The Daily Mail And Martin Keown, Brazilians And English Football, Robinho, Neymar And Stoke City

The Daily Mail, 'I usually try to avoid them for all their Manchester City hating writers but Martin Keown has managed to capture my attention'.

Ex Arsenal player Martin Keown for The Daily Mail strips Stoke City down for a work out.

In short he shows Stoke City for what kind of club they are, an over flattering club which in my opinion should not even occupy the Premier League with their one dimensional boring play mugging their opponents like handbag snatchers via set play after set play after set play with another set play and so on.

The only gain Stoke fans get from their club are the odd big club scalp, right now they seem content with so little.

Keown casts Ricardo Fuller as the mugger, Ryan Shawcross as the distraction and Rory Delap as the third man lookout.

Onto the Brazilians,

It has been widely reported Robinho has been mouthing off and advising other Brazilians not to even consider joining Manchester City FC, well it would be no surprise would it considering we already know what Robinho is capable of after staging his very own live press conference before leaving Real Madrid.

I went from fan of Robinho to can not stand the boy anymore and I use the word boy heavily, there is a difference between having a laugh and joke with friends and acting like a completely spoiled immature boy.

There is no doubting Robinho's talent and ability to play attractive and flair football but the boy is just so damn lazy, many of us find the fact of Brazil winning so many World Cups confusing with players like Robinho but it is not as confusing if you see the bigger picture.

All of the Brazilian World Cup winning sides did not have Robinho present, you only have to look at the regular Brazilian players past and present to realise most of them were and are strong, athletic and hard working.

Many people got it right when labelling Robinho recently as an expensive luxury, unfortunetly for Manchester City and us City fans Robinho was an expensive luxury disaster, did we deserve his lack of commitment and laziness?

Well with that covered Robinho has apparently advised young Brazilian star striker Neymar Da Silva off joining Manchester City FC?

Some have covered this story but failed to cover one factor, so far not one Brazilian has conquered the English Premier League to become a complete success. Some Brazilians have flirted with English football but none have tamed the beast unlike their neighbours the Argentinians.

If Neymar or any other Brazilian chooses to join Manchester City in the future then it will be to do what no Brazilian has done before and what Robinho was too lazy to do, if not then Manchester City FC would obviously be avoiding another lazy Brazilian.

    Re Stoke: What utter shite. I'm sure you'd like not to have to play football at all, clubs could just compare accounts. The team with the most money wins! It doesn't take long for the rich kids to want everyone to play on their terms.

    I remember jackie Charlton commenting on a world cup match,saying i would like to see how he went on on a tuesday night in the middle of winter in england, enough said, our players cant do hot weather, brazilians dont do cold, simple as that they are ok in august. City should stay away from brazilians, unless their wifes need a waxin.

    Blah Blah, play on your terms, If City played on Stokes terms the entire stadium would be on anti depression pills for the rest of their lives.

    I would not be saying the above if Stoke had one or two wide men skipping down the wings flying in some superb crosses but the truth speaks for itself, other than free kicks and throw ins Stoke have nothing.

    Stokes fault and not mine, pick your dummy up.

    Maybe Stoke would like to widen their pitch aswell after delibrately making it the most narrowest pitch the rules dictate in English football.

    Well, your team (Man City), didn`t look very good tonight. The commentary went on to say that you didn`t play very well - a bit of an off night. When will Stoke get credit for preventing Man City from playing ? We played as we have in every game I`ve seen this year, with passion, desire and don`t under estimate how we can push the ball around. No one can say we didn`t deserve this result - we want it more than your lot. I`d be pig sick if I was Man City fan. Overpaid = underperformers!

    Why would I be pig sick?, Their not underperforming at all. They are doing the best they can and Mancini will weild the axe and replace with better, it does not get anymore clear cut as that is football and thats how its always been.

    Why do Stoke deserve credit for a draw against as you say, an underperforming opponent?

    Clearly your judgement is clouded.

    Stoke are by far the most hated club, what they do is fill there club with cheats like fuller who pushes opposition, and kicks balls against them so Delap who cant kick a ball to save his life chucks them, meanwhile fuller will be pushing people in the area, and when the ball arrives he jumps and elbows and then heads and scores. And then there retard fans decide to start celebrating because they've unfairly got a draw, but they can be asured of one thing we will go to stoke and crush them like we did when we beat them 3-0 last season.
    And another thing Mancini has got city playing a very low tempo, up the tempo at stoke and beat Stoke ball chuckers bc
