Season's Over For Me

[mike channon´s windmill]

Seasons over for me, we have been getting steadily worse for a while now. Arsenal was shite and it's been down hill since. At this rate I don't think 4th is possible. No gusto in their performances and the defence is a zonal shambles. Starting to seriously lose faith. Spuds and dippers will be rubbing their hands together, and rightly so.

Looking at us now, last few minutes and no urgency at all, not interested, any of them. Think the Tevez shite might not have helped either.

All that money, you'll win fuck all they chant, yep, that's about it in a nut shell.

It was nice while it lasted though.

I think this is a bigger chicken than we thought and it's coming home to roost!

Mmmmm.... indeed .. I´m seriously wondering if Tevez and Dzeko can ever be effective for us as a partnership. Tevez is top dog and he doesn´t like interlopers

I like an angry Damocles, he still speaks sense but with an added venom which appeals to me.

Is it any wonder that this place goes into meltdown sometimes when you consider our unique and incredible circumstances that we've had to adapt to in very recent times?

We've been whooshed into the big-time (I think 'whooshed' is a word. If not, it should be) due to sudden, unlimited finances following years - in many people's cases, a lifetime - of struggle.

We are bound to be undergoing an identity crisis amongst ourselves until everything settles.

City fans can be equated to a Lotto-winning family. Some still recoil at spending a grand on a item of clothing whilst others have forgotten all too quickly their values and roots.

Let's not beat ourselves up about this blues. And, more importantly, lets not turn on each other as we attempt to acclimatize ourselves to a new world and new expectations.

It's going to take time. We were never going to be an all-conquering force over-night no matter how much money we spent on players.
Similarly we no longer have Jamie Pollock in our team and blues are allowed to be annoyed at a poor performance.

Its a balance in expectation that requires respect for each other and each other's views because the one thing we can all agree on - and be certain of - is that trophies and glory are not far off in the future. Good times are on the horizon.
Lets not slag each other off on the journey. Lets enjoy it.

Damocles, separate to your role as a mod, you are normally a very good poster on here. But the last couple of weeks or so, you have been uncharacteristically aggressive and insulting to anyone who looks at you the wrong way.
I don't know why that is, shit at work or home or something, or maybe you're just as desperately disappointed in the 2011 City as I am.
One of the things I like about your Off Topic stuff is your tolerance and patience. Where has that gone? You're unrecognizable these days.
Come on fella. You're better than this.
Chill out and come back as you were a few weeks ago. This is most unlike you.

It's because I severely dislike this place now. It's either filled with agenda driven wankers, whose posts are so predictable that I'm pretty sure that I could write them myself, as well as all of the replies to them, or it's filled with a bunch of people shouting at tolmie because despite the fact that most of the mods have stood up for his info other people think they know better, or it's filled with a bunch of people who thinks the world is ending every time we drop a point, and we should sack our manager, sell all of our players and spend the remainder of the week telling everyone that we need to buy the latest starlet of FIFA or Football Manager. There's no room for discussion on here any more, because as I put in another thread before, nobody wants to hear it. This isn't a forum any more, people don't want replies to their points, this is turning into Twitter where it is all about the people who make the points rather than the points themselves.
Tolerance and patience only goes so far. It's got to the point that all I need to do know is look at the name of a thread starter and 75% of the time, I know what the thread will be.
Dave/Billy/PB start self righteous threads with their "oh so clever" persecution complexes without seeming to realise that nobody actually fucking cares. People argue with them because they are bored, not because they have something interesting to say. Shame as well, Billy seems quite decent on the PM, and PB and me have had some good debates about Israel; I just hate this whole thing that they've had going on since the late Hughes period that's continued to this day.
Bombo, PaulPowre and a few other post some intolerably kneejerk shit about how the world is caving in around us and we need to sell everyone right now.
I could go on, but I won't as I end up naming most of the forum.

Point is, discussion is dead now, sniping is all that's left. Why fight against the current any longer?

I think you need to take a time out, mate.

Wife with cancer, sick children, car crashes, losing your home. These are big things.

This is just a footy forum with a bit of banter. Nothing more.

See you then.....

I take it you won't be attending any more games then?

Good. We don't need fans like you.

You should have a long think about whether this makes you a suitable person to be a Moderator.
