That would make a nice banner

We're better than they are. Simples. They know it and don't like it, hence the noise. We are now getting very close to that tipping point we've all hoped for, began to expect when we won the Cup then the League and sometimes also probably doubted would ever really happen since that glorious Monday in September 2008. The moment when City are THE dominant force in the domestic game, closely followed by the European game and then those pointless world club cup matches (if that's what they're called) that have the feel of a glorified Community Shield with none of the benefit to the community.
Our time has come. At last. If you, like me remember the days of Swailes... Luton Town '83... the days of no money and no hope... the Forward (but more backward) with Franny days... the days we would weep over our collective cornflakes as one incompetent manager after another swept in with promises of glory to be promptly swept out along with their brand of shite football and relegation blues... the days when players would state their desire to "walk to Maine Road to play for City" and would then somehow stop at Villa Park or wherever and play there instead... the days when the few hero's we had like Rosler or the Goat were celebrated on the terraces because, regardless of how they might sometimes fall short, they died for the shirt and were all we had.... the days away at York and Lincoln.... the half-season failure to score a single goal at home (and how little time ago was that?)... all that crap and scorn and laughter poured on us by our rag 'neighbours' and their endless toadying mates in the press from the minute they first lifted the Premiership trophy just as were were starting to implode... again... the days when the derby was our cup final, and we usually lost anyway....
If you like me remember these things and all the other bad, mad and sad days following out great club, then like me you will simply love what's coming over the next hill and I don't care who knows about it, what they think and what they try to do about it.

CaliforniaBlue said:I'm very disappointed by Mou and Wenger' assessment of the Spurs game - either because they're deliberately misrepresenting what happened, or (if they genuinely believe what they say) because they're significantly less intelligent than I gave them credit for.
