Manchester City - Premier League Champions 2022/23

[yeseye]

Just after the Anfield draw when they were still well ahead and were saying it was a point gained..

Absolutely 2 points dropped as Utds draw against Everton in 2012
Proved to be true..

Give us a sniff and more often then not we will take it.

Let's make tomorrow a proper party atmosphere. What an achievement.

I agree with this. I’ve said it before on here at the time but it bears repeating. The day the charges were announced was a deliberate attempt to destabilise the entire organisation, and end HHSM’s time at City. No less than that was the intention. From announcing the charges to the media before the club itself, to the duplicitous manner in which 5 main charges were bundles into 115, purely for media headline purposes.

That press conference was of absolutely crucial importance. Not just to this season, but (without wanting to sound hyperbolic) to the entire future of this club as we know and love it. The narrative was choreographed, and set in stone. In my opinion with the prior approval, and involvement, of certain hand-picked media outlets:

City were filthy cheats. The manager and most key players were either complicit in the ‘cheating’, or were to be so disgusted by it that they would leave as soon as humanly possible.

Amd then Pep came out, puffed out his chest, and read them the riot act. Voiced, professionally and inarguably, a selection of home truths, and undeniable facts. Came out swinging, and left the watching world (and who knows?, maybe even a few waivering players/employees), in no doubt that not only was HE not going anywhere, but that the club and the players were in no doubt of our innocence.
It was exactly what we as fans, and City as an organisation so desperately needed. It lifted my spirits as much as any win has. It was a truly beautiful moment. It must, it just simply MUST, have brought the entire club together at the exact moment we needed it.

They (the media and their paymasters in the red shirted old money clubs) came to that press conference to finally bury City, and begin writing the obituary of the club. They had finally found a way to hound the Muslims out of their white man’s game, and put the impudent, working class, upstarts back in their box. In their place.

I know this sounds over the top, but I’ve believed in my heart ever since, that Pep saved City that day. I shall never, ever, forget how he made me feel in that moment.

Superbia in Proelio.

Brillaint mate. For pep to stick his neck out like that was such a show of confidence in the club, would've been so easy to brush off any questions with excuses that he's here to coach and doesn't know about the workings of the club etc. But he defended us to the hilt, I know how it made me feel and its obviously been the same with the squad, obviously fostering a seige mentalitly. There's a video knocking about of speeches in the dressing room from ilkay, ruben, rodri and pep etc, and in one he mentions that everything we have won we've won on the pitch.. he's obviously used the attack on the club to galvanise the team.

What a man, I have a feeling he's not leaving after his current contract..

Fantastic achievement by the team to win it and have games still to spare.

Then I think about the famous quote, that has aged so well haha :

Ferguson: Can City be top dogs? 'Not in my lifetime'​

Bitter much?

For old time Blues like me these are special times. In the darkness of days gone by I could never have dreamed of what we have had laid upon our table during these past few years. I once felt that the Mercer period was as good as it was gonna get for me, but surely no football fans have been as privileged as us, bearing in mind the trophy haul and the way everything has been won. From Bobby Manc, though the Pellers seasons and now this unbelievable Pep era City have always done it in style. I consider myself truly blessed to have been a part of it, as I am sure are those fellow Blues who like me followed City through thin & thinner. The best bit about it is that there's more to come. Can't wait for tomorrow !

Me on Kippax steps early 80s, never ever dreamed there would be days like this
