I still think we will win the league

[waspish]

Leicester not read the script.

They have nothing to lose. No real pressure on them until the last few games. Could be out of sight by then with the fixtures they have.

If they hold on it will haven been a good couple of days for them.

Yeah they still doing what they've been doing all season but early days yet! 5 games to if we are 5 to 8 behind them I believes we will win it.

Why were we 8 points behind with 6 games to go if we were that good then. That was arguably a worse situation than we are in now. You can never say never in football. There is no joy left in football if you make a judgement on a team, conclude that it's crap and take your ball home for the rest of the season to wait for the management change. What makes the game what it is is the hope and the knowledge that things can turn round at any moment. Who thought we would be in this situation when at the beginning of the season we went 5 games without defeat and people on here were thinking we were going to be champions by February. Who thought we were going to win the league in 2012 as we went into injury time in the final game needing to win, 1 goal behind. How many heard the roar of Aguero's goal from outside the stadium because they had already made the judgement that we could never win it from that position, and left. Teams can take unexpected wins and defeats and turn the race on it's head. I and many like me harbour that hope backed by recent events, and until it becomes mathematically impossible we continue to watch, hope and expect things will turn round. If they do great, it's been a great season. If they don't then we have had the enjoyment of following our team to wherever it has taken us and it's still been a great season and we look to improve in the next season.
What the flappers are essentially doing is sucking the life out of the very thing that makes football and all sport so enjoyable to watch and follow i.e the hope of prevailing against overwhelming odds and succeeding in adversity without which, watching and following sport would be boring as fuck.
The flappers may have metaphorically left the stadium with 15 minutes to go "to avoid the traffic". Please excuse us if we refuse to leave until the final whistle has blown.

That is a bit tough on people who lose faith. By thinking in 2012 we had blown it by trailing United by eight points and then thinking we had blown it against QPR when 2-1 down made the victory all the more sweet. Thinking this way certainly does not suck the life out of a situation. It is a natural emotion for something you care so much about.

Fucking great post. We ARE Man City and we fight to the end.

I'm not saying anyone did. Just that we are left again needing a fuck up. We have a 50/50 success rate.

Next time there is an athletics meeting on the telly, just watch a medium to long distance track race. Just take note of how each of the runners run their race, make a note of their relative placings at different points in the race and see who wins and who loses. You will get your answer right there.

Mate I was there and I didn't leave. The situation wasn't worse. It's not flapping I honestly wonder what team some on here have been watching. We have been poor all year. In 2012 we had a hunger as it was our first title. That's not evident any more mate. We also had more guts de Jong, Barry, tevez, gave us that.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

It's like a 3 mile horse race at the moment in a 5 horse race anyone could win it and you wouldn't rule any team out. The fixtures for Spurs Arsenal and Leicester look hard we have the upper hand there gonna go to the wire is my opinion.

Hell of a lot of teams have nothing to play for at this stage of the season , we never used to have that luxury , we were either fighting relegation of trying for promotion for donkeys years , so at least we have upgraded to titles and champs league progression ,it might all turn to shit in the next few weeks , but i have a sneaking feeling vinny will have us hunting in one of the competitions until May , not sure which , but it beats doing somersaults when we used to get to 40 pts.

You'd think they'd learn after it had happened a few times though,wouldn't you, and it's not just that they lose faith, They get evangelistic about it to the point of slagging off the team, players, management and anybody else they feel has let their beloved club down to the extent that they have only won 5 trophies in 5 years. I even remember one poster calling for Khaldoon to be fucked off ffs.

Thanks for your reply and I'm sure you've got a great memory, and you are a much better football strategist than I could ever hope to be, but you know as much or as little, about what is going to happen till the end of the season, as the next man.

I think many people say it to resign themselves to the fact so they will not be disappointed. I think we have had a poor league season but think we will win it as these players have to click at some point. But yes you have a point, we certainly have a history of doing things the hard way.
