His goal on Wednesday reminded me of Thiery Henry in his prime. The way he effortlessly cruises past the defenders and just nonchalantly lifts the ball into the net. Wow.

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

Apparently he was the most efficient and accurate of the top ten most prolific league scorers in Europe last season

When he took off from halfway I just knew it was a goal, I think the crowd did as well from their reaction.

he changes his mind a lot

Yaya Toure has once again underlined his commitment to Manchester City, insisting he wants to remain at Eastlands for "as long as possible".

Toure’s future at City looked uncertain after his agent Dimitry Seluk suggested the 31-year-old felt he had been treated disrespectfully by the club.

A poor World Cup with the Ivory Coast and the death of his younger brother Ibrahim to cancer saw further doubt cast on Toure’s City future, but the former Barcelona midfielder insists he is going nowhere.

"It was not a case of leaving the club. It was difficult because my situation was quite difficult," he told the club's official website.

"For me I was always quiet and my decision, if you want to say it like that, is that I will stay at Manchester City for as long as possible."

Toure, who scored 24 goals and contributed 12 assists from 49 appearances for City last season, hopes the club reinforces the squad in the coming weeks in order to challenge on multiple fronts.

"I hope a couple of players sign in because we need to try to build a massive club because if we want to be the best we need to win every trophy possible," he added.

"We are looking for the Champions League - that is an important title this year and the Premier League is going to be a battle as well between Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool too.

"I think it's going to be very open. We know we are the team to beat but we have the confidence and we have the fantastic players coming and I hope this year's going to be the same."
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

Couldn't be Yaya quotes, there's not a single "you know" in there. Fake.

As I said at the time; Yaya rambles. Half of that interview, you can't tell what the fuck he is saying or exactly what he means but the gist of it seems to be that he was struggling because of his brother's situation. His agent probably jumped on such a ramble when Yaya was sounding off about something on the phone & quoted his chosen bits for the media, only to then realise he had made a right dick of himself as there was video of Yaya receiving cakes, handshakes etc & he had obviously got the wrong message. It was clearly something else Yaya was moaning about, & he missed it.

The comment about wanting to stay at City for a long time, shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone, as that is exactly what was said next, at the time everyone wanted to hang him. If you remember, his agent said he wanted to stay on at City after his career finished & be an ambassador for the club. That was AFTER all the shit with the cake etc, but for some reason everybody remembered & kept referring to his other earlier comments but decided to ignore that one.

That was the last official word on the subject from Yaya's camp, until now. The rest was 'reportedly' said in magazine interviews in French etc.

Yaya was off his head & his agent used it to try & stoke up a transfer, then backtracked on it. The media, plus City fans, kept it alive for another month afterwards.

City yet again outclassed everyone in the way they dealt with it & are the only ones to emerge with any credit.

Yaya is the last of the mercenaries that joined us.

The rest seem very professional, so hopefully when he goes it will be the end of the ridiculous shit that the likes of him and tevez pursued.

Excellent player so I'm happy he's staying. Hopefully he makes up for a summer of embarrassment with his perfomrances. Like tevez did.

Fucking footballers. Get on with it you ungrateful cunts.

From the Beeb. Not sure why they highlighted the 'Massive' part though. Seems that a Rag written it.

Yaya Toure: Man City midfielder - my future is at Etihad

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has said he wants to stay at the club for "as long as possible".

Reports this summer suggested that the 31-year-old Ivory Coast international was unhappy at Etihad Stadium.

The player's agent, Dimitry Seluk, had claimed Toure felt "disrespected" by the Premier League champions' owners.

But Toure told City's website: "It was not a case of leaving the club. It was difficult because my situation was quite difficult."

Seluk claimed the player's birthday was ignored by the club's owners when the squad arrived in the United Arab Emirates to celebrate their Premier League title triumph in May.

Toure appeared to support that claim on his Twitter account, before later suggesting he did not know which club he would be playing for in the coming season.

Seluk then told BBC Sport his client wanted a "job for life" at the club despite his upset at his treatment.

And Toure's latest interview reaffirms that position, with him saying: "For me I was always quiet and my decision is that I will stay at Manchester City for as long as possible."

Toure, who signed a new four-year deal last season, also wants to see more signings in the coming weeks to help establish City as a "massive" club.

He added: "If we want to be the best, we need to win every trophy possible."
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".

Amen. An apology would have been nice.

It was difficult because my situation was quite difficult.


This sentence should sum up how well most footballers can express themselves. Skipping school to kick a rubber ball from the age of 5, what do you expect...

Fans should give him a break since we aren't winning the PL or CL this year without him. And thats what you pay for isn't it? Being able to see great football and watch your team lift a trophy at the end. Let the media blab on about the sideshow and focus on the main event.

That line stuck out like a sore thumb to me immediately as well
