I find myself weirdly falling for City, though like you say part of it is probably my contrary nature being mad at how EVERYBODY HATES THEM FOR NO GOOD REASON. idk, I wish people would give Mancini a chance, instead of shrieking about how he's destroying football with his defensive strategy and HOW DARE HE NOT LET ARSENAL SCORE OMG when this is his first full season and he honestly does seem to be getting something close to a team out of the dressing room from hell. I was initially upset Silva went there, but I think he has a chance to be important and recognized for his talent in England in a way he never would in Spain and I hope he sticks it out. the few Man City fans I know really appreciate him.
plus, Super Mario. he is like Zlatan 2.0, such a tactless dick but I cannot help but love him. with all the shit he had to put up with in Italy, he is due a break. and I am kind of fascinated by his relationship with Mancini, and I wish less sketchy sources than the Daily Fail would tell me about him being friends with Andrea Mancini, because that is potentially adorable.
