Robinho has some nerve slating Manchester and more importantly England, disrespect one city and you disrespect them all as far as I am concerned.
At least you can walk through a huge majority of English towns and cities without having to worry about being mugged for a pair of shoes or being shot for showing up in the wrong suburb.
Riots are just as common outside Brazilian football as they are inside Brazilian football with fans and players being shot and murdered in the streets and on the training pitch.
Robinho has a lot of nerve saying Manchester is a horrible place to live.
Ex Manchester City player and Legend Francis Lee tells it how it is even if we already think the same, and branded having flop Robinho at City as a definite low point.
“I was delighted to see him come, but even more so to see him go,” he said. “He’s supposed to be one of the best players in the world, but unless he sorts himself out, he never will be.
“He’s definitely got a flaw. All the supporters wanted him to be a big star, but he let them down, he let the club down and he let himself down.
“Considering the money he was bought for – the pounds that have been spent on him – and how quickly he went from hero to nothing, it was totally unacceptable. But the best thing has happened with him leaving.”
Lee will be inducted to the Hall of Fame on September 23 at the Hilton Hotel, Manchester in recognition of his contribution to City, Derby, Bolton and England.
Francis Lee will join other legends like Sir Bobby Charlton on the National Football Museum's celebration of the greatest players to grace the English game.
Fellow City stars Colin Bell, Frank Swift, Bert Trautmann and Denis Law are already present in the Hall of Fame.
Robinho is not even a scratch on these players and never will be, to be branded the next Pele was completely laughable. City fans gave him the warmest of welcomes, treated him like a legend and made him feel wanted and all he could do to repay us, was to flop and whine like a little baby.
Thank God Robinho's gone!
With all due respect anonymous, everyone expected Robinho to knuckle down after flopping at Real Madrid. If anyone is to blame its Robinho and not City fans, so having a little faith in someone is naive is it?
ReplyDeleteI hate Robinho almost as much as I hate Gary Neville. The disrespect he showed our club was incredible. I truly hope he has a torrid time in Milan and ends up back in Brazil, on less money, with less fame and with no place in the next World Cup squad - oh that would be wonderful wouldn't it.
ReplyDeleteAccording to footballers of Robinho's ilk, sunshine is apparently the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, murder, shootings, rape, robbery are an aside.
A total lack of respect and an excuse as transparent as my front window.
As Franny said, hero to zero in rapid time. He was playing for the finest club in the world at Madrid, but messed it up.
But hey, he is a multi-millionaire...that is the real incentive for individuals like him and the ability to boast about what he did, albeit the "nearly man".
Lives off the performances in Brazil against Coca Cola League 2 opposition.
He will do EXACTLY the same in Milan. When the going gets tough and he has to put in something different, Robinho disappears.
Robinho will flop anywhere he plays. He has no guts and no principles. How I would love AC Milan to be third in their CL group, drop into the Europa League and meet us. Now that would be a reunion to relish!
ReplyDeleteStill dont forget the penalty that Francis Lee simulated in november 75.
ReplyDeleteKind regards and punches
