I also wondered what the fuck the big pause was on about. He's clearly a city player and done most of his best work on blue. No need for the "man city at the moment shit".

Wanker.

I also hope they win it. Might spur them on domestically. Yaya especially, strikes me as a player who thrives on success

Except when we win the title, then he turns into a moody bastid for the next 12 months.

I hope IC win it, Yaya and Wilf scoring in the final, and they return home happy and full of beans. Plus, I think, the final will be Yaya's last international. Without sinking into a Gerrard of sentimentality, I'd like to see him go out a winner.

I also hope they win it - but what I take from these last few posts is perhaps Ya Ya should take our corners? Even though 6ft 4.5ins he never gets on the ball from a corner - so perhaps he is best used for the quality of his delivery? I am sure that he would beat the 1st man at least

Yaya's corners for Ivory Coast have not been brilliant but delivery has been a step up from the usual City standard. It's true Yaya is not good at heading the ball considering his height.

It's incredible that we don't have a number of players at our club who can deliver a consistent corner cross with pace and accuracy.

He is the worst header of the ball in world football , he jumps 2 inches off the ground (On a good day).....its like the cunt has lead in his boots.

All our corners should be played short...as we are shite at anything else.

Think you might right but do you really think Yaya will still be with us when the next one comes around? Now if Bony quit .......

No, but him not fucking off for international breaks/pointless friendlies and having a nice rest and some cake instead will undoubtedly be a good thing over the next year or so.

some equatorial guinea fans kept throwing objects at ghana fans so the ghana supporters may have run away to avoid being hit by heading onto the pitch.

Eg players have allegedly not helped prior by complaining about picking up several yellows since the game seemed out of reach.

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
