It would be a massive thing for my teams because we would win a lot of games. But I don't want to put pressure on Kevin's shoulders. Kevin is an outstanding, amazing player. He is a humble guy and all his team-mates love him. He wants to play every single game, he fights until the end but I don't help him by comparing him with Messi. Messi is apart. He is a guy who has scored 60 goals every season for eight or nine years." "


Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Agreed. He's not comparing like with like (position, skills, team mates, team style of play, manager, league). It isn't De Bruyne's job to score 60 goals every season.


Id like him to cease mentioning anything connected to fuckign Barcelona for at least one calendar month.


He did last June, I think.

There was an interesting comment by Pep post match, which none of the interviewers followed up, along the lines of ‘I know how to punish teams now’ (being one of the differences from last season). Clearly that is the case, but it would be fascinating to know the details.

THIS!


then, my longstanding admiration of his football mind will be ready to progress towards something more sentimental.

go there a forthnight a year, talk local politics, culture, whatever... remaining 50 weeks, fucking fly the badge of the employer which pays you top of the market!
It's the fucking way the world go round!

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...


In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!

Interesting read JC and written in the latter stages of last season.

I wonder if there will be an 'update' towards the end of this one ??

It would be an alright read if they didn't keep on confusing percent with percentage points.

Their mathematical ignorance drives me crazy.

Room for one more on the bandwagon? Let's see how many fall off when we lose our first game of the season OD.....

Sterling's equaliser against Everton.

Was that the one where he did "a Messi" and ran through their defence? We've scored so many I'm struggling to remember.

No, it was when an Everton defender beat De Bruyne to the ball and headed an assist back across the box to a waiting Sterling by the penalty spot.
