Who's to say they won't play the same way against a stronger team? This is about future discipline, too. If Joey can become a better player with Capello being strict with him, like Jose was, then he should listen to him. Lampard and Joey are 2 different players, what doesn't work for him might not be the same for Joey.

Yeah, but what about after the goals went in? A 2 goals margin might not be enough against a stronger team if the attackers like Rooney and Joey drop deep instead of keep on attacking...

LMAO

Yeah, because he and Rooney were busy not supporting Heskey and were far too deep, which was why Capello the twat (sarcasm) was screaming at them both to go further inside the opponent's half and support Heskey.

I hope it's not that serious :(

Oh, and it's a joke.

Joey Barton's at the top of my list. He's an *sshole. Truly shameful he will never be banned forever.

He hasn't sign a new contract, has he? We better sell him now so we can get as much as possible!

They're talking about Joey's performance last season, not this season.

Brutal? Nah, not even close. This is brutal: http://www.fifthinternational.org/index.ph...37,1077,0,0,1,0

That Valencia player who punched an Inter player and caused a commotion during the CL match didn't get anything as harsh.

Edit: never mind...

Didn't Kaka turn us down even tho we offered him a bigger deal?

Yes, we were very lucky it was Roman who came around when we were in brink of bankruptcy. Even luckier those clubs rejected him for us. Thank God. They're the new Chelsea in the sense that they suddenly had new owners with huge transfer funds, like Roman. Also, I think if Roman didn't come, we'd drop down a lot farther in the table because of our debt. Yes, we could have a new owner but what if he isn't even close to being like Roman? We'd have to sell our best players to cut down those debts. Our honours are small compared to clubs like Man Utd and now some of our fans are saying City's honours are smaller than ours. We really didn't like it when those fans were comparing their bigger honours than ours, so we shouldn't do the same to City.

Because warnie doesn't like the new City owners and is bitter like the Man Utd and etc fans were.

Well, compare our success then to Man Utd, Liverpool & Arsenals'. Those fans were saying we didn't deserve Roman, unlike them as we haven't their success. So now some of our fans are saying Man City doesn't deserve their new owners because their success doesn't compare to ours. Strikes me as hypocrisy even if those fans don't want to admit.

Yeah, which is why I made the topic... Oohh... that reminds me of the 'money can't buy you success' criticism from the other clubs fans...

Why?

No, I wouldn't be too certain of that. Anything is possible.

Somehow I doubt you wouldn't react the same way had the UAE group went for one of the clubs you mentioned. Those clubs are on the same level as City, honour wise and all IMO. You're saying Man City are purely lucky, just like Man Utd, Arsenal & Liverpool fans were saying about us. We were in the brink of bankcruptcy when Roman came, saved us and turned us into the club we are now. That's pure luck IMO despite our then CL spot. We could have gotten someone else and we might still be fighting for the fifth spot in the table or worse. I'm sure the UAE group had a few choices and they chose Man City, just like when Roman chose us. So it's not an eenie meenie minie mo for them as well. You sound very certain Man City were handpicked, but you don't really know what went on, do you?

Man Utd, Liverpool & Arsenal fans said we were lucky Roman bought us. They were much better than us when Roman bought us. So why are you repeating the things those fans said about us to City just cause they aren't as good as we were when Roman bought us?
