The mancityfans.net football forum

Right, i know there's a thread discussing the incident but i've been watching the witch-hunt develop, culminating in an article by the Mail (always the most reasonable of publications) calling for Nige to be banned "for as long as Ben Arfa is out".

now i know some opinions on here differ about the tackle itself, but the lad is a Blue and gives his all for the side in every single match we play. We need to close ranks and support him through the next month or two because he is in for a pretty rocky ride from the papers and oppo fans.

Nige mate, you are one of us and the people that matter are right behind you.

I seem to remember a lot of posters on here saying he's shite, one dimensional, can't pass and we should get rid. They seem to have gone quiet...

Head up Nige it will all blow over...

i actually staggered at the uproar this has caused in the media. will karl henry be banned for as long as zamora is out, why hasnt he been done for his shocking challenges this season. in particular the performance against barton (where he was clearly trying to hurt him).

supporting NDJ all the way, it was a mis timed tackle and it happens at every level. the break was very unfortunate.

Legend and will probably have the privilege of becoming the first player to ever have a second season on the back of my shirt next year. Which im sure will eclipse a WC final appearance.

He's the wrinkly dog and he's a kung fu fighting, snow loving, legend

I love you Nigel.

Thought he was unlucky on Sunday, but that is the third leg he has broken so far if I'm not mistaken. Add the Alonso 'tackle' to that list & I'm not surprised people think he is a dirty cunt. And I suppose he is really, but he is OUR dirty cunt.

ps - I'm very dissapointed ant is the only poster who has carried on using the 'wrinkly dog' moniker. Surely everyone can see the resemblance?!

I don't love him, but I do like his tackle!

I am really starting to love watching Wrinkly Dog. And I love that as a moniker.
Him and Two's are really showing their worth more and more this season.
I honestly think he has grown in stature and he has the confidence on the ball that was missing before.
It's almost like he's thinking "Hey I've played in a World Cup Final and I'm fucking good"

that's because he was. he's still one dimensional, but it's an important dimension, and he's one of the best at it.
his confidence is sky high from the world cup and it shows.

He's my hereo at the moment. Not because of this furore but because he was fast becoming my favourite player anyway. His silence speaks volumes imo. He knows he didn't intend to break the lads leg so why should he come out and placate the rag-loving press just so they can twist his words.

Fuck-em Nige!

MOTM (yet) again for me at the weekend

we love you nigel, we do
we love you nigel, we do
we love you nigel, we do!
oooh, nigel we love you!

Pit Bull...carry on exactly as you are...might make the opposition think twice about 50/50s involving you ;-)

lol so he was shit...still is shit... but is now good, glad we cleared that one up...

I know that's not really what you meant ;)

Him and Vincent are also two of the only players in the current (or past) City squads that I reckon you could sit down and have a bite to eat and a natter with and get some sensible, interesting and varied conversation out of

He's a class act.

fuck you...i bigged up the nickname on Sunday you fuckstick.

cheers

Absolutely quality player for me, even if he made a great mistake last Sunday with that leg behind poor Ben Harfa ... but life must go on for both players and City too!!!

Class act, been very good for us in the 20 months he has been here.

Best holding midfielder in the world in my opinion.

Nigel De Jong=potential City legend
