Yeah! working in North Caroline in the 80's i was actually asked by an American bint where i had learnt to speak American !
Her first question had been "where are you from ?" ( answer : England).
I told here that i had learned to speak the language in school and watching TV serials like "Alias Smith and Jones".
She was mighty impressed.
America's a big country lads, lots of people (stupid people too!) no denying that ... I wonder how long I'd have to walk around tottenham to find similar? Somehow I don't think it would disrupt my schedule too much.
(completely unrelated, my phone autocorrected tottenham first to rotten ham, then to totter ham.)
No comment on England being the USA's bitch then? I mean, it's embarrassing enough that we elected Bush ... But you lot followed him around like a puppy beggin for a treat.
Nah, no comment on Bush, He isn't worth thinking about. The citizens of the USA elected him , you will have to sort that one out. It says how bad and how far things have come that the US elected such a character. Read Craig Ungers books on Bush.
As for being the US's bitch, also not true, Blair may have been. But then again Blair was bitch to many political leaders ( and I certainly didn't vote for him ).
It shows how bad things are when you leave autocorrect on your phone. I never use it , or have need for it.
Now back to the subject.....
Edin has been given a ridiculously hard time as seen on this thread reaching over ten pages. Most of which is a waste of time.
He is one very, very good player amongst many great players at City right now. Not all players will be brilliant every week. When things aren't going the way we as fans, want them to go, we all to easily search for a scapegoat. This happenend after the Everton game. Edin was that scapegoat on here. He certainly was no worse in that game than Gareth Barry, Lescott, David Silva.
A week earlier he scored the only goal in a difficult game at wigan. No complaints then were there ?
Recently Gareth Barry's performances have been less than spectacular, his passing appears to have gone , however his general play and the way he reads the game make up for a lot these other temporary errors. He hasn't been given this kind of roasting.
We lost as a team at Everton, we won as a team against Fulham. I thought Edin had a good, but fairly quiet game against Fulham.
This thread was started after the Everton game and I simply want to point out that I think it is wrong to take one game in isolation also that the team were bad at Everton, not just Edin.
So I think we are Edin for some goals this sunday at Villa, they are an open playing team that will try to create chances and in doing so will allow City to go forward and create chances.
