2019 or 2022?

[Gingers Dad]

I dont enjoy the close run ins as they are happening, i actually find them really stressful. Pathetic i know.
But the feeling of aguerooooo, or the Komps goal or the gundo comeback is a feeling like NOTHING else in life.
So it makes the stress worth it in the end.
im still buzzing about the villa game.

when we won it by a million points it brings its own smug enjoyment but not the euphoric high.

im dreading the low of the year we dont ‘find a way’

On the MotD coverage of the QPR game the commentator says something like they have to endure the pain before they get the glory, Manchester City always seem to do things the hard way

I would be lying if I said I enjoyed either until after the final whistle was blown. Although the 20 mins at Brighton was a stroll.
2019 was easier to deal with the pressure of the run in because we had chased the lead down. 2022 was about us failing and the glory of the Dippers.
The thought of us giving up what looked like a huge lead and those fckers winning all four trophies nearly made me physically sick. Especially when we were 2 nil in both of the last two games.
I think the Dippers would have gone on to win the CL if they'd won the Prem.
I've looked up denouement and I'm still not sure I know what it means

Madrid were winning that final no matter what.

They’re just unstoppable in Europe. Hats off to them.

2019 was the better run-in for me but 2022 was the better final day climax. We were only in trouble very briefly in the Brighton game but we virtually needed snookers against Villa the other week!

Obviously there's no argument to that. I just think the Dippers looked knackered by half time in the final and part of that was due to how the Prem season had gone

The absolute stress of 2019 made the outcome so special. I couldn’t enjoy that 14 match winning run, because each win was followed immediately by worry about the next game. However, to win the League, at home, after being 2-0 down on 75 minutes has to take some beating.

Both great achievements and to be fair Liverpool were very good as well to keep us on our toes. For me 2019 was better for the reasons others have already stated.

All we need now is that 'lucky' touch in the CL.

 

[East Level 2]

2019 for me.
Glorious weather, seats right behind the goal and we were 2-1 up within a few minutes of going one down.
Once Mahrez got our third it was party time in the stands.
And we'd had that glorious run of victories to keep us a point ahead of Liverpool for the final three months.
2022 was also great, but the only reasons it could be considered better are that more blues saw the trophy clinched in the flesh, and it popped Liverpool's bubble at a time when the press were going overboard with the cock-sucking. The celebrations at full time were similar to 2012, but so were the stress levels.

The fact we disappointed the media both times makes them hard to seperate , the Dippers were considered the mentality monsters on both occasions but failed miserably to win either , if i was pushed to pick i would choose 2019 because we reeled the Dippers in around Xmas and never let them back into it , 2022 we blew an eight point lead (14 points if you believe the bullshit) and nearly cocked it up on the last day.
The Dippers might be the mentality monsters but they are second best to us , the mentality maestro's.

2019. We were just a winning machine.

Something that people aren't really taking account of, and which makes 2019 edge it over 2022 for me, is Vin's goal against Leicester. Could anything have reached a higher degree of perfection than that? With nobody wanting him to shoot, and him just saying, “Ah fuck it, I know what I'm doing, take this everybody”. And the fact that he knew that he was leaving just takes it to another level. As a single goal, it's not far off the Aguero moment for me.

2019 run in was far more stressfull than 2022's. That weekend when they beat Newcastle on the Saturday, then we had to wait till Monday to play Leicester was bloody awful. Then the stress increased tenfold during the match until Kompany did his thing!

As a follow up to my previous post, here's why:




That look!

2019, without a doubt. Take away the manner of the win against Villa, and we weren't that brilliant in the last 10 or so games of this season (indeed, for 75 minutes we were poor against Villa). But we got the job done. 3 years ago, we were relentless and ruthless. And we played better in that run in than we did this time.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Chasing down and winning, including the Liverpool game in January, was much more fun. Having a lead chipped away at and surviving is satisfying in its own right, but it never really felt that knife edge for me at least until Coutinho scored his second. That five minutes only slightly topped by 99 and 12 for absolute madness and pure sporting pleasure for me. Both very special in their own way.

 

[Octavian]

2019 was a far better achievement and imo a better City team.

The last game of the season was really good too but 2022 to do it at home, having been 2-0 down with 15 to go. The celebration in the stadium, with all the noise about the scousers, I dunno I just enjoyed the final day a lot more.

It's mad that we've not been on the bad end of one yet, I really thought this was going to be the year when Villa scored their second. Like you say, at some point you've got to lose one.

including the Liverpool game in January

That game was simply monstrous. It was Frazier and Ali at their height.

In my opinion it is the best technical and tactical game of football ever played in English football. I still can't believe both teams came out and performed like they did and as bravely as they did. Just unreal.

Don't forget that Burnley game as well. As tough a game as football as I've ever watched. Didn't enjoy a second of it.

It was an incredible game of football to witness. And what an atmosphere.
