    But if he is your captain surely he deserves loyalty?

    Glad you brought that up...was kinda expecting it cos thats the kind of half blind ill informed response we get from other (usually jealous) teams and the garbage thats written in the media. Truth is that our owners have not only invested in the club, theyve also invested HEAVILY in the redevelopment of East Manchester...figure suggest when all is said and done to the tune of 2 billion smackers. If people think thats the kind of investment that international conglomerates just walk away from cos they get bored well.....I'll let you fill in the rest

    If city are going too win the EPL any time soon then this season will be their shot at it. All the clubs round them are going through transitional periods, next season Man United , chelsea, arsenal , spurs and even liverpool will be stronger whilst city will roughly stay the same i reckon. I just got a feeling utds experience and slightly easier run in will see them retain the title.

    Vincent Kompany is our captain...Tevez hasnt been for a long time. He threw his City flag to the ground when lifting the FA cup to put an Argentine flag around himself. That tells me all I need to know about Tevez' loyalty

    Fair point. What people fail to see though is were actually in transition too. Winning the EPL is just a stepping stone to the ultimate prize. This team will only get better.

    he made the difference for us last season...helped us to the FA cup and third in the EPL which got us into the CL so I would say yes

    Lescott has been one of our unsung heros this season...our defence has been tighter than a gnats chuff...he plays so much better with captain platinum beside him but proved his worth even when Kompany missed out..awesome addition to the club...stats prove it...overpriced?...what price do you put on the tightest defence in arguably the best league in europe?

    I was sort of nodding my head whilst reading your post (in agreement) until i got to this part.



    Why do you class it "the best league in europe" ?

    Standard of Football or Standard of hype from the British Media ?
