Stop The Talking

That would be white Zinfandel, inappropriately enough.

This team has the capacity to go unbeaten until the end of the season, let's not raise the white flag just yet....

I'll raise a glass of pink Zinfandel to that! ;-)

Second in the Premiership, and in the last 16 of the Champions League and it's an awful season? In january?

It's unbelievable, it really is.

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.

Hear, hear.

There was a time I would have killed for second place and to see City in the Champions League. I will never forget the agony, the despair, the humility and embarrassment of being a Blue only a few years ago. Facing reality that I will probably never in my life time see City win anything more than a Thomas Cook trophy. But although I won't forget the dark days, it doesn't mean that I should live in the past, being happy with a half decent cup run and avoiding relegation. We are not the City of old. We're not singing "super Mark Kennedy" while hoping Scott Hiley is going to become the next best thing. We are now one of the best teams in world football and getting beat 2 nil by Arsenal at home is underachieving but getting beat 2 nil at home to Boro is a disgrace. I'm sick to death of hearing that we should be grateful, win, lose or draw!

We've got 40 points. That's the main thing.

There's only one team that's been relegated whilst reigning champions. Don't all kid yourselves we can't do it twice.
