Well done all who went for sticking around for Zaba. My lip went when he was interviewed on sky. Then my heart broke when they did a close up to some granny in the stands, wiping tears away.
Zaba, love you mate xxx

He was so good, he was even voted into the PFA team of the ear, so imagine the gulf in class before they realise they have to pick you.
All down to hard work, both off the pitch and on it. And that's why I think so many fans felt such a bond to him - if you were given your chance, you may not be the best, but you'd put everything you had into it. I honestly don't believe a homegrown player, a born Mancunian, could give any more than Zabaleta has in his time here. And as a fan, you really can't ask for more than that. I've watched some shite down the years, but I'll never criticise anyone for not being good enough if they're giving their all. And Zab gave everything. And was good enough.

We could also say goodbye to Yaya on Tuesday, has anyone ever had move of a say in big games than him? Clichy, a good servant to the club. Zabba a guy that has bleed for the club. Fuck getting home 20 minutes earlier, let's give these lads a proper send off....
Being negative in a thread celebrating a club legend.
The empty seats on 80 mins happen everywhere. Not just City. I don't agree with it, but it's not just us.
