No. The fault lies with the board (no argument there), the manager and the players. Please let's not try to lay the blame at the fans' doorstep.

If we could have had a whole season out of Nasri and Chamakh and Ramsey and Sagna and you can keep on naming them, we'd have the honours this little cunt is talking about by now. But in Na$ri's case he decided to provide half a season. He's certainly not the only guilty party but he carries plenty of the guilt because he was supposedly one of our key players. So he decided to go missing when it really matters and then turn around and accuse the club if having a lack of ambition. Excuse me? The title was there in his hands and in the hands of all the rest of them. They opted to collapse.

Na$ri decided it was too hard to do the hard things. So he gave his patently bullshit excuse about seeking honours and then ran off to the highest bidder. Was it his ambition to sit on the bench then? Because there was always going to be more chance of that happening at a comedy club like City. What do you call an alleged footballer who would opt to spend more timer on the bench provided the cash compensated? A man with ambition?

My post makes perfect sense. The people who are prepared to understand a greedy cunt who doesn't have the balls to deliver in return for his huge pay packet and runs for the easy, highest paid option are the ones who need a re-think.
All that gas and you applaud the return of Henry in the same breath. It's bullshit.

They didn't choose to collapse, the team were incapable of winning it. We had injuries as usual, but didn't buy. We don't have option off the bench so we quite often run our players into the red zone where fatigue kicks in. I'm not blaming the fans, just saying some fans are stupid. I don't care if it's 100k or £5 an hour, nobody with ambition would stay with a company that's always trying to cut corners and offers lower wages compared to their rivals.

No player wants to sit on the bench, but when you have good players in front of you and your on the bench, it forces you to dig deep and do what you can to be in the starting 11. That's part of the reason why Cesc moved to Barca. He could have been comfortable all his life here, but wanted the challenge at Barca. The same could be argued for Nasri. I don't really care too much about the player. He's gone! But it annoys me to see such double standards. It's stupid and your talking rubbish.
