & his lawyers & refusing to play to engineer his move.

Shak Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Still can't believe we got so little for him like. One thing the current regime have generally been alright at is getting good money for players when they leave. 12m for Milner, somewhere near 10m for Martins. Two players who were erratic at best while they were here. Then they go and sell a goalkeeper whose proven to be one of the best around, to the richest club in the world no less, and they get a relative pittance for the guy.

The way that he went around to get the move put all of the power that we had to get good money out the window. They knew that we had to sell him and took advantage. Given reallly is digging himself a hole with the fans, and that who powder-puff article, regarding honesty and grafting - what a load of old shit. He was a fucking coward who bailed on 'the club he loves' for a massive payrise when it really was down to the thin end of the wedge. What difference would four more months have made to his career. He was just the first rat to leave the sinking ship, just the biggest and sneakiest. This just makes me want to see ManUre hammer the fuck out of these lastest bunch of trumped up fakers.

" He makes it sound like he was doing it for free Remind us Shay, how much were you paid for those 11 and a half years of service? £15m?, £20m? And what was the total cost of Shearer's time here? How about Owen, how much did he cost us again? Shay Given saved more goals than these two scored.

Tooj Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I thought it was hilarious what happened to Hughes yesterday with regards to the added time. I think he's forgetting that he used to play for Man Utd and they benefited from it all of the time back then too. Also it's strange how he said the added time allowed for Man Utd to win or something like that, was there only one team playing like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get how, if all the stoppages over the whole 45 minutes added up to four minutes added time, enough could happen in those 4 minutes to result in another 3 minutes being added on.

ohmelads Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Find it hard to find so much hate for someone who gave us so many years of good service. I prefer to remember him in a positive light for some memorable performances. Nevertheless I couldn't help but lose a lot of respect for him in the way he left the club during its darkest hour. To see Man City pay 25M for Lescott in summer and us pocket a mere 6M for Given in January (a time when players generally cost more) shows just how much the player forced our hand. It wasn't a reluctant farewell from a hero who owed it to himself to move on, it was an undignified dash for the exit, done publicly through the media and one which cost the club dearly. People talk about his loyalty and professionalism but those are not words which spring to my mind when I think of Given's sale. Of course, it's not Given's fault the little money we did make was never spent on a replacement. Selling Given may have been a reluctantly viable option if it had been part of a reshuffle. Sell the keeper, adequate backup in Harper, invest the money in the team and try and stay up. Ashley pocketed the money and we went down - Given can't be blamed for that. Even if we'd sold Given for 20M, who is to say that Ashley wouldn't have just pocketed the lot? The N'Zogbia money would still have paid for R.Taylor and Nolan.

This is a grey area which could do with a bit of sorting out, although it'll never be perfect. Refs will add time on for goal celebrations in injury time, but not in normal time, which doesn't seem consistent. I've also noticed that they'll always wait for an attack to finish, or for an attacking set piece to be completed, before blowing up, even if it means going over the time. It'd be a bit more fair if they blew up regardless of where the ball was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
