Really? And a snidy, remark about the moves for safe-standing, implying how irresponsible it is "even after Hillsborough".The tragedy of Hillsborough wasn't caused by fans standing Mr Green, which you'd know if you had read/listened to any of the reports regarding it. They were very public, very loud and very clear.How ill-informed can an "experienced" commentator/expert be? Twunt!Mr Green was asked to examine the safe standing roadshow at Villa Park. He said "I was at Hillsborough" and walked away ignoring everything else.

I think CiŁy represent pretty much everything I detest about football. Stealing villas best players , paying wages of Ł300k + a week , a glossy new 50,000 identikit stadium , Gary Cook, a stadium named after a foreign airline . Just gross .
Some bloke called Messi now top all time CL goal scorer. How did he sneak that record?

I went to there new stadium at the end of last season for the first time, they were just about to be crowned champions we lost 4 nillIt's probably the most soulless of all the new stadiums I've visited, even worse than ArsenalThe atmosphere wasn't bad, it just didn't feel real, I can't explain it, but as daft as this sounds I wasn't jealous
I sound like a crotchety old sod here, but it makes me really mad when I see people wearing Man City gear when I'm out and about. The person in question may have had a season ticket for years or followed them through the leagues and back, but I will automatically assume they're a glory hunter.
