This thread has turned into an interesting insight into human phsycology and confirmation bias.
Every time I turn the telly or radio onto a football show everybody is talking about City. For the first time in the club's history the entire world's football media are raving about us and how good we are.
Yet still people find weird little corners of the media where they can take offence.
It runs right through the forum. Small minded indignation and offence taken at every turn. All other teams are shit and there should be a rule about how they are allowed to play. They should take us on and get beat 5 because football is now about entertainment not about winning, apparently!
I wonder how much shit Pep would be getting if we’d just lost 4 on the trot 4-3 and they were described as 4 of the best games ever? I expect BM would be unanimous in its joy at the entertainment on offer, or maybe not!
Away fans being a bit pissed off losing a game in the 5th minute of injury time, who’d have thought that? I was still buzzing about Raheem’s goal on Friday morning and not in the least bit interested in what 1 or 2 keyboard warriors from Southampton thought.
Moyes turning up and being defensive. Christ, the bloke did that when we were shit, so he’s certainly not going to change now.
It’s almost like a lot of posters struggle with the concept of having an absolutely top team, capable of winning games in a variety of ways, against a variety of opponents. 20 successive wins and 13 consecutive PL wins would go some way to supporting that assertion.
I’ve been going to City for over 35 years and this is, without doubt, the most exciting team we’ve ever put out. I’m just enjoying the ride and hoping it all ends in a trophy or 2. But, however it ends, this manager we have is making me revisit all I thought I knew about football and how it should be played and I, for one, will just enjoy the ride....
