The damage done by 20 year's inferiority to Man United

[gordondaviesmoustache]

that season was dull and dispiriting but it was not the darkest days. As someone above said, all the momentum and optimism we'd gained under royle and Keegan had seeped away, along with the money. Its purely a personal thing but I became quite apathetic about city. It seemed we were another everton , Birmingham or Sunderland: doomed to perpetual mediocrity through lack of finance and falling gates.

I felt exactly the same.

It felt like we'd been on an incredible journey, but the destination was an overwhelming disappointment.

Most of my City supporting years have been when that lot was winning everything in sight. It has been character building and I admit at times I thought why bother putting myself through it all.

Its a great OP DD, cant disagree with any of it. Its going to take a while to shake the inferiority complex, but we are well on the way to not only shaking it, but giving them one of their own :)

Good post, when United are on the ball around our area I'm panicking for my life, I don't want the cunts to score. Even when they aren't in particularly dangerous position I'm shitting myself and over-thinking things.

Me too. Didn't help that I'd had to give up my season ticket when I went to university and wasn't in Manchester so was hardly getting to see City. We were that shit (and I went rarely) that I didn't see us win live for about 2 or 3 years.. Around 06/07 I fell out of love with footy a bit. That was truly dispiriting in the way that the scrap for survival in the late 90s wasn't. (Although the 90s were worse - just that they weren't so... flat.)

Maybe it's because I'm one of the dreaded foreign fans... well, dreaded by some at least... that it's not a matter of them scoring at all that bothers me. I feel the same way about them that I do for anyone within touching distance of us as far as league position goes. I don't want them to score. I want them to fail, but not because of who they are but because I want us to win the Premier League.

The thing is, when we beat them 1-0 at the end of last season with the Vinny header, they didn't even threaten and I was an nervous wreck!

I was a wreck too... because if we didn't win, we weren't going to win the league. If they beat us twice this year and we win the league guaranteed? Sign. Me. Up.

I tried but it was busy with your mam.

On a slightly more serious note, what the fuck is up with you?
