Re: didnt expect any favours
Fuckin gutted, but I've no complaints about today. The Scum did what they needed to do & whilst the referee wasn't great, in all honesty I've seen far worse refereeing displays and I'm no Rag for calling it as I see it. It was odds on that ManUre were going to win today, Spuds have a poor record against the teams in the top 5 this season and I didn't seriously expect that to improve against The Rags today TBH.
Harry Houdini again failed to come up trumps when it really mattered and if anything I think it brought into sharp focus all the calls for him to be a shoe-in for England manager............ Actually he'd be ideal because I'm sure he'd follow in the time honoured traditions of falling flat on his arse when it mattered most like all England managers invariably do.
Back to The Swamp Dwellers; They were away today doing what they needed to do to keep the pressure on us, but their fans still found time to sing 'You're just a shit Man City' to Spuds! And they call us bitter and obsessed!!
I also heard Peter Spencer on Talkshite earlier pointing out that it's become increasingly noticeable that The Rags are constantly hitting the media talking about how they expect us to slip up and how they expect to win the Premiership because of their superior run-in experience. He went on to add, 'But this Manchester City side just don't give up and just keep grinding out results and seem totally unaffected by ManUre's mind games and barracking and just don't look like losing, so you have to ask who out of the two are really feeling the pressure'?
On MOTD last night, does anyone recall the commentator pointing out how tired and tetchy Mancini looked? He even went on about how his scarf wasn't tied as immaculately as it usually was and that his hair didn't look as pristine as it always does and how the pressure looked like it was getting to him! I wouldn't mind, but we were 2-0 up at the time and controlling the match FFS!!!! ........ They're trying to hit us from all angles boys and girls and its for us to give our team 100% support at every game and that includes if or when our resident mongrel plays for us again.
Just like the OP quite rightly said, we shouldn't be relying on anyone else apart from ourselves. We have the advantage and the wherewithal at our disposal to do this for ourselves and as the boss said, if we win all our remaining games, we'll be OK. It's a big ask, but we'd be foolish to think that winning anything would be easy.
For ManUre, it's not so much about winning their 20th league title, it's more about stopping us from winning and they are putting in extra effort to ensure they do this. That's why we need to concentrate our efforts on what we have to do and the rest (as they say) will take care of itself.
