most of my mates have been gracious in defeat. I think that they recognised that we outplayed them in the second half. They've righly pointed out that it'd have been a different game if Berbatov had scored early on, and that we've still not won anything yet so we can hardly go shouting our mouths. They all admit they wanted the treble though, so that's a nice feeling.
On a general point, is anyone else worried that we're becoming a bit like them? I know the "you've had your day out, now f off home" chant has been around for a few years, but whilst it was funny when we were causing a bit of an upset, it makes me cringe now (thinking of the Sunderland game), we're becoming a bit "new money", I've never seen city as an arrogant club, but I think every neutral in the country will be cheering Stoke on at Wembley, partly because of our press, but partly because of our rep.
