Mine too.


I would slightly defend City in as much as I think Mancini wants us to play high-tempo "ticker tacker" football in the style of Barcelona and Arsenal but he also knows that a) we probably don't have enough quality to do so still and b) in the Prem it always seems to fall short somehow.

At International level Spain would tear a team like Montenegro to shreds though.

cos it brings the best out of him and i hate ferdinand with a fucking passion

also, why was Gaz Baz ahead of gerrard for most of the game? that is surely just stupid

Very right-on, is it to symbolise our reach cultural and ethnic mix?

AJ was the best player last night, again.

Hate to say it but Barry was dire. Hope he doesn't play like that against Blackpool.

Rooney was dogshit. Crouch was bad. Kevin Davies is not international standard. 8/10 for Ashley Young's dive. SWP finally discovered that running at people is what made his name in the first place. Glen Johnson was dire.

think rainbows.

think allegations of gayness about certain players.

the multicultural thing is pretty self evident tbh, don't need the kits for that.

Peter Saville, the bloke behind New Order's album and singles covers designed it. was an article on the Beeb a while ago about it too.
But here's an article I found via google:

Is anyone else of the opinion that AJ is getting just a little too much media praise at the moment?

it makes it look like a cow[S]boy[/S]girl jacket with little embroidered stars.

Yes. I really want to have a beer with him and say 'Adam, may I call you AJ? Thanks, and thanks for the time today, I appreciate it. Erm, AJ, we've reached a very exciting time in your career, some might even say it has come a little 'too much too soon'. I don't see it that way, I see it that you are a very talented footballer who clearly has put in the homework and application to get where you are today. I think what is important here is not to get too caught up in the somewhat negative aspects that can attach to the modern day footballer. All the things that come with much increased income and media attention really. It would be very easy to listen to what the media and others say but as long as you keep your head down and focus on your football, as in football first, ALL the rest will fall in place. Now, how about we make that your last Flaming Lamborghini, get you a soda water and we lose the 4 hookers, yeh? Training tomorrow and all that.'.
