Thanks for that F Bloke -; and this thread sits very nicely with the one you made last Season " What City's Success would mean to you". Thanks for both of them - but you have missed a key aspect of my post.
When I referenced Abramaovich's almost physical attack on the Chelsea players failure to progress in the Champions League it was a dig from me about how some Clubs can measure success in just the one ultimate prize. We also saw it with Madrid when they sacked Del Bosque and many others. I dont want City to be like that.
The thread has been drawing me in since reading it at work throughout last night and one of the many things it got me thinking about was our traditional rivals in the general "Sky" type order of things and how unfair it seems to them and the bitterness from them that often shows itself on this Forum when they post. Without using Google or Wikipedia my memory says that Spurs and Everton between them have won 12 or 13 Trophy's since the overhead kick from Dennis. Well, that's not fair to me either but we have paid our dues.
I have not got a Ten year plan like the owners. My plan goes from the Game against Spurs on the opening day of the Season to the day I draw my last breath and it is Glory and Victory and Trophies that I am after. Just one would make everything worth it. Yet magnificently we all know we just dont stop at one.
