Note England didn't call him up again. I wonder why?
Top scorer? C'mon, who was our top scorer last season? Utterly irrelevant to the debate...
Fact is, he's playing as if he doesn't want to be here. Which I doubt he will in summer. Sod all this "boo hoo, nasty fans horrible to ne" shit - if he can't f*cking motivate himself to f*cking achieve, ie working bollocks off to help us get promoted, then there's a lack of professional pride.

decades ??? Maybe but only because CCFC are in the Championship ................. Chopra , Dale and Stant have scored a hell of a lot more goals than him and their work rates always 100% . Sorry but its hard to compare sometimes , and yes I know Dale and Stant performed in lower divisions . Personally Nathan Blake is the best player CCFC have had and Stanty by far the best striker .............. his 1 England cap was against Argentina at the Falklands

It goes both ways.
I've enjoyed watching the most skilful striker I've ever seen in a City shirt.
He gets battered by defenders and treated like shit by the ref. He's in a City shirt, so he'll get my backing.
I'm sure we'd get a hell of a lot more out of him by backing him than slagging him off.

1) He's disappeared in a number of games this season.
2) He'd have to be an idiot to only want to make the effort when the crowd verbally fellate him. Would indicate more concerned with self than team.
3) Professional pride. Boils down to individual ethics.I've enjoyed watching the most skilful striker I've ever seen in a City shirt.
Agree, but you need that workrate, Started off well this season, rapidly tailed off as his contract winds down.He gets battered by defenders and treated like shit by the ref. He's in a City shirt, so he'll get my backing.
Can't in every situation.
Watch Bothroyd when the ball is humped long - backs into defender, bends over, attempts to make it look like he was fouled. An challenge, he falls dramatically. People talk about boo boys - well, recently one of his dives was just so abysmal, people around me weren't booing - they were openly laughing at how bad it was.
Refs have wised up to the fact he's attempting to cheat each and every game.I'm sure we'd get a hell of a lot more out of him by backing him than slagging him off.
If his motivation was public adulation. true pro would realise they weren't in form, focus upon the game not the crowd.

Talking more about the topic in genral pal, dont believe Jay would even read the messageboard in my opinion. I know whitts never has but couldnt be sure about Jay i suppose, this whole negativity thing from twitter is embarassing as surely we should be getting behined the players.

Those points above are half-hearted, cringible, excuses for pathetic behaviour from people who are supposed to SUPPORT the club. If you think screaming abuse at a player for not running around like a headless chicken helps then you are sadly wrong.

LMFAO.
If your "you're not a real fan unlike me" point is meant to impress...Those points above are half-hearted, cringible, excuses for pathetic behaviour from people who are supposed to SUPPORT the club. If you think screaming abuse at a player for not running around like a headless chicken helps then you are sadly wrong.
As always, abuse indicates a paucity of a logical argument.
Just to enlighten you somewhat, as you seem to be lacking a few energy saving light bulbs, here are some points for you.
1) I have never - ever - screamed abuse at a player ON THE PITCH. Nor do I tolerate it - there's one tw*t sat near me who will get a piece of my mind next game, because he was even hurling abuse at Bothroyd after the penalty.
2) Do I believe players should "run around like a headless chicken"? No. I've slagged off Savage numerous times for that. Sadly for your attempted point, you totally miss the "effort/skill" relationship. Psycho gave 100%; nowhere near good enough for this level. Jay has the skill, at times the effort goes missing.
3) Should people express their opinion on message boards? Sure. You might want to santicise and censor debates just in case sensitive players may possibly take offence, but that's your problem, not mine to be honest.

Not a case of sensoring them just tired of people who just want to bitch.
