I'm not pandering to any media theory or 'agenda'. I just comment on what I see in front of me. Just because people aren't 100% positive doesn't mean they are pandering to other peoples beliefs.....
But doesn't it bother you that the whole CL thing is hyped to the hilt and as a competition is not actually as important as retaining the domestic title (for most of us anyway?) Why can't people be realistic and keep things in proportion? We do not need to be going down the Mad Russian school of football club management.
For me, the League is far and away the priority, and probably always will be.
What I wanted to see this season was progression in the Champions League. What we did see, was regression.
What proportion are you wanting us to keep things in? Did I ever expect us to win it- of course not. Did I expect us to get out of the group- I always knew it would be tough.
Did I expect us to put up more of a fight than we did- ABSOLUTELY.
Obviously I don't know what the owner is thinking, but I bet he isn't too pleased with European performances- that is the big stage, after all. Last year we were unlucky, in a way. This season we were pitiful.
It bothers me a bit how things will be over hyped- Gullit for example did my head in last night. I am not one to hark on about an Agenda, but he was going way OTT last night. Overall though, the 'abuse' we are probably getting today (I haven't read any papers) is probably merited, and what most City fans are thinking.
