Yeah but that's a bit idealistic mate. Given that lots of ST holders cant be arsed to turn out for league games what would we do? Arrange a foreign team to come, get a crowd of 15 to 20k and leave everyone with a fairly bad taste in their mouth?

Let him remember it as it was.

Was he there for the lap of honour? What a last memory eh?

Love Zabs to death, but...

The rule is 10 years and he only played here for 8.

If Dunney can't get one for only playing 9, then Zabs can toddle off to Rome for a last pay day.

Rules are meant for breaking/bending/altering ask UEFA.
Zabba will be missed badly,what a warrior he has been for us

Just think it's a shame that so few stuck around to see him off on his last day at the stadium where he gave us so many good memories.

There are no rules for a testimonial. It's an unwritten rule. We can if we want to.

Zabba was asked whether he wold prefer to never play football again or play for the rags. He replied he'd go home and prefer to watch City on the sofa.

Top fella

If he does go. I hope we get Roma in the CL to give us a chance to say thank you. Would be even better if he was on the bench and came out to warm up a few times but didn't play against us.

That wouldnt even have been a decent idea when Zabba was at his yellow cardy defensive midfield best when he first arrived , so...there's that.

Cheers

We didn't have Fernando when Zaba first came. So yeah.....there's that.

Cheers fat boi!

You're completely missing the point that Pablo wasn't even a better defensive mid when he first came let alone now. Fucktardo.

Pull your head out of your ass. Learn to read. Write better posts. Have smarter opinions. Etc.

Let alone now? How do you know that? When was he last tried there? The answer is you don't know. Fucktard.

Okay Mike. I'll definitely be sure to listen to a guy that's been to one City match in his life.

Pride in Battle summed up Zabba.

True legend and warrior , will always be right up there as a Man City legend .

Shame his form and fitness slumped alarmingly the last year or so but so did several other players .

Definitely.

So a testimonial was to give a retired player a bit to live on. I'm mystified why today's multi millionaires would need that.

Great servant, time to move on

He doesn't...the poster just clearly doesn't understand what the intent is of the actual thing itself.

Anyway....

cheers

Might it be so the fans can say a proper goodbye to an undoubted City Legend,Not for a monetary purpose as any money earned could be given to a charity of Zabba's choice.

The fans had a chance to wish him well at the end of last season we all knew he was leaving or retiring. They chose not to

Word now is he's staying one more season.

Why not ten?

Good word.

Zab's has been immense for the club and us fans, and although he's had a couple of injury troubled seasons, can take us on to win it again. The likes of Zab don't come along often and it's easy to see why we won the league when he was in form and injury free.

His attitude and guile lift every single one of us associated with the club and I'd give him as much time with us as possible as he has the affect that not many others can bring.

When we talk legends, Zab is one, if not not the top, of my list.
