Yeah i agree with all of that. I was more thinking will having Haaland stop us having those mad 5 minutes or could we have been further ahead by that time in the madrid game. As far as fans go how many will start to come just to get the chance to see him and say they saw him play for this brilliant team. A bit like Messi, Van basten etc.Hang on just a minute. Yes Alfies lad is good but he isn't everything. If he got injured tomorrow and was out for a lengthy time we would carry on being great. A stupid 5 minutes in Madrid meant we missed out on back to back finals in the Corrupt Cup. We are brilliant with or without Alfies lad. The media will tell you otherwise but what do they know.
They won it 5 years on the bounce in the 50's but had a 32 years champs league barren spell from '66. I hope peps goal before he leaves City is to catch Reals record.So,it was more a jibe that United are considered European royalty but we could match their European cups in 5 or so years if everything goes smoothly, Chelsea are one behind having played less in Europe and Forrest are one behind despite not being in Europe for over 3 decades.
Were not catching real
I was only really asking the question if and when. I don't think most City fans by nature are 'Raggy' or display their traits. The recent financial results certainly point to City becoming top dog in the UK and maybe worldwide if the growth continues.This thread has the ability to become very Raggy very quickly.
I think humility is a vastly underrated trait amongst football fans…especially those who support a team doing very well at the moment.
Having lived through “the dark years,” it would be very easy to become glib and arrogant over the Mansour era to date, and extrapolate it out in away that greatly overstated ACTUAL achievements to date.
Like Pep, I like to enjoy the performances. From excellent performances victories and glory often develop. One step at a time.

Seems i should have posted all the lyrics for some to catch on.....I think you're mad, too unstable.
I wind my rag mate up telling him 3 yrs from May we could have as many CLs as you do. Winning one has proved hard enough let alone 3 on the bounce but we’re the favourites this year and barring a seismic shift we’ll be favourites next year and the year after too. Stranger things have happened.So Erling Haaland is turning into a pretty good buy for City. Reports today suggest no release clause for him to leave for Madrid.
So it got me thinking if we can keep him for an extended period can we become Europes top club for a while. Can we match Munich, Madrid, Barca, Livarpool, Milan and Man Yoo in stature and trophies. Are we well on the way? Domestically i don't doubt it. A huge turnout last night for a wet and windy smaller European game. How many more match going fans have we added since Erling came and is it a good idea to get the stadium expansion moving quickly? I think we are well on the way and anyone at the club will probably say one step at a time. Up the blues.
