It goes without saying that anything but a win would be a terrible result. We have to win all the banker games if we want to win the title.
will it fuck
That's a good theory.bluealf said:Didnt the scum always start off slowly and then build throughout the season finishing like a train after xmas to win the title.
Shame they looked 5 times fitter than us in every department last week.
Nah, just come on Bluemoon and moan :)stonerblue said:Bluemoon115 said:So you think a draw at home to Swansea is an acceptable result?-- Sun Aug 14, 2011 12:09 pm --stonerblue said:will it fuck

I responded to the claim that 'anything but a win will be a terrible start'
As for your draw question, yes, i would accept it because i have no fuckin choice in the matter. What are you gonna do if the 'unacceptable' happens? Rip up your ST? Burn all your memorabilia and never go again?

There are 8/9 posters on this board that over the past few weeks jump on every negative thread they can find and twist it into an anti-Mancini argument time and time again. It's funny really, those of us with a few brain cells will give it a few games before seeing how we are playing. In the meantime we should still have enough to beat the likes of Swansea at home.

peoffrey said:I read as much of Bluemoon as I possibly can and don't think I could name any of these posters you mention. If they bother you that much then I'd recommend just ignoring them and continuing with your sensible approach. The agendas many have are baffling.
Different personalities breed different desires.IOWBlue said:Not sure how many other managers do almost daily interviews, for everyone to pick at, and put a slant on everything they say, but for me, Bobby, in a different language, deals well with all the questions. How many times can one man be asked about Tevez or Balo, its every day now for the last year. Brian (who?), nice bloke but no success. Keegan, most people loved him and his style of play, no success. Sven, Bondy, Pearce, came across ok at interviews, never got slagged off, no success. Im backing the man who gave us our first trophy, since i saw my hero's overhead, stood on 2 mess tins at wembley when i was 11. A lot of people mention York away, or players like Conlon, and 20 odd thousand but "we were there". How can we not be walking around without huge grins, if this isnt what we all suffered for, i dont know what is.

I won't be happy 'til the club I've supported through the shit is the absolute best at what it does. I'm content with what we are now.
Don't get me wrong, the euphoria immediately following the Cup win was immense, and I enjoyed that.IOWBlue said:Bluemoon115 said:Different personalities breed different desires.IOWBlue said:Not sure how many other managers do almost daily interviews, for everyone to pick at, and put a slant on everything they say, but for me, Bobby, in a different language, deals well with all the questions.

Dont disagree Bluemoon 115, but as this is the best weve been since then, i can only be happy now. Im not going to walk around 90% chuffed, waiting for the title that may not arrive. ( its a funny old game ) ;)

But if you're anti-Mancini and expect City to win you're being arrogant and heaping unreasonable expectations on the manager, and if you expect them to lose you're being negative!
I think too many on here have their own agendas!
Every City fan I know wants City to win. End of. Whether they support Mancini or not is irrelevant.
