Vincent Kompany. Mr Nice Guy ?

I've posted a few times that beneath that affable, smiling exterior there surely lurks a ruthless mentality, someone who knows him well confirmed it yesterday.

There's a BBC video on YouTube about the game's Hard Men, Jug Ears, Shearer and Micah Richards are discussing ten names they've been given and ranking them in order of brutality and telling of their experiences with them. Just for interest they all agreed that Duncan Ferguson was the hardest of the lot. They were also mentioning a few names that could have been on the list but weren't, our Joey was mentioned as one who could have been on, but they weren't over-impressed with his credentials, one on the list they said shouldn't have been was Diego Costa, he was just a bit of a nuisance, niggly rather than a real hard man, then right at the end Richards suddenly said I'll tell you who should have been on that list but isn't, Vincent Kompany, said he trained with him and he was 'horrible'. I think it was his polite way of saying Vinni was a hard b@stard, even in training.

And leopards don't change their spots.

He has just dismissed Colin’s complaints of us fielding a weakened team against Reading as “waste of paper”. Affable on the outside a proper tw@t on the inside!

From my experience «*nice guys*» rarely, if ever, get to the top of their professions. In sport, they are driven individuals. They have to be. However, that does not mean they are nasty b@stards. Some of them can be, it is true. In the main, it means that they are prepared to put in the hours and do the dirty work.

I never enjoyed firing someone. Sometimes it had to be done.
