Off RAWK.....Cringe
Dropped my middle one (aged 12) to the school bus this morning, and on the way I said to him "what do you reckon for City tonight then" ? He turns straight back to me and says "they'll probably win, and win again on Sunday, seriously dad our chance has gone I reckon"
Cue me beginning the 'believe' speech trying to talk him round.
He stopped me dead and says
"I do believe dad, i've always believed. I've just spent the last 2 months HONESTLY believing that we're going to be Champions. Beginning of every season you tell me we're going to have a good season, and I believe you because like you always tell me, we used to win things all the time, you've seen the reds do it and you know what it feels like. Grandad does the same, he always tells me that we're one of the greatest clubs in the world, and we're good enough to win things. The difference is this time, I've seen why now. Up to now i've seen us win the Carling Cup and beat Everton at Wembley but we haven't really won much else and I can't remember beating West Ham in the FA Cup. But, honestly dad, REALLY believing that we're going to be Champions for the last couple of months has been boss, i'd love us to nick it on Sunday, but if we don't we'll do it next year, I HONESTLY believe that now. We are getting there early for the bus again on Sunday aren't we,we ought to you know ?"
"You're dead right we are son"
