TIOC Backs Maicon, Will Prove You Critics Wrong, Book: The Fall Of The Young Guvnor's
Every time I read about Maicon, the idiotic author just can't resist having a dig using the over rated Gareth Bale as ammunition. On the night Tottenham Hotspur met Inter Milan, Milan were naive and played right into Spurs hands.
Maicon was let down by his Inter team mates on that night, a very poor Inter were nothing but average. He was left to cover at right back on his own, having no choice but to either track the Spurs player running wide while Bale made his run inside or vice verse (no single player in the world can defend against two players no matter how good they are).
Which leads me to continue to make the same statement: Douglas Maicon is still a world class defender despite losing a foot in pace, saying that I believe Roberto Mancini drafted Maicon in knowing that he could help him regain the level of fitness and pace needed to reignite his career.
At £3 million Manchester City have bagged a bargain, I have total and utter faith that Bobby Manc will work his magic once again and continue to do so for many more seasons. When the media were peddling us chasing the signature of Mr Bale, I prayed to mother earth and pretty much every single god or demi god that it would turn out to be nothing but a fabrication. (Boy was I Happy when the window shut!)
To end with "What has Gareth Bale done since? NOTHING
As I typed out this article Aleksandar Kolarov had just owned and humiliated Gareth Bale as Serbia thumped Wales 6 - 1, Chelsea's Ivanovic also humiliated Bale by dispossessing him and beating Wales team mate Ricketts down the right and set up Serbia team mate Tadic for a simple finish.
If you are considering betting on Man City vs Stoke City I recommend checking out Luxbet Soccer Betting who are backed by TABCorp (who also have pretty good EPL odds!
The Young Guvnors by Rodney Rhoden
The book makes for an interesting read taking you on a journey through the eyes of British football hooliganism, it's ultimately about the fall of the firm but takes you on a journey from start to finish.
Rodney Rhoden gives you his account of the Young Guvnors fighting up and down the country against rival firms, seeking as much as defending and as the introduction states 'to say it is not a pleasant story is an understatement'.
'From the formation in the mid 1980s when organised football hooliganism was at its all time high, it's a vicious account of how they operated - their bloody battles with opposing mobs and ultimately their demise'.
This can be found on a kindle or similar platform for less than 4GBP or in Paperback for less than 9GBP
