we should, in a funny old way, be thanking the detractors. if it wasn't for all the constant negativity and belittling of our team and club, i don't think we would have been as successful as we have been. the players have been overlooked for awards, their performances have been under-reported and under-appreciated. this has spurred on the team to prove themselves like nothing else could (even media contrived spats with other managers).
the vitriol that heads in our direction from most media outlets, and fans of other clubs, has been nothing short of bullying on a national scale. the negativity or simple ambivalence around anything the club achieve or do for the local, national, and international football scene is unprecedented.
this club have raised the quality of football in this country to new heights. the style of play has been accepted and incorporated into most teams throughout the whole of the British football league divisions, not just the premier league. detractors said it couldn't be done in Britain, but the change has been astounding. even pub teams are playing in the Pep/City "style".
Liverpool should be on their knees thanking City for their performances these last few seasons. they are the only team who have risen to the challenge, and 1000% they would not be winning the league this year if it wasn't for Pep being down the road playing the football he is.
the fact that we are pilloried, for being the catalyst to a new exciting era for football in this country, shows just how backward thinking and entrenched the old guard are. comical to think, that they think, they will stop this MCFC steam roller from razing everything in our path, because, ban or not, we are going fucking nowhere for a long time!!!!
