Love Man City going back to that old badge. Is it for a particular reason or just a permanent change?

No...still after a keeper, Stekelenburg only brought in as a back up, and Robles will not be seen as a first choice either.
Still if it is first team football that he wants, there are not exactly lots of other options in the Premier League available for a goalkeeper. Quote:
Boxer shorts for Gary tonight then!
He did well with what little he had on though. Quote:

Permanent change, looks a lot smarter than the old one.

lol typical david moyes sub. Take off the only striker that can score you goals and put on a defender that only joined the club a couple days ago.
Ill never understand how he was giving the united job. |

Getting rid of the two stars I think was a good idea, as generally they are for clubs I think that have won the major trophies, something City have yet to do, so they never really earned those stars, it was more of an cosmetic thing with them it seemed. |

Clubs in England went through a phase of putting stars above or under their badges when they'd done nothing to earn them. I think Ipswich was another one. For me to put a star on your shirt, you need to have won the European Cup/Champions League or like in Italy where you put one star on your shirt for every 10 league titles.
So I am glad that they have gone. |

Rio Ferdinand talking about how Pep wouldn't have to deal with that where he comes from, Germany and Spain. We're going to have to listen to the Pep's left two pub leagues to join the biggest baddest league in the world nonsense all throughout the season. Can't wait.

You are too paranoid. I agree that it was an innocent post about your rivals, you'd need to have a history of such posts for me to think otherwise so please accept my humblest and most sincere apologies for any aspersions you feel may have been cast, rather than passed.

you didnt comment on the design of a club badge, you specifically and very transparently, made a dig about not being worthy of the two stars. Everyone else just said, i like the design.

I agree that Manchester City should have removed the stars. Stars are for GOOD clubs with a history of winning things in Europe like all the GOOD team have, and City have never won in Europe like all the GOOD team so they're not GOOD enough to have stars underneath their badge, like all the GOOD teams do. They need to win in Europe like all the other GOOD teams first otherwise the stars shouldn't be there like they're there for all the other GOOD teams in Europe that have won a European competition, which City have not.

The stars were part of the badge, they removed them, hence my comments regarding the their badge, that was all it was, there was no dig in there.

I agree. Pointing out how they didn't earn their cosmetic design choice couldn't be misconstrued as anything but a question of aesthetics.

Its the same every year, we build up opening day for weeks beforehand, we are filled with excitement and expectations. But more often then not, the first weekend is always a bit "meh".
