Ask me on Thursday morning.
Fuck Pearce. That was all Beanie and Mpenza.We always had a good chance if winning stuff if we were in with a shout, the problem was if we were struggling to avoid relegation in the last few games of any season we always were relegated.
Stuart Pearce for all the horrible football that he delivered, did actually break this trend FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MCFC HISTORY.
Things got pretty hairy in 2003/4 until we beat Newcastle at home iirc.We always had a good chance if winning stuff if we were in with a shout, the problem was if we were struggling to avoid relegation in the last few games of any season we always were relegated.

Hairy, yes, but we were never in a relegation spot. We were under Pearce.Things got pretty hairy in 2003/4 until we beat Newcastle at home iirc.
When did we win at the Nou Camp?For me, Mancini changed the mentality of the club. He gave us the foundation of mental strength that we see today. In the league.
Pep touched on this a lot in the champions league, we need the experience of big games in Europe, the wins at the bernabau the alliance, the camp nou. When it matters. The semi finals and finals. Build our experience and our mentality. The madrids, dippers etc have that in their locker, us not so much.
When we eventually win this, this year or next etc, the mentality will be immense in this competition and as we’ve seen in the league so many times it’s a powerful thing to have.
This could be the shortest thread in bluemoon history due to my shite memory but from the aguero season have we ever not got it done in the business end of the season?
8 points behind and have to win every game including the rags? Easy..
Liverpool win every week so we have to? No problemo
Have to win the last game of the season? Win every time.
Miles behind after the half way point? Just go on a mad run.
Have we ever failed when still in the running at the business end of the season. I thought this season we may fall short and then we just decided to win every fucking game.
What team has managed to be so fucking good at a time when mere mortals shit their pants?
