europa cup

Every competition is worth winning. That's not to say I want to play a full strength team, but I don't want to finish bottom of the group. It had no impact on us last season.

We wouldn't have won the league if we had ended up going all the way to the final - in my opinion. The team would have been mixed up over the last six games. We may have even targeted Europe above what seemed like a lost cause.

For me, that is why I'm not arsed about reaching the Europa League. If it costs us so much as a single point then it could lose us the league. Is it worth the risk? one thing is for sure, travelling and extra games will not have a positive effect on the most important part of this season.
 
see the empty seats at newcastle and anfield imagine the uproar if that was city
 
We are dogshit in Europe. 3 wins in 11 in CL, 2 against a relegated Spanish side and one against Munich reserves.

Exits in Europa to Kiev and sporting Lisbon.

We won't win in Dortmund so lets just concentrate on beating everton and united.

I couldn't give a shit who plays in Germany and I'm going!!

It was always a bit of a myth, a legend. The blind and loyal passion that City fans have for their team. No matter how crap it was, no matter how brutal the heartbreak after a false dawn would be. Four years ago a bunch of incredibly wealthy people looked at our club and figured they fancied a bit of that. They fancied a bit of ambitious project, like. Winning stuff, signing magnificent players, expanding the club's ambition and completely revamping the vision of the support. What she said - We dream to wear the shirt, God chose You, play as WE dream. And less than 5 years into the journey there are people who would much rather tank the Europe League cos it's a Donald Duck Cup for a shower of sh!te. Right. All those shiny cups in our trophy cabinet underline how we as a club are miles above the misery of playing Dynamo Kiev (who have more European trophies in their cabinet) and Sporting Lisbon (who have won the exact same number as us). Wow. Some might even be all in for sacking Mancio, the man who has done an unbelieveable job under pressure, won things that we could only dream of.

All I know is that if we do qualify for the lesser, unglamarous cup, I would freaking sing like a loon if we go on and win the thing. City winning in Europe. A trophy. If you could ask me that ten years ago - I would smash you in the nuts for winding me up. Ajax a poor side, Madrid not good enough. Yeah right.

I feel priviledged and lucky to witness the club that once positioned Goater and Dickov (love both to bits) as genuine stars, since they were the best we could get. And now just because someone will be taken a mickey off on the net, we have to flush this tourno. How things change.

Lads who will go to Dortmund - sing your hearts out. It will be the beginning of our journey to Amsterdam. Winning the damn thing in a city that is home to one of the greatest football clubs in the world. Another step towards the dream. The dream of seeing a club that owes so much to its amazing fans. The dream of becoming the kings of Europe.

Anyone who whines and complains should just watch that game at Wembley in 1999 and then recall how the beloved rags did that same year. Will put things into perspective.

City till I die. Bring on the Cup that clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Inter, Juventus, Ajax, Liverpool and Valencia did not find embarassing to win.

Love this. I'm in
 
Some cracking away trips in the Europa if we get through. Potential to visit Prague, Plzen, Bordeaux, Madrid again, Hannover. Great for those who like beer or wine! Personally I have enjoyed Europa League aways much more than the "plastic" experience of the Chimps league. Atmospheres in Poznan, Porto, and Aris much better than Bayern or Madrid. We should just enjoy the City rollercoaster wherever it takes us.
