***Palace v City Official Match Thread***

[Mase]

I wonder why Aguero speaks to the general media in his own language, but speaks to City TV in English. I like his style.

He spoke to BT using English 'of sorts' but I cannot dis him as I don't know any other language fluently.

I wouldn't go hungry or without a beer in Spain or Germany/Austria/Switzerland but that's my limit.

With City TV probably better as he knows what the questions already, rather than having to translate the question and answer on the fly?

His English was spot on for the City TV interview. Maybe he has the British media sussed?

Apparently Tevez was the same - he understand English perfectly but he’d only speak Spanish.

Yep, his English is good, you're spot on, I think.

I'd be interested to know where this "demanding 400k a week" stuff has come from. Anyone?

No? Nobody?

Has anybody been watching the MoTD top ten shows that Micah co-presents? If not, have a look. Micah gives some very interesting insights. In particular on the episode about strike partnerships, he tells an interesting story about Dave's drinking habits, and also confirms that Aguero is a good speaker of English; he just likes to say as little as possible to the media.

I liked the fact he said he won’t criticize our owners after what they have done for the club - he said they made a huge mistake with the SL shite fest but we move on .

Good lad - that’s how I feel .

What did you make of his comments about Zaba? Professional rivalry or something else?

Are these on iplayer is it a podcast?

[Scatman]

I think it is available as both but the tv version is probably better. They did it with Ian Wright during the first lockdown instead of highlights and it was really good.

From what I saw it was just professional rivalry. He's a fan and knows Zaba is a fan's hero. Just unfortunate they played the same position. Think he knows Zaba would have run through walls for City and appreciates that commitment.

[john@staustell]

Micah never got enough head bandages to be compared to Zaba.

Can't help always referring back to his very first live interview though, after the Villa cup win. Gary Lineker was choking on his biscuits

I wasn't aware that is what he wants, nor did I know that Kev is now on £430K per week (no wonder he is happy staying)

A quick Google brings this and satates ESPN as their source

Thank you, Hants.

[Dimples]

Seemingly Kev hired his own data analysis people to present his numbers re how important he was to the team. He also got them to analyze what clubs he was most likely to win trophies at. Then negotiated without an agent.

Sterling cannot take the same route. Sadly any data analysis would just highlight how far he has fallen this season. Hopefully he will sort his form out next season.

Wow, clever lad KDB off the pitch as well by sounds of it, i knew he dumped his agent, but to engage with analysists like that.

Totally agree with you on Razzer, not a chance he can compare himself with KDB on his current form and again agree that he needs to sort himself out, if Stones can do it then, Razzer should be able to do so.

In fact i hope he gets benched by Southgate if not dropped altogether, so he has the time to mentally approach his recovery to previous form. I thought he played better on Saturday with Sergio on the pitch?
