Manchester City

I find it difficult to muster a dislike for him even though he is ginger and plays for that lot.


He has been very proactive with regards to charity work since his days playing in Germany and apparantly both he and his wife do an awful lot for charities and organisations beyond what gets reported publically.


As a footballer, and again trying to ignore who he plays for, he was gifted and a genuine world class level player.

Rude

De Bruyne is leaving on a free in the summer. Folk on Bluemoon calling for a statue and to retire his shirt number.

Brilliant player.

Top 5 for players I would pay to watch in the Premier League era, just a magician.

Such a pity he played for the plastic club

No love for Jean-Claude Camille Francois Van Varenberg or Audrey Hepburn?

Or the Muscles from Brussels, or even Origi???

Jean-Claude Camille Francois Van Varenberg is JCVD's name.

[ChesterDave]

I took Jean-Claude to be JCVD and assumed Francois Van Varenberg was a different person. Film director or muscian or some other pop culture black hole for me

Ha my bad. Not a super fan like Jaco I guess

[DerKrampus]

Or Diane von Fürstenberg

Bengiums 3rd most famous son behind Tintin and Poirot.

I reckon that had the country been called Bengium it'd been far more successful

Putting rivalries aside he seems decent guy, given the put up statues for recent players such as Kompany, Aguero and Silva there is a good case for him getting a statue based on that precedent

He was ****ing ****e today, that mamush seems like a decent player tho. Hard to believe in the drop off on City this year tho

I'm getting the impression that City's punishment won't be announced until we know how many points deduction they can have without sending them down this season...

Irrelevant TBH - City will/would/need to appeal

[Bloodraven]

maybe that's the compromise?

[Le Chef]

Maybe-Who knows, bit IMO the would lose serious face be accepting deduction or even a fine

[Cerbie]

It’s weird no one is talking about it at all though. Could they have made the judgement and are hearing the appeal now in private?
