Vfab I never said u weren’t allowed favorites we all have them I just feel from reading the blog for a good part of a year that you favour english players it doesn’t mean u don’t criticise them its I genuinly do not believe u would have criticised say barry as harshly if he performed like garcia vs wigan (not that he would be that bad) I think the main reason people are shooting garcia down is because nigel de jong left and there big shoes to fill plus the fact he cost 20+ million doesn’t help I apoligise if any offense was caused

Alphie,

Political correctness is taking over the world and you sir are a shining example of what is wrong with free speech in the Western World at the moment.

I purchased a Garcia kit as a result of his joining and my joy at his acquisition. I can tell you that his performances have been cowardly, regardless of his personal character. Unfortunately he has been somewhat gutless going into challenges and since his goal on debut, he has offered little in the way of proving that he has any significant values to offer.

It is far too early to comment on how he will suit our club long term, but the continual defense of fitting into a new league does not account for basic footballing mistakes like gutlessly avoiding tackles and misplacing passes.

I am a big Garcia fan, and I hope with all my heart he fits in and can provide us with the De Rossi element.

I also hope that you respect the author of this blog. He has put time and effort into this blog and has always been respectful and unbiased.

Gutless, cowardly and any other suggestions of Garcias PERFORMANCE is accurate. That doesnt necessarily translate to his character.

You are seemingly stuck on that topic, trying to tear down said Author. I am offended that you have such a narrow vision with respect to the word cowardly and put shame on somebody who has invested personal time in creating good reading material for blues throughout the world.

Read a book, learn the concept of an Adjective. http://www.dictionary.com is a good start.

Izzett, it depends on how you interpret the word. The “coward” can be used as a figure of speech, I totally understand when VfaB called Garcia’s challenges and attitude cowardly in the Wigan match esp after watching the way he bulked at challenges. This by no means implies that Garcia is coward literally. However; if you opted to interpret the word “literally”, then that is your prerogative but I opted to take it figuratively and I see nothing wrong with that usage. You need to take a step back and do not let your passion and love for the club to manifest itself as accusations and inquisition of ideas of other City loving fans.

It is absolutely outrageous to accuse people on the basis of their ideas at least on this Blog where I have come to know that majority of you folks are fans that truly have the club’s best at heart. we all should be more tolerant to the each other’s views even if you find them on the opposite side of spectrum esp when they come from true City fans. We all disagree with each other one way or the other to varying degrees and that should not be a basis for accusations. So let’s stick to the first basic blog rule of “agreeing to disagree” [at least within the family of City fans],otherwise; you should not be reading or posting in the blog.

VfaB, as you often do, you have responded with a reasonable if not compelling defence of your blog. If it were not that I think your efforts have merit I wouldn’t bother, but I do think you are thoughtful, worth reading and developng a style that is worth cultivating.

However, and this is the big one for me…you have responded to relatively mild criticism from Josn & Ryan, but have completely ignored the very pointed criticism of your personal attack on the courage and hence integrity of Javi Garcia, a relatively new and untried wearer of our beloved shirt.

I asked you to take a step back and have long hard look at your comment regarding Javi Garcia. I explained that what really incensed me is the accusation of cowardice which is nothing less than disgraceful.

Either respond to this or be prepared to be uncomfortable when you look in the mirror in the morning at the man who called another man a coward.
