I do think though that people look back at Robinho's career with us harshly.
Yes he never hit the heights he promised but he still scored 14 league goals from the left wing and assisted a fair few more. He also did have some great games for us too.

This was when he was often playing in a forward line often including one of Vassel and Benjani or sometimes both.

His time at us will go down as disappointing but to me he wasn't the flop that some make him out to be.

He was good. He was also a bit of a cock.

They should put that on his gravestone.

It's great that we have less of these individual jokers like Robinho and Bellamy and more of a team now. Great platform for Pelle the Gaffer to step in.

Bull fucking shit. He shook his hand, smiled at bagpuss then scowled after turning away. I sat and watched it.

Where the fuck did this mysterious "high five" come from?


"High five" was figure of speech. He seemed tad bit too jolly considering the situation.

Besides it was only month or so ago that Bellamy himself admitted acting like a brat under Mancini. Said that he regrets it.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Bellamy is probably the most committed player I've seen play in a City shirt, closely followed bny Tevez. What they get/got upto off the pitch was of little concer to me tbh

Had a great game at Everton too, a place where we rarely perform well.

He does inspire more cliches then any other city player I've seen at least.

Cold, wet Tuesday night.....

Only performs at home.....

Brazilians in England....


Now I loved Bellers, still do in fact. I also have no problem believing robinho had an attitude, but anybody remembering him not being awesome for us and lighting up our games has a very biased memory.

I remember giggling like an idiot when I saw him walk out for like six months. Couldn't believe City had him.

And Robinho may have been a lazy etc etc....but Bellamy is a prick, liked them both playing for City but without the blue tints, we know what they were.

Finally some sense prevails.

People should also remember he quite quickly went from being our only star, to fighting for a place with Ade, Tevez, Bellamy and with a broken leg healing to boot.

I think that mass influx of stars the following season has glossed over his contribution for most.

Apologism? Is that when you accidentally cum in a woman's eye and then say sorry?

Read the book,was a good read,not that much on city in it except he loved the fans and knows we will dominate world football.

He said he grew to like Robbie once elano left but that he didn't ave the bottle for England and had a direct line to the sheikh which meant he got away with everything.

Surprisingly Bellamy loved Garry Cooke. Even now they are mates which is a bit bizarre.

Give the book a read one of the better ones out there.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think so too, he was the first big player to give us a chance. The media and even some of our own fans make out like he was a major flop. He wasn't.

Like I said before he had to play with Jo, Benjani and Vassell in the forward line. And he still got 14 goals from the left wing.
Next season due to injury he just never got going. Shame really because he could have been great for us.
