That said, how the fuck has he managed to get a 5 page thread when he didn't even get on the pitch? What is wrong with people on this forum? We beat the Scum, Robinho doesn't even get a game and yet his thread eclipses those of players that were on the pitch?
Total fuckin madness. When will people get it into their heads that we dont need scapegoats.
I mean, what has he actually done? Has he twatted a team mate? Has he slapped in a transfer request? Has he declared his love for the Scum? No. His form has dipped and he's suffering because the entire media in this country is pointing and laughing.
What hapened to "We've got Robinho"? If someone should be taking the piss it should be the media but we as City fans should not be picking on him like this because he's one of ours until he moves on.
So please, if you can't back the players, just shut the fuck up and leave them the fuck alone.
But mate, on that basis, is it therefore only ok to make observations if they are positive ones? I recall a thread being started on Robinho mucking around during the Sylvinho interview on the OS.
That thread continued on on the observation that Robinho seemed very happy and positive because he was smiling and joking and chanting "Come On City".
This thread continued on the observation of the opposite. I don't see a problem with it TBH.
Its not like the thread is calling for everyone to bring banners and mock him at the next game. "We've got Robinho" will still be heard throughout the stadium if/when he does anything positive. He gets more support from the crowd on that basis than any other player we currently have.
Its all only an observation, not a planned protest .
Big difference between the threads, Mate.
The Silvinho interview was focused on how the players were reacting to the new manager. Yeah, everyone picked up on Robinho smiling and joking and in the context, that was justified. New manager, new Robinho.
This thread, however, seems to be a snipe at Robinho regardless of the fact that he didn't even get onto the field. If he's gets this much negative attention from not even getting a game, how much is he likely to get if he does get a game and once again plays shit?
My point is A) please leave Robinho alone until he does something to seriously piss people off and B) are there not enough talking points from last night without this twaddle?

Agree ronk. I hope hes given his chance again, hopefully he can get some confidence in our game against Scunthorpe this weekend.
Agreed.
As much as I agree that he'll come good if given the chance, I doubt that we'll ever see the real Robinho again because he'll never be given that chance. He's been forced into his shell by our media and a certain section of fans and I doubt that he'll emerge until he signs for someone else. For some bizarre reason, people just want him to fail.
.......which is a crying fuckin shame, if you ask me.
