he is not happy .. in a nutshell and does not know whether he is coming or going...

he should come to city then, we have a special place for those sort of players, I am sure another one wont make a difference :D

In no position to paste, but apparently Torres has come out today saying that he is unhappy at Chelsea and was on the verge of 'giving up' this season because of his lack of starts. What a perfectly dick move to pull hours after winning the biggest trophy of his career (arguably)

 

Merely because major tournaments only come every 4 years, for me there's no doubt World Cup or even the Euro's are the bigger tournaments. They're all incredibly hard to win though.

 

I can't believe he's done this the day after they win the thing, but then again he might want out of there quickly, before Euro 2012.

 

After last night, are people seeing more why I give Mario Gomez such a hard time? About half the games I see him in, he needs minimum 2 good chances before he puts one away, yesterday was more like 3 or 4.

 

waht are you trying to rip me apart from the passion I show about my team.

My postings in that part of the thread are merly to do with Mark Hughes,, and there was a huge number of city fans that felt the same way...

 

Why why I am wasting my time replying to you,

 

In saying what I said about Tevez, I was just as upset as most passionate fans were about their respective club given the very unique situation we faced, however I was also one of the 1st to post of a city forum I wanted him back, I got slated but thanked in the end for that.

 

Most people are mature enough to be able to handle their passion appropriately, your attitude is one of a hate machine. So hoping for someone to die is just showing your passion? Where does that end, are football hooligans and people who stab rival fans just showing how passionate they are?

 

If you think you are such an influential person as a Man City fan then maybe you shouldn't go around wishing death on people like Hughes and Tevez, because it incites hatred that goes beyond football.

 

What exactly did you get 'thanked' for? You didn't do anything, and I'll bet this 'thanks' is either from other City fans that are as stupid as you, or you're being your deluded self and have warped nothing into something. I remember you were supposed to start passing my opinions on to that forum, and I'm absolutely fine with that, you were going to do this apparently so other City fans on your forum could rip my posts apart, when really, if you did post what I wrote, they probably thought you were the fucking moron- as that was the last I heard about it.

 

And yes, still what fans say affects the players... my facebook postings I heard is posted all over red issue an ( man utd forums) these goes to games and in turn the message would have got accross to the players.. shut up

 

I travel a 2000 round trip to go and see city play, can I ask you when did you last go and see Newcastle.. you now football fan, just live to scrool this forum for any postings members including myself do so you can try and make yourself better by trying to show them up.

 

I stand by what I say about Liverpool though, how can they have used the clubs motto to say a thing like that... I was not the only one whom said this BTW

 

You didn't answer my question, why did you need to try and help City win the title when you say you knew they were going to win it anyway?

 

This is honestly the most ridiculous conversation I've ever had, I can't believe you think that you helped City win the title with your 'mind games', I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for you.

 

But you're trying to de-rail what we were discussing, I never called into question whether or not you are a dedicated fan, because I couldn't give a shit about that. People can support a club if they want, they can be free to support them as much or as little as they wish, for the most part this isn't harming anyone (There are exceptions, such as empty seats at Arsenal games).

 

It's when people start trying to use their status as a football fan to then get on their high horse, as you are doing right now, that pisses me off. If you travel 3 bajillion miles to see City, good for you, that is your choice, you should be doing it simply and only because you love the club, not so you can go on forums and try to make yourself feel better then others by telling others how dedicated and passionate you are.

 

I can't believe you insist on defending what you said about Hughes, Tevez, mocking the Munich disaster, etc. etc, on the grounds that it was down to 'passion'. I like how you phrased the Muamba thing, saying that you "stand by what you said though", because clearly you can't stand by anything else you say.

 

I was never trying to tip you apart for having passion, my problem is that you are the typified football idiot, your opinions are meaningless, they sway from one extreme to another, so you should just keep them to yourself. You win the title and come on here bragging about it, like I said in 2 months you'll be whining about how you want to be forgiven for being a ****, it's just a constant cycle and I'm really sick of it, and I'm not letting it happen. If I didn't keep giving you shit recently and pointing out how flawed you are, by now you'd be off on one again about being MEGA MINTED etc. You need to be kept in check.

 

You cannot defend writing things like "I hope we buy Ben Arfa and not use him just to piss you off" because that's childish and stupid, that's just one of many examples I could use, and may use, to show how you write things that you cannot back up, god help the people who have to listen to the things you actually say. Throughout this season you've both praised and slagged Newcastle off, and now here you are writing another senseless comment, why the fuck would you want a talent who you've previously praised, to go wasted on your bench? It just makes no sense, but I'm sure you'll wrack your brain cell mumbling up some backward excuse.

 

Why don't you give me that forum you go on and tell me what your username is, I want to see how much the City fans respect you and the influence you've had over the club.

What?! HAHAHAHA

 

You have a measly 31 posts on that forum, this is the place where you hail such influence and respect? Well it of course didn't take me long to scan through a few dozen posts, but you only mentioned Tevez in saying you wanted him gone last summer. The next time was earlier this month when you claimed to have 'always loved him' (Which is definitely a lie, as we know from you saying - what was it again? Oh yeah that little issue of you wanting him to DIE) and also take credit for being one of the 1st people to want him back (Probably a lie, who the hell knows with you). But you must not have expressed this opinion on that forum, because it's not mentioned anywhere.

 

And neither do I see people thanking you about your support for Tevez, the only real responses I can see to your posts are about how deluded you are for thinking Messi will 'easily come' to City next season.

 

I did state this as a possibility:

 

I'll bet this 'thanks' is either from other City fans that are as stupid as you, or you're being your deluded self and have warped nothing into something.

 

Well it wasn't City fans being stupid, in fact from briefly reading through the forum they all seem pretty realistic and well grounded. But in fact, I was giving you too much credit, I thought possibly 2 or 3 people may have thanked you for supporting Tevez, but in fact, nobody did, because you never showed support for him at any point. You've completely made this up in your head.

 

So thank you for giving me the forum and your username, but honestly, why the hell did you? If I were you I would've just completely ignored it, because that forum completely negates all these claims you make about yourself being a respected member, you are full of shit.

 

I mean this is unbelievable, you've always used that forum to back up your claims about being overly passionate, how other City fans agree with you online, and more ridiculously recently, I'm wondering how much of an influence you really have on Facebook. Considering you have fuck all influence on that forum, you can't really blame me for thinking that I'm guessing it's the same case on Facebook.

 

I'm just going to ease off of you now, because I think you need a small dose of reality, whereas I'm providing an overdose.

bugger.. at least Sunderland fans have betteer class than you... You qoute yourself ! thats sad!

 

Meanwhile we are spending some good money

 

Manchester City are set to reward manager Roberto Mancini with a new three-year contract worth £15m.

Do the Sunderland fans only wish death upon other teams players, unlike yourself? Because that's super classy.

 

I'd hope you've learned a lesson through this but it's you.

maybee I have... why dont you be friends on me on FB..

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

 

Out of all the crazy shit you say I think this is the worst.

Merely because major tournaments only come every 4 years, for me there's no doubt World Cup or even the Euro's are the bigger tournaments. They're all incredibly hard to win though.

Naturally the World Cup is the bigger tournament. I should've added that that I thought that this particular one would be somewhat more meaningful to Torres to the extent that, despite frequently starting on the bench, he seemed to have a much more active role for Chelsea in winning this than he did for Spain at the world cup, where Villa was securely locked in as center striker. (my memory's a bit hazy, but I do remember he was barely on the field before Iniesta scored)

I can't believe he's done this the day after they win the thing, but then again he might want out of there quickly, before Euro 2012.

Just really funny in the overall narrative of things. Him pissing off Liverpool because he wants champions league play, now doing all he can to piss off Chelsea now that he's won it...

After last night, are people seeing more why I give Mario Gomez such a hard time? About half the games I see him in, he needs minimum 2 good chances before he puts one away, yesterday was more like 3 or 4.

After things settled down last night, I thought, "Even though Reilly's probably also pissed at this result, the fact that all of his criticism's about Ribbery's over-confidence, and the massive overrating of Gomez and Schweinsteiger proved so poetically true throughout the match makes me think he's probably having a wry smile right about now".

 

I swear that from the 70th minute through extra-time, I was seriously entertaining the thought that I had missed Gomez being substituted. I can't even remember the announcer calling his name for the last half-hour. Forget that one cross that took him by surprise (I thought the announcers were too hard on him for that) and even that great chance that he skyed into the upper deck. He just couldn't get involved in the play at all.

 

Robben was almost as disappointing. Not just for the penalty miss, but for a score of missed chances and consistently piss poor set pieces.

 

I don't completely blame the manager for the Buyten sub (though I don't know why you'd ever toy with the centerbacks, Tymoschuck was having a solid game at the back before being forced to push up), but why he took out Muller instead of, say, Kroos is beyond me.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

you will have the benift of seeing my city updates and my man utd friends.. tear them to peices..

 

317921_3717848358255_1637132543_2930733_387768735_n.jpg

just researched Torres' WC minutes and I was really off. Though he came in really late the last two matches, he started 2 or 3 other matches alongside Villa. mah bad dawg.

Naturally the World Cup is the bigger tournament. I should've added that that I thought that this particular one would be somewhat more meaningful to Torres to the extent that, despite frequently starting on the bench, he seemed to have a much more active role for Chelsea in winning this than he did for Spain at the world cup, where Villa was securely locked in as center striker. (my memory's a bit hazy, but I do remember he was barely on the field before Iniesta scored)

 

I can see what you mean, it's bigger for him.

 

Just really funny in the overall narrative of things. Him pissing off Liverpool because he wants champions league play, now doing all he can to piss off Chelsea now that he's won it...

 

While I used to be on Torres' side, I'm now finding myself with a lot of issues about him. As you are pointing out he seems to pillage clubs for all he can, be it money or success, and then at the very next opportunity wants to move on (In this example, the next fucking day after winning the Champions League) to pillage some other club.

 

After things settled down last night, I thought, "Even though Reilly's probably also pissed at this result, the fact that all of his criticism's about Ribbery's over-confidence, and the massive overrating of Gomez and Schweinsteiger proved so poetically true throughout the match makes me think he's probably having a wry smile right about now".

I'm going to be honest, it did cross my mind about how much I criticise Schweinsteiger and Gomez on here, and their performances out there on club footballs biggest stage backed up exactly my thoughts. Schweinsteigers set pieces and deliveries were just as woeful as Robbens- which is really saying something, but at the same time Robben had so many opportunities. I don't recall seeing someone do so consistently terrible at corners in particular, every single time he just wasted it, and at some point you wonder why he wasn't ordered to let someone else take them.

 

The Muller substitution was baffling. I mean you can understand the sense of it, but scoring a goal and then instantly taking off the attacking midfielder and putting on a defensive midfielder straight away- is managing really that basic?

 

Overall though Bayern were very unlucky, it's a real mystery as to how Chelsea have come out of both Barca games and now the final, on top.

We should try and buy Messi.. I dont think people would laugh so loud if we did now ....

He can't do much worst than King Kenny now, maybe next year you will finish in the top 6 ;)

I wonder what Daryl makes of this:

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/9280981/Manchester-City-prepared-to-risk-losing-Eden-Hazard-to-Chelsea-over-his-200000-a-week-wage-demands.html

 

I mean, after saying you're entitled to buy any player in the world? A relatively unproven 21 year old is making you stumble?

 

It's one thing nobody has really mentioned but I've thought about it before, particularly with Adebayor, if City keep buying players and giving them massive wage demands, they start to clog up the books. City offer like 5 year contracts and because the wages are so high, if it doesn't work out, like with Adebayor, Bellamy, Santa Cruz (The list just goes on and on) then it's difficult to even loan them out, never mind sell them.

 

They can't put £200,000 a week players in the reserves, but the 25 squad spaces that are to be filled will seem smaller and smaller each season if they keep spending like they have done, and acquiring players that they can't do anything with.

 

It's not quite as straight-forward as having the cash, so they can endlessly spend it. As well as this the spending will of course go down now they've won the title, I'm sure they'll still have a few huge signings this summer but now they are genuine title contenders (They weren't before the start of last season) you can bet they're going to focus a bit more on balancing the books, something they weren't concerned about until now.

You just make it impossible. I was trying to have a discussion about football.

 

So someone calls you stupid and your reaction:

Just wondering, do you have like any respect for yourself?

http://m.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/22/didier-drogba-villas-boas-chelsea?cat=football&type=article

 

Is this guy serious. Him and his club have no culture or credibility. In my opinion they are a bunch of pathetic, petulant babies who through the toys away when they dont get their own way. Shocking. Fair play, they won the champions league but that doesn't make their behaviour acceptable. I hate to imagine the shit that poor AVB got when he was there. He dared to try something different and they did their upmost to fuck it up for him.

OK will say something soon

He dared to try something different and they did their upmost to fuck it up for him.

 

Why does everyone on AVB's side act as if they were in the dressing room when this all happened? It's insane how some people who post in this thread paint AVB as the ultimate victim, as if nothing he could've done would have contributed to Chelsea having such a poor season, to when he left they then turned it around and won an FA Cup and Champions League. How can you possibly think that AVB was at no fault whatsoever?

 

I don't know exactly what happened, as much as you do, the only real confirmation of trouble brewing was Ashley Cole's public argument in training with him, and Lampard when questioned about his relationship with AVB, was somewhat neutral (And in footballing public relations terms, a "neutral" relationship = practically past reconciliation). But those things happen regularly enough throughout a season, it's often within even the most disciplined of teams that in a season, a handful of players get in an argument with a manager or each other.

 

Phil Scolari stated that the next Chelsea manager after AVB would be walking into 'hell' (But keep in mind that this is a guy who consistently managed every year for 3 decades, yet rarely stayed at a team for more then one season at club level) but is DiMatteo finding it hell right now? You can give credit to AVB all you like, but this isn't LMA Manager 2012, it's a fairly huge Premier League team and you can only have so many chances to prove yourself right. If experimenting isn't working then go back to what works, which is what DiMatteo's doing, and it's what I would do. The other way you can look at it is that DiMatteo is just picking the players that AVB had problems with and possibly lost the dressing room over, but you can't know that, I mean, is it so crazy to regularly pick the best and most experienced players you have available? I think it's far from crazy, it's more the obvious thing to do.

 

Besides, for me AVB wasn't doing anything genius, the teams he put out normally played without any hope or any real direction. So yes, sure, you can say he tried to do something new, and that is indeed brave, but does that automatically mean he deserves praise just for being brave? No. Did it work? Definitely not.
