Anybody who thinks that city games are boring must be tripping.
I look at it this way.
We are in 1st place and by some margin and to me every pass, shot and tackle could mean a goal or every misplaced shot, tackle and pass could spell danger. Right now every league game is a cup final for me, it's life or death for 3 points, we've got ourselves up there through hard work and dedication.
Last night even at 3 nil I was still on the edge of my seat. This is uncharted territory we find ourselves in, nobody as fans or the club has been in this situation before(ok maybe under Keegan in the championship we broke loose for a bit) but this is the premier league.
This is the trophy I want more than any other, winning the league is the pinnacle as a club and a team, we've done it every other way and I'd love it if we romped it with games to spare.
But one game at a time, 16 cup finals left for me, and the thrill and the buzz and the excitement is bursting out of me every game.

Well said, mate. Me too.

I started following City in January 1970,at the age of seven; it was ‘88 before I saw them live.

When I decided to go to university in 1999, I went to one near enough to Manchester that I could finally buy a season-ticket and watch my beloved
Blues on a regular basis, though I missed most of the the Keegan promotion season, as I was in Germany and France as part of my degree.

Now, Mrs Vienna and I have SCs in 328 and I can’t get enough of City. I love the buzz of hearing the team read out, watching the players' warm-up and especially the game. I always have, even during Pearce's last dreary season.

And I’m sure I always will.

Moments before 93:20 bald bloke in front of me in family stand (row 3) lost it and gave one of those loud, lamenting soliloquies about how the brass had told us typical City was gone for good but they were wrong - we had it on a plate and haf shot ourselves in the foot again... don't think he minded me rubbing it in his face at all as I landed on the back of his head.

Oh, and you can get tablets for that mate. I've seen the adverts.

De Bruyne - Fernandinho - Silva
Sterling - Aguero - Sane
 
George a Welsh dipper on now - don't want Sanchez " he had his chance and didn't want to come to Anfield" - wants / expect Ozil to rock up there - that money is going to their heads eh?

Having said that he was respectful of City and took the piss out of the rags so not a total loss to football
 
Gough on now advocating that young footballers should be allowed to drink in the run up to games........
 
I had to laugh yesterday when the educated and erudite scouser Joseph Barton was discussing potential managers to replace Hughes at Stoke. Barton suggested the dream team of Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane, because the Stoke owners normally appoint managers from Great Britain. Geography not your strong point then Joey?’

Tbf he disagreed with Neville on no drinks whatsoever for 7 days before any game. As he said that would mean no footballer especially the young uns having any booze from August till May. Not a drop. Thats pretty hard to do.

Any young sportsman who wants to be at the pinnacle of their sport shouldn't drink at all during the season, they can have a bit of a blow out at the end of the season then knuckle down once pre-season starts. No wonder the majority of English players can't make that step up to world class.

They can drink and party all they want at 35 when their careers are over.

Drives me mad seeing certain players in situations in papers, some really don't know how lucky they actually are.

Doesn’t seem to be that difficult for most of the none British players though. English players, pretty good at all levels up to under 21, get some cash and start ‘being board’ and drinking, then they all tail off and disappear. You’d almost think there might be a link there.......
