I haven't been able to watch a United match in full since they played Spurs. Watched about 10mins of their game against QPR on the concourse at Arsenal but didn't really have much choice.
In fact yesterday I skipped their game and the build up to ours. Also missed the half time analysis of our game. It wasn't until fairly late in our game that I realised that they hadnt won! Surprisingly the commentators hardly referred to it.
I find it hard enough watching City on telly never mind United and their Fergie time wins. Even when the commentators are reasonably balanced about City, I still find it 10 times more stressful watching us on the box and not in the crowd. The Arsenal game was bad but I dont think I'd have survived watching it on the telly.
And 10 times worse than watching us on the telly is listening to us on the radio (Swansea).

I never used to watch the rags, apart from when they had the honour of playing us. Just recently, though, I've found myself putting myself through purgatory. It's like a morbid fascination. Two hours of waiting for a) a dodgy decision, b) them to score the inevitable goal(s). I wonder if they've hired a hypnotist, not only to con the opposing team, but also the watching ABU public?
In the lead up to the weekend just gone, I'd had enough. My nerves are shot, and I'm fed up with ruining the rest of the working week by getting angry. I'd been on the pop, Saturday evening, so had a good excuse to sleep right through the rags' match. Turned the phone off and totally ignored them. Turned out to be great therapy, but the first thing I did when I woke up was to check their result!
As for us.... No fingernails. More grey hair than I had at the start of the season. I'm even noticing my heart skipping beats when we play. Think I actually hold my breath for some of the time. City is not, and has never been, good for one's health! Am considering watching the derby from the comfort of a padded cell. I don't think my nerves can cope any more with being the only blue at a hostile rag pub, regardless of the result. If that game goes well for us, I'm taking to the hills until the season is over. Time to admit that I'm getting old.

It's not getting any easier is it Blues. All day I've just wanted to get home, come on here and chill out with other Blues. This is the only place to be for the next 7 days. Got me a couple of cans in the fridge and everything else will be put on hold once i'm home from work for the next week. I think both sets of fans are feeling it and the desire to win this game is becoming unbearable. CITYYYYYYYYYYYY....

Fucking hahahahahaha!!!!Blue2112 said:All I can think about now is the title, all I can think about now is the derby, all I can think about now is City. I'm sat here and everyone else in the house is carrying on as normal and Ive just screamed at them how the fuck can you carry on watching some shit on tv when there's a derby in 8 days time that means everything.
Nice one mate.

Are the nerves because its the rags and the title, if Chelsea were top instead of the rags and we were going head to head with them would it be such a life and death thing as it is with them lot. IMO it is only because it is them.

I'd say both, it's the first title for the majority of us and we deserve it this year, it's come a little sooner than expected so thats made it more nervy because its so close but its definetly been ramped up because its us or them.

Definitely to do with the vermin. And you should try going through this past few weeks with a heart attack in your background!Rammyblues said:Are the nerves because its the rags and the title, if Chelsea were top instead of the rags and we were going head to head with them would it be such a life and death thing as it is with them lot.

If it's a derby match of course I will watch it on the box if I can't get there,but apart from that I never watch that filth on tv,does it make it any better on my nerves ? Fuck no I spend 90 mins plus whatever the bent ref adds on thinking the filth are going to win one way or the other,and then when I switch on afterwards like yesterday I go apeshit,does not matter what we do I suppose,we are city fans and bad nerves are a way of life when you sign up to follow this wonderfull club.
