Man City fans fume at ‘clown’ Micah Richards after his surprise confession

Man City fans managed to secure progress into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday (1 March) by defeating Plymouth Argyle.

The defending Premier League champions conceded in the 38th minute of the game but fought back to win the tie 3-1.

A brace from teenager Nico O’Reilly and a 90th-minute goal from Kevin De Bruyne kept City in the competition heading into the quarter-final stage.

The prestigious tournament currently serves as City’s only opportunity for silverware this season, placing increasing pressure on the team when it comes to these fixtures.

Pep Guardiola’s side failed to reach the EFL Cup final and have already been knocked out of the Champions League in what is proving to be a tough season.

Former City player Micah Richards worked on BBC during the FA Cup weekend and reflected on the teams that are left in the competition.

He said, “It’s very open, what a chance a team to go and win it now all the ‘big teams’ are out now. I mean Man City, maybe, obviously the strongest team still in there.”

Richards’ comments about his former club immediately caught the attention of supporters who felt that he wasn’t taking the team seriously.
