Is that why the place is quieter than a quiet thing? Thought city fans were supposed to be the best in the world, or is that just their opinion ?

To be fair we only started with 3 on Saturday...
It is a complete joke. Give some bloody English players a go. This is ENGLAND; it's the ENGLISH Premier League. I liked the game when we maybe had one or two johnny foreigners per game and you could pronounce the name of pretty much every player on the pitch. Starting to go off this nonsense.
And we're just as bad. At least our last couple of signings have English sounding names.

I thought that accolade went to Pompey fans.

Bring back the days of Russell Slade signing very traditional sounding British names like Tunnicliffe and Thornhill.

It's weird how clubs try to invest so much money in scouting for home-grown talent and developing English youngsters' skills in academies, but still end up spending a mint on foreign players. Just like all other industries and products in the UK, we rely too heavily on imports from abroad. That said mind, I'm not sure I'm in favour of tighter regulation re: capping numbers of foreign players. Although it levels out the playing field and encourages local talent to flourish, I think it's just a step too far in terms of restrictions and interference by the FA. It's a toughy.

Jesus Navas is utter toilet. Utter, utter toilet. I watch Spanish football so I've known it for a few years. Pace, that is it. Headless chicken, bombs down the wing and hopes for the best.
£15million. Because he's Spanish.

Agree about his ability but that appears to be the going rate for a player of that ability. How much would City of had to pay for the English equalvent of Walcott or Lennon?
