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.
