I think its safe to say that.....

[Denis Law Back Heel]

That the "typical city" mind set has now gone. Any one agree or did it go a long time ago?

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Well, I doubt we'll have too many "I'll just be happy when we get to 40 points" posts this season....

 

[Bluemoon115]

If we get one point, just one, off Everton this season, it'll be gone.

 

[LoveCity]

For me the end of last season seemed to obliterate it. The chain of events that saw us beat the rags in the semis, seal 4th a week before Cup final over Spurs, win the Cup, then snatch 3rd from Arsenal. Before, all of those would have been messed up and we'd have been laughed at. ;)

For me, it went this season when there were a few 'typical City' moments when we actually did what was required. The cup run generally where we avoided a number of banana skins, the semi, the Spurs game, the final, beating Stoke a few days later then finishing third.

There will be.

Maybe in jest, but there's always one.

Plus it's a good excuse for a piss up.

Followed by one when we're mathematically safe.

It'll never go away fully.

I Like this idea, and shall be adopting it for next season :)

without the odd typical city moment i will miss them i mean it`s our isteree lol

 

[TCIB]

Yes, it's a different feeling now. I can't really explain it well in words.
Just i guess you would have to call it self assurance. I trust Mancini implicitly, bar the bad eggs Mancini wants to get rid of already i trust the team also.
Cash ! they earn a lot yeah but so far they have shown nothing but grit and determination to succeed, and delivered so far.

 

[goat boy]

wembley, playing the rags. long pass gets deflected, hits aguero and bounces off his knee. big joe wrong-footed. ball trickles in.

There's time yet ;o/

 

[southern muppet]

It died when we not only achieved but exceeded our league target last season (without any real last minute dramas or frantically lunging over the finish line) but won a trophy, outclassing and beating the rags on the way.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

'Typical City' will only be gone once people stop asking if it's gone.

It's a psychological barrier involving everybody, including our support. As long as that element of doubt remains in the heads of our fans then the players are capable of picking up on the tension.

One egg does not make an omelette but with consistancy it will disapear

Was about to say this, it's not just after you win or lose a game. It's during the match itself when you think "3 more goals and we've got this in the bag" after being 2-0 up. It obviously affects people who have seen City growing up, new fans I don't think will understand the statement unless they really plunge in to the City ethos.

I remember when we watched the semi final game, even though we completely dominated the rags and I was aware of that, I remember thinking after Scholes got sent off that it makes them more dangerous like a wounded animal...when in actual fact they just died on their ass. Typical City thinking.

 

[Sigh]

It'll never go away fully.

Lead the way then.

The game against Los Angeles had typical City written all over, espcially given they were around knocking them in against all and sundry.

It's over for me. Enough with it.

 

[Jordie]

I think it has gone within the club but there are still, probably a minority of fans that are pessimistic by nature and are constantly waiting for something to go wrong.

I, on the other hand am too optimistic. I used to tell people Samaras would come good ha ha.

 

[The Pink Panther]

We dumped the typical tag after the Tottenham defeat and they snatched 4th place.
We underperformed that night in the biggest match our club had been in for years.
You could see in the climax to last season how much our players wanted it and how determined they were not to fail

This says it all but this week in work I overheard a vermin season ticket holder who used to say we would never win anything (last year) saying City are definately in the top three this season.
