If they had paid based on potential(as clubs had started to do eg. Arsenal - Jeffers ) he would have been, we were in dire straits and Rooney wanted to leave if he was at a financially stable club the fee would have been in that region.

That just proves he should have hit him harder

He was regular in the England team, he done Zidane (I think this was Euro 2004 I may be wrong) and cemented himself as the next best.

Thanks

A lot of players try an elbow after a few decisions go against them, and that is the referees fault should be consistent with the two teams decisions, but more often than not the top 4 get away with a lot with the opposition getting punished for any contact regardess of wether its a foul. The headbutt is Kompanys fault. Barton took one for the team and kicked out on Aguero under the advice of a team mate.

Thought he followed the run. The linesman would have had a better a view of Tevez on Barton than the other way round.

Maybe it wasn't, I'm revising for exams atm so might just be in reiterate mode

The ref had seen Tevez foul Barton and let it go, which he shouldt of as he was easily a yellow for Tevez. Barton was off the ball and the linesman couldnt see it with 4 players in a line in his view, just give it cos it was Barton (was a foul but theres no way they could see that). It was last game of the season, facing championship football and a wage cut because a referee hasnt done his job properly. If QPR had gone down there would have been a big swing in Bartons favour.

Sort of, it was a little vague that they weren't getting beat before they played the game out.

He was a regular, he broke the record as youngest Premier league, England and Euros scorer. He stood out having that natural class. He was worth what they paid for him, if they paid for the potential we would have got closer to 35.

Bolton game finished just before City scored an equaliser, then just rolled over.

Gave everything Citys way. First booking was for nothing in the first half. Tevez was all over him and whacked in to Barton, if the ref had gave a free kick Barton wouldn't of retaliated. Much the same reason we see Fellaini hit out. The after math he's tried to take Aguero with him, which was the wrong (but he made a meal of it as well), but if we were in the same position I'd expect Cahill or Neville to do the same. Ballotelli and Kompany incidents should be blamed on them not Barton, only thing he should be punished for is hitting out on Aguero, which would be an extended ban, but they should take in account the poor referee decisions going against him.

Rooney was proven, he was England's main striker at the Euros. Fellaini is younger and better than Modric, Javi Martinez is toted for £40 mil Fellaini should be more.

Depending on your philosophy to a certain subject it can determine your view on whats right/wrong. If you lean more towards science you would want to see the numbers evidence, or if to the arts you argue with words.

Very Ronseal single-worded post.

I dont mind philosophy for general discussion, open the mind and all that bollocks but Sociology really has no purpose. It's like history and microeconomics mixed with unproven bull shit, same goes for anthropology as well.

Sociology has to be one of the most pointless subjects in the world. Was he making out he would have been treated different if he had specified or something?

Swear you're trying to put me on a downer today, that match was horrible. Only thing missing from Fellaini's game is his long range goals, and he getting closer. We need to build round him, with the spine of the team being: Heitinga Jelavic If we could have a season like Newcastle, were results just magically go are way we'll win the league next season.

I dont understand, Barton is an Evertonian. Had the sociologist got mixed up?

Haha . Got one for you, I think Pienaars done well for us this season

They're the passes to Gerrard then

He was Englands best player(playing 90 mins for them when he was mostly a sub for us). Had turned Zidane inside out which pretty much stapled him in as the hottest prospect in football. Think the fee should have been closer to £35 mil. On a side note he's never full-filled his potential, bags more ability than girl-Ronaldo just doesnt apply it as well. So we got a fair deal. Be more upset if we get less than £50 mil for Fellaini.

It was a nothing match as well. Earlier in the season think it would have been different.

Ref should be punished, Barton wouldn't of done any of that if he'd done his job properly. Ballotelli, Kompany, and Tevez should all be punished as well. Any fans who are 'appalled' by his actions have never been in a relegation battle.
