Did they serve cake only to the winner?
Yaya cries again.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yaya has decided to take his own advice and considers that playing abroad is shameful as only performances in Africa should count towards winning any awards. He has decided to leave Manchester City forthwith and will offer his services to any Ivory Coast league team willing to take him on, he also states that he is willing to play for only the average national salary of around $2000 per year
Had to go to Bluemoon to see their reactions.
After I saw Aubemayang won the award last night I was waiting for Toure to comment, surprised at the extent of his reaction though. I'd sympathise with him if there was a precedent for awarding it to a player who won the ACoN, but it's hardly as if in previous years he's had any problem accepting it at the cost of a member of the ACoN winning team. It's just bitterness at not picking up the award and nothing else. Although he did still congratulate and praise Aubemayang it's incredibly disrespectful, he really should have learnt by now to just keep such feelings to himself, all these outbursts do is tarnish his legacy.
You may be the only level headed City fan I have ever seen on the Internet.
I'd be surprised if most City fans didn't share my opinion on this, it's incredibly frustrating when Toure says stuff like this. He's a legend and rightly loved by the majority of fans so when he makes an idiot of himself and presents himself like he has done with his comments yesterday it detracts from what he has done on the pitch for us. I'd prefer to be able to look back on his time at the club and remember only what he helped us achieve, unfortunately it's becoming increasingly difficult to dissociate him with 'Cakegate' and the likes.
Tbf even everyone on bluemoon agrees that he's a clown and should simply stay away from any microphone as it just ends in embarrassment most of the time.
Yaya has been bang average for ages, why on earth does he believe he's entitled to that award. I find the fact he's in second place bizarre, surely there is someone more befitting.
What an absolute donkey.
Probably that time of the month for Yaya. Seems like a guy who would create a massive tantrum when the remote is slightly out of reach.
Fat, arrogant lazy bastard. He's been crap all year bar one or two wonder goals. If they were enough to win awards we'd have Coutinho winning POTY.
Maybe just maybe I could sympathise with him if he'd had a good year. There is no way he should be even be close to Aubameyang.
A sore loser and an entitled baby. FFS have some dignity.
Why are people surprised? He almost handed in a transfer request at City because he didn't get a birthday cake ffs.
Proper prick.
Proper prick.
Definitely a precious soul. Bless him.
Yaya is an incredible footballer.
but he is lazy...and a drama queen.

What a tool. I mean it wasn't even if Aubameyang had a recent string of good games, he already scored 15 and assisted 4 in around 21 games in the first half of 2015, among them the equalizer in the cup semi against Bayern and the lead in the final vs Wolfsburg (which they eventually lost), his total tally for 2015 is like 42 goals and 10 assists in 48 matches, it's utterly pathetic to bitch about him getting such an individual award when he put out numbers like that.
In contrast Kolo has always appeared a pretty humble guy. My web-degree in family counselling would suggest that one was favoured over the other.
He's been shite all year, what the feck does he want Aubamayeng has been amazing all year and fully deserves it. Toure hardly deserves to be top 3 even. What a spoilt baby

Moron.
Surely City fans must be getting embarrassed by his off-pitch antics. But I guess as long as he keeps trudging around the pitch with the occasional 1-2 minutes of world class brilliance per game, they won't really care.

What a fecking nobber
Auba should have just chinned him on stage.
Seriously. How could it be anyone but Auba. He's been scoring almost a goal a game since February. Yaya has been a combination of bang-average and total liability for about 2 years. Probably shouldn't have even been in the top 5.

This is my biggest gripe when people criticise Toure, he's become a victim of his own success. Once he established himself as a dominant, goal-scoring midfielder people assume apart from when he scores or assists then he is underperforming and simply "trudging around". He is still a CM for us and his key attribute to the side has never been his goalscoring, that's always just being a substantial bonus to his role. When he is absent City suffer considerably, nobody else can do his job in the team. He gets called lazy for example in the Arsenal game but the stats showed only one player covered more ground than him, that's because he is always positioning himself for the ball and trying to get the attacking players into the game. That's his main purpose in the side and he generally does that to a high-standard in a quiet, efficient and unappreciated manner game after game. Yes, he has dipped since the 2013/14 season but only as you'd expect someone of his physicality to decline as they age, I still would not swap him for any other CM in the league (excluding age as a factor).
Hilarious
after the birthday cake incident nothing surprises me.
Don't waste your breath. Once a narrative is established through repetition on the media and forums, it is almost impossible to shake it off regardless of you know ... the facts. You can apply this to everything. Wenger is naïve, Mourinho outsmarts pretty much everyone in the big games, Pep does not have a plan B, LvG stifles his players too much and yes Yaya is a lazy sod who pops in with the occasional moment of brilliance. It's not that these things are necessarily all lies but there is way more to them than the lazy narrative being spread around by pundits and embraced by fans.
Having said that, Yaya IS the mother of all drama queens!
Strikers are usually a selfish bunch who will leave the field happy as long as they score a goal. At least the good ones, it's part of what makes them good goalscorers. Between winning a league and an individual award there probably aren't many players but there sure are some that would care.
When Alexander the Great was asked why he was crying after learning from Anaxarchus that there were possibly more worlds than Earth he said: "Is it not worthy of tears, that, when the number of worlds is infinite, we have not yet become lords of a single one?"
He's a petulant child.
Its strange to see player like him react in such a way on occasion like this,shame.
I wish they'd pull a Steve Harvey on him next year. What a little bitch.
Colossally overrated. By the media, by the fans, by himself.
Absolute ridiculous reaction. He's like a child. I shouldn't surprised though considering who we are talking about here.Why am I not surprised?...Made me instantly think of that South Park episode where Bono goes on a rant that he always has to be number 1 never number 2.
You've gotta be kidding, right?
Here are his goalscoring stats since he joined City:
2010/11 - 10 goals
2011/12 - 9 goals
2012/13 - 9 goals
2013/14 - 24 goals
1014/15 - 12 goals
2015/16 - 6 goals
A footballer that consistently gets into double figures per season goals wise is not known for his goalscoring?
He's a match winner, I've lost count the number of times he's won you games on his own from a last minute goal or two whilst pretty much being absent for the rest of the game.
His passing isn't particularly impressive, neither is his tackling. But he doesn't need to be, as he has the likes of Silva and Fernando/inho compensate in those regards.
His key attributes seem to be his drives forward and his goalscoring ability. The rest of the time he looks like a sulky teenager, especially when he's playing DMC or in a 2 man midfield. He has to be the furthest forward of the midfielders, otherwise he's not as effective.

Did I say that he is not known for his goalscoring or that it is not his key attribute? I said the latter, which is true. He made his name in football, chiefly in a Barcelona side that won everything, without ever being noted for his goals. You do not earn a move to play CDM for Barca and have goalscoring as your chief asset. Your belief that if he isn't driving forward or scoring that he is "absent" is so untrue.
You clearly have not watched him in any depth if you believe his passing is not impressive. Only effective when he's the furthest forward? There's no point engaging in debate if someone has an opinion that is so intrinsically wrong.
He's a self-centered prick isn't he? How long before his agent kicks up a fuss about the players for celebrating with the goalie rather than with Yaya GOAT Toure?
