Absolutely spot on that de Niro. You ruthless bastard :) ! That's exactly the attitude every single person at our football club should have every minute of every day.de niro said:gordondaviesmoustache said:It's unbelievable, it really is.brianisablue said:Second in the Premiership, and in the last 16 of the Champions League and it's an awful season?

I once saw someone I knew make a lot of money in a short period and all it seemed to do was make them unhappy, for some unfathonable reason. I know if the same thing happened to me I'd have a fucking ball.
I think that is analogous to a decent sized chunk of our supporters. If this is an 'awful season' then they really should start reconsidering their priorities. For 95% of football fans this would be an incredible season. It's not been as good as last season, but what do people expect? That every season will be the same as the last? Get real.
Following Manchester City supporters over the last few years would make an interesting social experiment. There's no doubt in my mind that some people haven't made the most of this wonderful opportunity we've been given in terms of deriving enjoyment from it.
Describing this season as 'awful' suggests the pain of losing has become too great and the joy of winning has become too little and when that happens one should ask the question is there really any point making yourself so unhappy ?
we are still an awesome team but i think what people are upset about is we are throwing the season away. we of all fans know its very easily taken away from you, back in 1968 do you think we thought it would take 44 years to win another title? did we fuck. you win what you can whilst you can. you dont rotate. you dont be nice.you dont try and be popular with the media. you go out there and rip everyone you can a new one. it will all come crashing down one day, football is like that, but for now we are top dogs and we should not be throwing that superiority away. call me greedy.
Does it feel like that's the case?
I feel like our club is too nicey-nicey, a bit soft, a bit shy trying not to be disliked too much.
We have to be far more nasty and ruthless. We don't appear to put our hands to someone's throat to stop them, we just wait until they trip up and we run in front of them.
It's nearly a year since I said this for the first time (and people replied "but four years is a hell of a long time") but Kompany Zaba Yaya and Silva are all getting older and within three years (I did say four last year) they will need replacing. Nothing lasts forever and soon this squad will need dismantling. But are we really being as ruthless as possible to be the best we can be while they're still in their prime?
