Whatever City game I've been to, and I've been to over a thousand, my first thought, always, as the teams kicked off was this: I want us to win. Always. Anything and everything else was/is/will be a bonus. Give me winning over anything else. Anything.I feel for those who don't appreciate what it is/was to be a City fan. It's so much more than winning/losing but that seems to be lost on many these days.

Amen to that.Whilst appreciating the depth of emotion in your well intentioned sentiment, things have changed beyond any comprehension and I for one have embraced this complete sea change in the fortunes, culture and expectations of my club, Manchester City FC.
We stood behind the shop of the master butcher for decades waiting for scraps from his cutting board. I don't miss that and never will.
We are now longer window shopping in the basement at Kendalls looking as suits we cant afford ( I know there are no windows in the basement...)
City are sat at the top table and the name of the game is winning titles.
Thanks mate
If Mbappe turns down Madrid for the 'lure of Guardiola' he will a) need certifying and b) be at Madrid in 2-3 years anyway
Winning is great, I started going in the mid eighties as a 7 year old and spent my first three decades seeing us go from one shite season to another whilst utd won the lot. It shaped me as a blue and I'm grateful I went through those times as it means I appreciate the good times even more.Whatever City game I've been to, and I've been to over a thousand, my first thought, always, as the teams kicked off was this: I want us to win.

Fair enough, I get that. I'd happily watch us win 1-0 in every single game for the rest of my life. All those fucking defeats have taken their toll!Winning is great, I started going in the mid eighties as a 7 year old and spent my first three decades seeing us go from one shite season to another whilst utd won the lot.

I'm just not a win at all costs type of guy though.
Hence 'pretty much every'. And our stadium expansion was paid for direct from Abu Dhabi, nothing to do with our profit or turnover, so effectively the same deal. We don't have to pay it back, but Madrid's turnover is a lot higher, so in terms of spending power of planes, little in it but they haven't already spent £200mExcept us.
