Nigel de Jong can go ahead and DIAF anytime. and if he ever lays a finger on my bb Silva in training, THERE WILL BE BLOOD. liking Man City definitely does not blind me to its flaws. :)
but I guess because I'm in it for the storyline, rather than the football as it were, the dressing room is kind of interesting to me even if it is a horrific warzone. I mean, the people there are intriguing even if they're not always appealing. Yaya Toure went to Man City for the money, sure. he went to Man City for the money, because his brother was there already and he knew they were good for it and the two of them have an enormous family that they have to support back home. Tevez has made a huge mess out of a situation that started basically because he wants to go home and be with his kids. Balotelli is... well, Balotelli. they're interesting. (but yeah, DIAF Nigel de Jong.)
part of it definitely is the Arsenal fans - twitter, tumblr and _fb, not in anyplace in particular - and their persecution complex, but the players have got it too, which sort of bugs me. Cesc is not always very mature about this stuff, and it's fine to be a bad loser etc but not in public, come on. I HATE THAT SEXIST FUCKER ARSHAVIN SO FUCKING MUCH, IF I HEAR ONE MORE PERSON FONDLY CALL HIM AN "ELF" SO HELP ME I WILL SNAP. I don't have anything against, say, Bendtner or van Persie or Wilshere, but they just don't appeal to me (well I think Nicklas is hilarious but apparently he is a brat) as much as the generation of Arsenal that's retired or been got rid of: Senderos, Lehmann, Ljungberg, Hleb, etc. idk. it's one of those emotional-not-logical things, for sure, but I just can't identify with Arsenal, and I've been trying all season.
Pep should just never leave us. keep signing one-year contracts into eternity please. (but even he is the first to say that if you don't win with it pretty football is useless.)
