We will drop off but I can't see it being too drastic. We was winning leagues and cups prior to Pep. We may not be dominant but I think we will certainly be competitive.The only way is down after what we've achieved. Luckily, we've been there and I have great memories of it. Maybe I'm a masochist, but I feel we'll cope with the sense of humour we have.
Don't get me wrong, I want us to stay at the top.. but we all know one day..
Which games do we all turn up and cheer the lads on? Maybe Madrid in the CL semi final 18 months ago. Arsenal at home the same season?Doing your own whole thread on the subject is quite entitled you could say.
Expectations have changed, we are the best run club in the world, with the best manager in the world with many of the best players in the world. It is not an entitlement that we have a right to win every game, we have lost a lot over the years being unlucky and underserving of it. At the moment we are fluking wins we don't deserve and losing games we deserve to lose. That is hard to take being the club we are, we shouldn't ever be outfought or a team "wanting it more" that is unacceptable and gone are the days of us simply hoping we just turn up for games. We get behind the team at games, we then may discuss on places like here and social media our real thoughts. The owners won't be happy with our performances of late, I doubt they say never mind, this club was in Division 2 25 years ago. They have expectations as us fans do. We absolutely still show up at games, cheer the boys on and support them through the good and bad. It doesn't make them immune from criticism outside of the stadium though.
If you aren't happy with people expressing their opinions about City then I would say avoid a city supporters football forum.
The support at home games in particular is shite 80% of the time.Which games do we all turn up and cheer the lads on? Maybe Madrid in the CL semi final 18 months ago. Arsenal at home the same season?
We don’t have the right to win every game if you believe in the underpinning principles of sport. Bournemouth scored twice and we notched once. That’s life and sport!
Never mind social media, some of the utter tripe I've read on here in the last week or two has been mental.Where do I start with this one?
We’ve had untold success that we are unlikely to ever repeat.
We’ve broken countless records.
We’ve seen the best ever Premier league team, indeed football league team with a four peat.
Treble winners, Centurions, the list goes on.
Top scoring premier league player.
Goalkeeper with the most golden glove awards.
A midfielder winning Balon D’Or.
Yet some of our fan base has become the epitome of everything we mocked our neighbours for. I’m not an avid social media user but my lad has shown me some of the nonsense being posted. Some absolute tools out there. We don’t need them, don’t want them and I’m fed up of these ridiculous comments, ‘expectations have changed’, ‘don’t keep dwelling on the past’, ‘you need to keep improving’, blah, blah, blah.
‘Influencers’ put them in the bin.
‘You tubers’ majority of them, put them in the bin.
I’ve seen the good, the bad and the downright bloody ugly.
And I’ll tell you what, I won’t slag my manager or team off after a couple of iffy results.
Get a bloody grip. Get behind the team, do exactly what you’re professing to be, a supporter, in good times and bad times and we’ve seen plenty of those.
So many threads, on here, with very entitled posts. Yes, we’re all allowed to have differing opinions but just a sense of perspective would be appreciated at times.
Certainly from those of us that are a little longer in the tooth. It’s old fashioned I know, probably will get a pile on for it but hey, just felt it needed saying.
Come on you blues.

I would like to think that we are now far too big and well run to return to the 90’s / 00’s version of city .. at least not in my lifetime anywayThe only way is down after what we've achieved.

Maybe the Guy/Gal from Okinawa etc is filming it as a memento of the one and only trip to Manchester they will make in their entire life -which for many it no doubt is.Cunts drive me nuts when all the phones come out and they start videoing some shit or other as soon as we’ve kicked off. Here’s an idea, I appreciate you’re buzzing to be here, but watch the fucking game.
