Perfect post, Biggs.

Yuv, I'm usually a pretty dispassionate guy. However, if I am watching the TV and an old clip comes on of Ryan Giggs picking up the ball at the halfway line on the right side of a defense, I usually change channel. It's the one sporting clip I just can't watch without becoming agitated. In short, f&ck United

I feel pretty much the same. Can't begin to describe how much I hate them. To me it's Spuds and Utd, and then the rest of the world (I still hate some of them quite a bit, but it's not even close).

Sagna

"My situation will be sorted out before the World Cup, but I haven't signed for anyone so far.

What I said a few days ago. He clearly can't afford to go to Brazil without a new deal. A long-term injury there and he's screwed.

he can eat a d if he signs for City. i'll be thankful for the 7 years of amazing work, but i can't wish him well at Middle Eastlands

Defo off. Says he wants a new challenge

Smell ya later silly hair

The old "I want a new challenge" chestnut it is then?
His bank account needs a new one, he wants to say.

What do you want him to say?
"I gave you the best years of my career and won one cup.
I am now 31yrs old and have a chance to more than double my wages at city playing 2nd fiddle to zabaleta. I don't really give a toss as this is a financial decision to secure mine and my family's welfare for the rest of their lives.
My chances of winning trophies is also greatly increased without having to contribute blood, sweat and broken legs.
Now fuck off while i tell my bank manager to come round and kiss my arse."

I don't want him to say anything to be fair, his actions in terms of extending his contract here, have spoken enough so far.

If he wants to leave, he should leave, but don't fool the fans/others with the old "looking for a new challenge" phrase.

The winning the league and champs league with us challenge proved too difficult

I was thinking that.

Spending that much money is a new challenge.

I think he meant "dick"

That'd be very rude.

Of course it is, but he could as well move to QPR and face a new challenge too, except for his bank account.

Not too worried about Sagna's departure, because I've been resigned to him going for a while, and he has a better right to go than most of our players.

But it's an overarching issue with the club that we never keep any of our best players around into their dotage, and it probably gets in the way of us winning trophies.
