Gentlemen,ladies.
Let me be the first to admit I have in the past (recently) made disparaging remrks about fellow bluemooners/MH etc.
Today though I've been engaging my brain before posting.
Let's get some perspective:
- we are curretly fifth, GIH away from potential fourth.
- we made the SF of a major cup for first time since 1981.
- fifth round of fa cup.
- we have by some distance the best owners in world sport. Period.
- we (used to???) have the most self effacing fans in uk football.
- we have a team boasting tevez,ade,given,kompany,ndj,Barry,bellers and AJ amongst many others which despite what many of "us" have said recently are looked at with envy by 14/15 of the other teams fans in the prem (it is still "us" isn't it?- sometimes I think all this money has divided us too much and we are defining each other by the term "inner/outer", "rag/wum/'newbie'" etc. )
you know what. We are still city. We've still followed those blue shirted wankers/heroes through decades of false dawns and ruined dreams but these last few
months it's many of us (myself incl. When MH was in charge to my shame) that have thrown our toys out of our pram because we couldn't beat hull/burnley/Stoke etc.
I remember as do most of you being secretly embarrassed that we used to define our seasons worth only on how we did against united. THOSE days were shit. These should be the happiest days of most of our footballinglives.
We are like a bloke that married a model and then complained cos she couldn't cook as well as that munter over the road.
So fucking what if we are having a bad patch? We are city ffs. Life is a fucking bad patch but now at least we have hope if only we can remember to use it.
Stick together blues cos when we are all old piss sodden men we will look back and say "we could have really built a dynasty in the 2010's if we hadn't fucking spent so much time throwing it into our owners faces and feeding the southern/sky4 biased cunting media obsession with seeing city come unstuck. WE ARE SPOILING THIS FOR OURSELVES. Not Mancini. Not Cook. Not marwood. WE ARE.
We need to get a grip. Sharpish.
