Indeed. Gives the impression of a 40-ood year old bloke who lives with his dead mum and hasn't left his bedroom, ever

You have my sympathy for your lost credibility :-)

If he's playing we need him at his best, so give him some support when he's out there.

So you're saying if we all get behind him and cheer his name he'll pull his finger out and start working for the team?

Bollocks!

Fine give him shit then. It always worked in the past. I loved the 3rd division.

And he has been one of the the most important players in title run ins etc during previous seasons. A bit of encouragement might just get a couple of goals etc out of him.

If I had a quid for every time fans were handed their feet to stick in their mouths by quality players over the years, I would be able to buy Gareth Bale & have him mowing my lawn.

If the fans get behind all the players during this last period, we will probably finish where we want to finish, & it's not impossible Yaya will make a significant contribution. Create a negative atmosphere & there's a good chance we will get negative results.

All the individual agendas can be put aside for a few weeks.

Ted, you're right that it's entirely possible for Yaya to put in some great performances in the run-in and we get some good results. I don't think that negates what has already happened this season, and people are well within their rights to feel let down.

I hope there isn't anything as ridiculous as booing going on during games, and all players should have our support when they are on the field. In between games and at the end of a season are the time for some perspective, however.

What yaya has accomplished here at City has been immense, but this season has been a huge let down ... and it's not just down to performances, it's about attitude, and I believe that is what is so hard to stomach for so many. I can't blame them.

Pellegrini said: “It’s more important than ever to have the fans, the players and the staff together as one. We are one club.”

Well if he does, you can fuck off sunshine.

I support Pellegrini, I don't expect him to come out and trash toure now, but I expect him to say that he expects more.

That statement is a fucking poke in the eye for the fans

Pellegrini said: "He doesn't need a break. For a lot of reasons he's not the same Yaya he was last season but he continues being a very important player for our team.

"I don't think Yaya is happy with his performance this year, andI am not happy also with his performance. But we must support him and he will return him to his normal performance.

"He's a very important player and he will have my support until the end of the season."
