Not that...

In some bizarre fashion I’m revelling in this spell.

Don’t get me wrong, the results are awful. But the build up and suspense towards a game has gripped me again.

I’m no longer going into a game expecting us to win and anything else is just a disappointment. I look forward to the matches and seeing them all as an opportunity to turn the fortunes around l.
 
I am very "arsed" even though no team has a right to win and all cycles end I want to see us fight to the last. Won't ruin my week but it matters and as others have said it reignites the passion when your suddenly back up against it. Its a long way from the dark days (There was a few flashbacks to Bournemouth 3-3 when the Feyenoord game fell apart) and we may not see 4 in a row ever again but am going to enjoy watching us try whoever is in charge and whatever happens with the 115.

I am bothered as I hate city losing.

However, I can agree with a lot of your points. For me this feels like a blip and not the end of the world. I expected it last season.

Due to past achievements, everyone is due a break from the usual emotional insults. City is our club and when it’s going through a hard time we stick together.

The media and some posters are making far too much about nothing if you ask me. Sure that’s normal theses days.

Hope we kick start something tho against Forest.

As a fanbase we have had a lot of pressure on us from constantly competing at the top and winning and also dealing with the charges. We all need a break and this season due to performances we will get that chance to reset.

That’s not to say we now accept shit. A realistic off season was inevitable. It has to stop at some point tho, hopefully that’s against Forest.

Thank you @wolviedinho as you’ve saved me having to type virtually all the above.

While I acknowledge the points you make, I'm baffled by the thread title. What is 'Not that...' supposed to mean. Sorry but you've brought out the pedant in me.

OP should be a journalist the title is clickbait 101..well done. It's turned into a good open discussion.
 
How the fuck did anyone expect us to win five in a row ? The amount of stress the team have been through these past 5/6 years is amazing and they have hit a wall . If rodders was here it might have been better but who knows

Only pep and the players can sort something out now, i am not going to stress myself out , the only thing that is winding me up is posters turning on pep and the team

Big rebuild in the summer

Not sure the best terminology, but I reckon most of the older "eternal fans" or "cradle to the grave fans" will be very relaxed about our current predicament. It hardly registers on the bad times scale, i'm not even sure that we'll shed many "plastics", at least not yet.

As and when Kovacic does this, I’ll start to get a bit anxious.

Arsed.

I fully expect some backlash, but honestly I’m not.

Sounds a bit protesting too much, but again I’m not.

Todays loss was expected, not title gone as I thought for awhile we where not at it.

Whether it’s the success of previous seasons or the acceptance that this is just not our year.

Whether it’s the mental exhaustion of the 115 and if that goes this season, I’d be happy with that.

If we get a 20 point deduction and we’re 15 points of the top, in a weird way I would find it quite funny it’s not cost us a title (other issues I know).

Maybe I just believe the team needs a refresh and this is inevitable.

Whatever it is, I’m annoyingly ok with it.
