It's been a few years since I have followed this forum closely...but pre-derby excitement got the better of me - particularly given the fact that I'm at work! I must say that I am pretty shocked at some of the comments. Being a City fan has always been about self-depreciating humour and...

That's no thrush fella, that's a starling.

There is a thread for the Sterling speculation mate

I came over to NZ with the family in 2004 shortly after the move to the Etihad. Had season tickets with my two lads from the Howard Kendall era right through us emigrating. Can't believe what's happened to City since Sheik Mansoor has taken over. I remember reading about the first days of the...

Absolute quality!

Actually it's "you're welcome"

Re: Discuss Pellegrini (Pt 3) Pants should stay in until he either desrves to dropped through a mistake or Hart deserves his place back due to better performances in training. Dropping Joe proves Pellers picks on form not reputation. If all our players take this on board then we will be all...

If in fact Pellers does drop Joe then it sends a huge message to the whole squad that he has no favourites and everyone has to do the business if they want to keep their place. It won't do Joe any harm harm to step out of the limelight for a few games and it will give the manager huge respect in...

Loads of posts on Twatter saying we've triggered his buy out clause.

Add Silva to that list and you're spot on

Dead fuckin right mate

Yaya was the key signing - this shows that. He can play a deeper holding role for sure, but we may actually get the best from him with a bit more (box-to-box) freedom. Remeber we signed Foe who was OK at the holding role, but when we played him in a more advanced role, we got the best results...

I think we'll win 1-0...think we're due a bit of luck!!!!

haha. It will all come in time mate - just don't expect us to be totally consistent in the short-term...we're just getting on our feet! And to be honest...I dont give a shit who takes us seriously...some of my proudest City memories are when getting humiliated away from home (in darker days...

top post for me. Was just saying on another thread that it's about creating a winning mentality around the club as a whole - which unfortunately takes time. Big names will come with a winning mentality - but that has to be transfered and built up to create an atmosphere around the whole...

haha...more then enough time!!!

I agree with the quality part...but so much of football, as with any sport, is about having a better winning mentality. This is something you can see with that mob - the way they come from behind and get draws/wins. We are some way short of that kind of deep-running self-belief...largely due...

It's just hope for me really...we are clearly, and rightly underdogs for the semi - I think I'd be more confident if it were just one leg. But as City fans - we've lived on hope for so long rather than expectancy - it's hard to change. Also, it's early days into our revival yet - we cant...

It's really just a sign of the success they've enjoyed (unfortunately)...and the fact that the "top 4" play their "kids" (although that is arguable in the rags' case) is a sign of the domination they've had as a group on the league, fa cup (to an extent) and mainly on the Champs league spots...

I think his true test his yet to come. When he has everyone fit - who to pick against each team. Not just how to pick a winning team, but also how to manage the characters that are left out. There have been a few things said on here (in training reports from NMT i think) that the current fit...
