Weirdo.

Is it becoming a crime on here to have an opinion?
Have I said sack the manager, Fernando is out of his depth? No I said we lost because we were complacent, and that the mentality of Champions is important because it's typically a weakness of Champions evidenced by the no. of times the Premiership has been retained

I shattered my hand punching a wall after we went out of the FA cup in 11/12, that's a far worse reaction, does that make me a "weirdo"?ManCityX said:Imagine acting like Marvin after losing one game and when that one game was a friendly.

And if you go back to the start of the thread and look at who was the first person to tell Marvin to calm down?ManCityX said:aguero93:20 said:No he's not, he's passionate and wants to see us win every game, same as most.

Losing a competitive game to United in the middle of the season is ever so slightly different to losing a friendly where we played a team that was missing 6 regulars and featured a defender that wasn't good enough for Bolton.
Teams lose games. We lost one. Luckily it doesn't impact our season.
But Champions are by definition one of the best teams and should be in contention. Ferguson knew how to win and for him this was the biggest issue when a season started.citizen_maine said:Marvin said:Acting like what?ManCityX said:Imagine acting like Marvin after losing one game and when that one game was a friendly.

So its nothing to do with it being difficult to win in the first place?

There's too much name calling etc on here, you're having a personal pop at him for being passionate, wind your neck in.

"VK was atrocious in pre season two years ago, especially in the CS. I seem to remember he had an ok season.
The same fitness issues were also raised after the CS defeat in 2011. Those concerns also turned out to be groundless. Its completely misleading to make judgements on fitness levels based on pre season friendlies. The players don't prepare for them like league matches. They don't taper the training to be fresh on the day of the match. They will train hard the day before the match. Apparently Spurs had a full training session on the morning of their game against Sunderland.
City's first league game kicks off two days after Arsenal's. That fact alone will make a difference in the sharpness and apparent fitness of the two teams."
City went on to win the league and the league cup, as well as get to the quarter finals of the FA Cup and make the KO stages of the CL for the first time ever.
