It feels weird to see us outside the top four in the table.
Surely it makes it easier to swallow?Very good result which makes the Palace result hurt even more.
I suppose. Hard to look at dropping a 2-0 lead at home in the final minute any other way than poorly, but a chance to make it right on Wednesday.Surely it makes it easier to swallow?
A draw would be superb!
They all know …
There were quite a few on here throwing in the towel two or three weeks ago. I said back then, that I hadn't given up on it. And I see no reason to change that view.
I was at that West Brom game. Never felt as "meh" about a City win (4-0,IIRC), even after word got through about Moloney's winner for Wigan. But it does show you; keep the faith. Does that make me a happy clapper? Possibly. So be it.When we lost to Arsenal in 2012, in my heart of hearts I had given up. There were six matches still to be played. I dragged myself along to the ground morosely, out of a sense of duty to the team that had given me such a wonderful season. We beat West Brom, the rags lost to Wigan that evening. And the flame that was flickering in the wind, on the point of going out, roared up again.
Eighteen matches have been played (seventeen by us). Thirty eight have to be played. Sixty points are in the balance. Sixty.
Anybody giving up at this point or for a long time to come probably needs therapy. Although they'll probably come on here, because it's a cheap form of therapy.
