Agree re winning mentality -- last night was watershed moment ! we finally "joined the club" Yesss ! how many times have you heard -- "THEY always score in last minute etc wish WE were like that !" -- well we are now !! and its a major step forward -- the belief , the execution etc. Come On CITY !!

While it was good to get the last-second winner, remember the old saying.

One swallow doesn't make a summer.
 
We did this under Pearce with Richards twice, the season we went down too with Tony Vaughan v Bradford.

All the games were over straight after the re-start.

Good question for the spuds lad to put out in his football question of the day thingy that, it would be a stat worth looking up.

I'm such an anorak, 2009- 10 Season:

Arsenal 0-3 Chelsea
Liverpool 0-2 Chelsea
Rags 1-2 Chelsea

Exactly.

Now up until last season we couldn't beat Spurs,that jinx is buried now,Everton fell 3 weeks ago.It's time to move up to the next level.

Win away at Arsenal?

Not been done since about 1975.

I heard it said time and time again in the press/media, that United are winners because they always play to the final whistle.
I've also heard it said that until City have the same mentality we won't succeed.

Well, we played to the final second last night!

We have started to tick all the boxes...

Win a trophy - Tick
Qualify for Champions league - Tick
Win without Tevez - Tick
Knock United off top spot - Tick
Play to the final whistle - Tick

Not getting ahead of ourselves, but what other boxes should we be ticking next?

Win the Carling Cup -
Retain the FA Cup -
Win the league -
Win the Champions league -
Any Other? -

The league is ours this year.

I absolutely hate Rags saying this when they've just bundled a goal in the 5th minute of 3 added-on!!
Having been on the other end of it last night I wasn't sure whether to use it myself. Smug self-satisfaction or copying a Rag, hmm it's a tough one...

I must admit I hate it when they do it as well but it isn't just a coincidence, they do it time and time and time again and have done for years. Whether it's an equaliser or a winner you always feel they're gonna get that late goal and 9 times out of 10 they do. No team is that lucky, not even them jammy fuckers!
