Nicky Summerbee is not everyone's cup of tea.

The City midfielder has endured a love-hate relationship with sections

of the crowd since his arrival at the start of the season.

Some ill feeling dates back to Summerbee rejecting the club earlier in

his career. Then there was also a spat with away fans at Crewe in

October for which he apologised.

Summerbee, whose laid-back manner can be mistaken for not giving

everything to the cause, is adapting well to a more central role and

produced arguably his best City performance last week. But he accepts

there will still be some supporters who will never be pleased.

"I've had that everywhere," he said. "People read a lot of different

things into the way I am. I had it at Sunderland when I first went there

and Man City in the end."
