Indeed 'The Time's They Are A Changing.

[Bill]

the semi-final last year was the defining moment of our recent history

i really don't get why people are being so nervy about what is happening, i'm enjoying this ride more than anything and its far superior to worrying about relegation
we go into games, certainly at home, expecting to win and we've never done that before

what's the worse thing that can happen, we don't win the league, well we haven't done that for 44 years, so another year won't matter
whatever happens between now and the end its been a fantastic season and we are going to finish way above the Sky 4

spot on.

True again,but we need this title this season for me,its so close we can almost smell it,lets get this furst un out of the way,then take it all by storm !!

The first one is the hardest or so they say. Win it this year and it will be a huge bonus. Wait till next year when we get even better.

The week after the boro 8-1 I watched the champions league final in the pub when united won on penalties. As I walked out of the pub with united fans going crazy all around me I seriously questioned myself. What is the point of putting my heart on the line week in week out. Even watching city in division 2 and losing to Wycombe I hadn't felt that low before.
We were in millions of pounds of debt, our team had a "don't give a shit" attitude in the last few games and I was sick of united winning everything.
Never in my dreams that night would I think we would be where we are today. We are all in danger of taking our current situation for granted. I know I won't. I am loving every minute and our patience is being repaid. The united game at wembley was immense and I agree, it was a "massive" turning point.

There we all were on Saturday night, all eight of us, celebrating another City victory with a curry in Audenshaw (Balti Chicken Garlic was lovely) and discussing how we was going to celebrate winning the title.

The thought of it is just complete madness!

Only four years ago we walked out of the Riverside Stadium having been thumped 8-1 by Middlesbrough with a young Adam Johnson scoring one of their goals. It was the final game of the season and the final game for Sven as once again we chopped and changed managers. How crazy does it seem that less than four years later and Adam Johnson is on the verge of collecting a Premiership Winners medal for the team he helped to humble that day.

The thought of it is just complete madness!

On Saturday night we discussed the Gillingham game, it was epic and I will never forget the feeling on the tube from Wembley back into London after the game. It was as though we had lost, everyone was silent with a look of shock on their faces and shattererd with the experience of the afternoon. A season of hard work and hope was slipping away and it was dawning on all of us with City at 2-0 down of what was to come. Looking back it was the sheer relief and the letting out of tension, frustration, fears and exhiliration of that day and it's those moments that will make our future success all the more special and all the more valued. We are City fans, we've been through it and we take nothing for granted.

I've no doubt in the coming years last season's semi final victory over United will be considered to be a changing point in our's and their history. Yes we still had to beat Stoke to win the cup but it was, without doubt for me and many others quite simply the perfect day. If I could re-live any game again it would be that one. Far more important than just the result alone it rid us of so many demons, it gave Manchester City as a club the self belief, it confirmed the manager and the players had the ability, and it gave us the fans the hope to believe again. After too many years of humiliation, failure and let downs this club, our club, the club that we'd never given up on was begining to stir again.

I never expected us to challenge for the title this season, next year yes, but we've gelled remarkably quick and its a testament to Mancini and his players to the position we are in and have been all season. So far it's been exciting but it's becoming all the more nervous as games run out. I used to think relegation was bad, this is far worse, yet it's something we are all going to have to become accustomed to because we are not going away anytime soon. Boys and girls this is the new City, this is how it's going to be from now on every season.

Back to the Curryhouse and saturday night and will we do it and how will we celebrate? We agreed to just enjoy the ride and worry about that in May, its not in a City fans makeup to discuss such things.

Indeed 'the time's they are a changing'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Great post. Nice one Blue.

Yeah, 8-1 - but MCFC had the best goal of the nine! Pity we couldn't hang onto Elano.
