Some words for @City_Xtra on the nonsense surrounding the empty seat debate and why football fans have picked the wrong enemy.

A salute to Kevin De Bruyne, such a thrilling player that he transcends club rivalries. So much respect flows De Bruyne’s way from fans all over. KDB embodies what the game should be about: competitive spirit, hunger for trophies (16 + 3 CS), selfless creativity (173 assists) and capable of goals so stunning they take the breath away, so powerful they almost take the net away.

And so many goals: 106 in 413 games for City. It’s the sheer quality and variety of his goals, barring many headers, only one in the PL from a Walker cross at Brighton last season. It’s the sumptuous volleys: managing the incredibly difficult technique of meeting a Navas cross from the right against Newcastle in 2015, catching the ball perfectly without killing the speed, controlling the angle and propelling it over Krul. “An impossibly angled volley” the Guardian called it.

And unstoppable half-volleys: the control on the chest, the ball dropping, rising and smashed past Dubravka into the Newcastle net for November 2019’s Goal of the Month. And big goals: his 25-yard equaliser in the Bernabeu in the 2023 Champions League semi-final first leg.

That trademark powerful shooting: a strike against Swansea in 2018 as straight as an arrow, “a thunderbolt from the blue”, City called it. Curlers: a run and strike whipped round Thiago Silva and Kepa of Chelsea in 2022. Caressed with the outside of his right boot: between the challenging Kelly and Lerma of Bournemouth in 2022.

Free-kicks: like the one whipped over the leaping Leicester wall past Ward in 2022. Penalties: past keepers of the elite calibre of Courtois and Alisson, although the Liverpool man did deny him once in 2020. Constant intelligent positioning: not rushing into a congested Leicester area in 2017, just waiting and taking the ball played back out on his right foot, sliding it on to his left, too quick for Albrighton and beating Kasper Schmeichel low from 20 yards.

As that goal showed, KDB lethal with either foot: 23 of his 70 PL goals came with his supposedly “lesser” foot, his left. Another left-footed gem past Leeds’ Meslier in 2021. He's two-footed. 46 of his PL goals came with his right, and that one header at the Amex last year, almost a flying Van Persie-style World Cup special.

And that legendary KDB creativity: only Giggs has more PL assists (162/118). Master of the slide-rule pass through the middle: for Haaland to run through to score against West Ham in 2022. Pinpoint crossing for Haaland: the ball placed behind Manchester United’s Varane and perfectly for Haaland in 2022; eluding Digne and lifting the ball to the far-post for Haaland at Villa Park the same year.

Innovation: shaping to flight a free-kick to the far-post, then tricking Burnley’s defence by slipping ball down the inside-right channel for Alvarez to score last year. And vision: picking out Sane’s run with four Stoke players in the way in 2017; often hailed as his greatest pass at City. What memories, what a player. He’s 33, and injuries stalk him, but good luck to KDB and his family wherever he takes his special talent next. The Premier League will miss him. #MCFC
