These are not talented footballers, they are machines who are trained day in day out to do what they are told. I cannot watch Man City, they bore me to death.
Plus they play every week on snooker table quality pitches. Just watch an old MOTD at the likes of Derby from the mid 70s and it was like the Somme from late Oct onwards.
They are the Harlem Globetrotters of the modern age, but Christ I would slit my wrists if I had to endure a City game.
Give me Bell, Lee and Summerbee any day.
