Slow Messi, The Legend Who Turned City Into European Heavyweights

Slow Messi as Mario Balotelli describes him, David Silva has almost won it all. Merlin is the proud owner of the Charity Shield, Capital One Cup, FA Cup, 2 Premier League title medals, 1 World Cup medal and what could be his 3rd European Championship medal if Spain can go on to win this years European Championship.

Silva as far as I'm concerns is up there with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the only difference is he's chosen to really make history. Rather than be surrounded by an entire squad of World Cup winners or players at the top of their game, that's not taking anything away from my club City. And this isn't the first time this has happened to City, before David Silva there was Georgi Kinkladze. We all know David Silva could have walked straight into Barcelona or Real Madrid, but he didn't not once push for a move.

Without Silva Manchester City may well have never risen as quickly as we have back to the summit of English football, recently he's been the target for Arsenal fans and the British Media. Used as a bench mark for judge other players, but Arsenal fans always have to go one further and claim their beloved Ozil's a better player. Yeah ok the lad may have won the World Cup recently and been in a team of already world class stars as a passenger, but he's got nothing on David Silva.

Merlin is about to be confirmed as one of Spain's greatest ever players, when he walks out at the Stadium De Toulouse against the Czech Republic in what will be his 100th Cap for La Roja. This is one game I'm never going to miss, despite being an Englishman. Arsenal fans are painting it was City Vs Arsenal due to Petr Cech and Tomas Rosicky, got to love those funny little Gooners as I think they've forgotten that they have 3 Spanish Internationals at their club also.

If there's two things I hope for out of football right now, it's for Spain to defeat the Czech Republic at 2pm today for Silva, and for Pep Guardiola to lead Silva and Manchester City to the Champions League trophy. This is exactly why I wanted Pellegrini sacked last season and Guardiola in, because we have players who deserve a Champions League winners medal in Joe Hart, Vinny Kompany, Sergio Aguero, Pablo Zabaleta and David Silva. They have done so much for Manchester City so it's the least they deserve, for the service they have given to date. I will be gutted if Zabaleta moves on before we win the Champions League, I say before because I believes it's only a matter of time.

I also have to add David Silva is 16 appearances away from having played 200 matches for Manchester City, so this season is a huge season for our Wizard Merlin. Will you be watching the game and cheering on Silva?

Kickoff at 2pm

England Fans Booing And Attacking Raheem Sterling Are Embarrassing, Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves

It's quite pathetic if you look at it with clear understanding, the first time England fans started jeering and booing Raheem Sterling was after he signed for Manchester City. So the England fans doing so from the start have a hidden agenda and are more than likely Liverpool fans. Any other England fan joining in are just opportunistic crowd following embarrassments. I'm English and an England fan and I have to say it's embarrassing, foremost I'm a Manchester City fan if you hadn't already guessed. While the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville took to the field for England I put aside my issues because they were England players and not United players. You can point to the fact Sterling hasn't performed well enough but, I'll point to the fact you aren't jeering and booing the other England players who have under performed just as much if not worse.

What about Wayne Rooney aye, how long did it take before he performed in any World Cup? Never. But England fans never get on his back like the way they're doing with Sterling, this is clear and blatant bitter and envious opportunism of the highest order and you should be ashamed of yourselves. That includes the likes of bitter Arsenal fan Piers Morgan with his pathetic tweets or Betting Company Corals opportunistic smart ass tweets. Yes every ones entitled to their opinion but, there's such a thing as taking it too far. Like Liverpool fans threatening Sterling's young Daughter and his Girlfriend on Twitter, the British Media on his back all the time.

Constantly pointing too his transfer fee and claiming he's under performed for Manchester City. When in fact Sterling matched his 11 goals and 10 assists record he set at previous club Liverpool with Manchester City the season just gone, despite playing 5 less matches and scoring slightly more in the Champions League. The low lives need to get off Sterling's back and stop embarrassing England, England have enough to deal with via the British Media without the fans turning on our players. Should be ashamed of yourselves.
