I can feel it. I can sense it.
We've all got just that bit too used to things working out....as expected.
What the hell happened to "Typical City"? We played an inferior team in the cup final. And won. We finally went to Old Trafford with a better team than United..and hammered them. We played for fourth place, and got third.
It could be argued the last great "Typical City" moment was going to Wembley in poor form to play a Man Utd team in good form, playing badly for half an hour, riding our luck, and then dominating the game and ruining their treble. I don't think we've really had one since then.
I tell you now, one's coming. We're all just that bit too complacent with our team full of stars, and the predictability of our results. And I can just tell it's going to be the biggest one of all, the stakes are so high this year. It could be one of those Paul Dickov/Shaun Goater/Ya Ya Toure moments of pure City gold, where the stars align, god looks down and smiles and the blue moon rises, sending shivers down the spine. OR it could be one of those Jamie Pollock/Paul Scholes/Alan Ball moments of pure horror, where a swarm of evil demons is unleashed in the flick of a boot. Where the world ends with a swift, hard kick in the groin.
Let's have your predictions, please...what's this season's Typical City moment going to be?
I'm going for:
We come from behind to beat Man United with a last minute 30 yard winner from Balotelli in front of a delirious crowd to go 5 points clear with two games remaining.
Then we get paralised with nerves, lose to Newcastle 1-0 and are 1-0 down to QPR. Then with 82 minutes on the clock, in sheer desperation we introduce Tevez who goes one on one with the keeper . He scores, sending us all into ecstacy.
(Or maybe he hits the post)
Guesses please, ladies and gentlemen.....?
