smokie36 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I love Zabba...he's the man, he's our man, and he's harder than Jaap Stam. Ohh Pablo Zabaleta, he is the f*cking man! He is an Argentinian, hes harder than Jaap Stam! He plays in blue and white for Pellegrinis men! And when we win the league, well sing this song again! The only appearances he'll be making when that happens will be as Santa Claus once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 WRONG! The season the Zabba song came out, we won the Premiership and the League Cup so the words of the song were spot on. History lesson over I'll get back in my box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Manchester City: Caballero, Maffeo, Adarabioyo, Kolarov, Angelino, Fernando, Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Barker, Iheanacho, Navas Thai ch33...the thai muppet host with the tache and glasses used to live in my mooban...used to see him jogging (posing)...supports one of those teams in red.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not too keen on our kit...What's wrong with all skyblue. Kiddo looks in good nick for a pensioner doesn't he. Great to see some of our youngsters starting...hoping Diaz gets on it, he's the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Bayern 0 vs 3 Willy Caballero. City fortunate to be level. Strange seeing Kolorov centreback alongside the kid. Angelino stood out, Barker did for the wrong reasons. City's front 4 look like they met for the first time in the tunnel. Fernando has been the most noticeable player. Bayern obviously looking streets ahead. Ribery looks like an out of shape hooligan who just gotvout of the crowd, but those feet...brilliant. Bring out the 2nd half team.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 2nd half City brought on experience for youth, Bayern did the reverse. 1st half Bayerns, 2nd half City's. Lost 1v0 to a heavily deflected goal off Clichy who took over from Kolorov at CB (strange). Hart, OBrien, Kompany, Zabaleta, Sterling, Nasri, Nolito, Aguero, Silva, Denayer, Otamendi, Zuculini, Horsfield, Manu Garcia & Humphreys didn't feature. Adarabioyo (CB), Angelino (every position leftside) and Maffeo (RB) played 90 and all were decent. Enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmine Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Zabbas a true professional and a fighter Carms. It's gonna be a long season and very useful to have someone of his experience. Plenty of life left in him yet. City fans love him I'm not questioning his professionalism and i've always liked him as a player. Just saying i think he's going to get left for dead by some pacy attacking miss. Not his fault just age. As far as experience goes thats not in doubt.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 ^Zabba's never had pace. Last season he was rarely fit and he twice damaged knee ligaments and consequently struggled to regain his form. He's returned for training, fit apparently, with just 2% body fit. Zabba is a special case at City, he's that player every team hasevery decade, who just puts it all out there for the team, and he really feels like he's an adopted mancunian - that is the true feelings towards him from City fans. If he can get fit, he's the better player compared to Sagna. I'd be happy for him to be given the season to compete with Sagna (Sagna isn't comfortable with the ball so I can't see him being a Pep player) while we find a young replacement (can't see Arsenal selling us Bellerin). The youngster Maffeo, who was on loan to a Spanish 2nd level team, looks a decent prospect, so maybe he can come through (Angelino on the left looks good enough to come through this season).

Bredbury Blue Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'm a big fan of Manchester City super-fan seven-year-old Braydon, everyone one of his videos leaves laughing and in tears.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Manchester City 2016-17 away kit http://www.mcfcwatch.com/2016/07/15/pictured-manchester-city-2016-17-away-kit-shirt-shorts/ Don't like it, and won't it be hard for the players to see each other (as ManU's grey kit in that Soton game). Red and black yes please, we all love the '69 strip kit, has a special appeal to all City fans of a certain age, so why don't the club listen to the fans - and this isn't just aimed at our current management/owners but goes back to management over the years - and make red and black stripes officially our 2nd kit? Seems the earlier link referring to rea and black isn't correct; this one refers to maroon (early City colour) http://talkingbaws.com/2016/07/man-citys-bold-new-away-kit-gets-a-mixed-reaction-from-supporters/ I'll reserve comment until I see it up close.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The away kit looks different on different websites. Some say red and black, some say maroon and black. The definitive is City's website which states: "This season, Pep Guardiolas team will wear a predominantly black kit, with red detailing and flashes of yellow, on their travels.Inspired by the iconic red and black striped away kit of the 1960s, both colours return to Citys change strip for the first time since the unforgettable 2011/12 title winning season.The 2016/17 instalment also includes a Manchester icon, with the yellow detailing referencing the worker bee, which has been synonymous with the City of Manchester since the Industrial Revolution and has featured on the citys coat of arms since 1842. As a nod to the bees eye-catching stripes, vibrant yellow detailing, including a reimagined version of the new club crest, embellish our new away kits distinctive black body and red shoulder and sleeves. Yellow socks, with a black linear graphic on the calf, showcase the kits primary accent colour and accentuate speed." The images to my colourblind eyes (yep, red-green) look very dull. Being colourblind I like bright colours, I.e. blue, yellow. I'll wait till I see it upclose in Central Sports shop. The 3rd kit is rumoured to be bright orange.

Second report today I've read mention of Pep turning Delphy in a LB. Think we look short upfront centre AGAIN, where Aguero gets overused, Nacho is better as an impact player and Bony is better at Swansea or Everton.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I posted a link to an article in the uk media of a survey by the Mirror. I found it interesting for *various reasons, i thought perhaps others might too, if they do fine, if they don't fine. Contrary to your misunderstanding, nowhere in the posts above did I try to justify why I posted the survey. *To clarify why I found it interesting, I found it interesting how different clubs who to my mind have no apparent inter-relationship have a major hate of each other (example, Burnley & 'Boro), and I was also shocked that Chelsea are the most hated team (why? I personally like Chelsea for shakingup the Old School). Why don't YOU try posting an opinion or something which might be of interest to others on the football forum for a change, instead of your constant windups. Have a go at contributing, you might find you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
