Are you missing the point?
There's a clue in his post:Wafty Cranker said:Who do you support op? It's nice to read some sense on here though. Good post matey.
I agree with pretty much all you've said. It's such a fine line between success and failure, luckily for us we came down on the right side of that line last season and eveything was rosey, I dread to think what the reaction would have been like had we not won that game in last May. That goal completely changed what many people's perceptions of Mancini would have been.
It seems to either be top of the world, or a crisis for many a City fan with no inbetween. Personally I think Mancini is doing a great job, but persisting with Savic was criminal, and in my eyes cost us a place in the league cup final, that I think we'd have gone on to win. All the fans no Savic wasn't up to it, so why couldn't Mancini see it.
Sure I was annoyed when we had a stinker in Amerstrdam, but if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture any City fan has got to be happy with where we are, and I only see us progressing with the amount of off the field investment taking place. I waited decades to see us win anything, so I can wait a few more years to see us win the Champions League, but it's not going to be this year, so like others I too would take three points at the bridge over a win tonight.
