Two facts about City

[Claytop]

When can we win it now? Think spurs will be well up for it!

Think we have Swansea and Huddersfield at home after Spurs. Hope to fck we have it won by Huddersfield.

We are major bottlers. As soon as we concede we implode. Great teams just don’t do that. Yes, we will stutter to the title from here but it will take a lot of shine off it. Like Souness said, no matter how good we are, great teams do not concede 3 goals from winning positions in big games. And we’ve done it twice on the bounce. We can slag off Sterling all we want for those criminal misses that would’ve killed the game off, but it doesn’t excuse ridiculously poor amateurish defending from our centre halves.

Spot on.
Top teams don’t concede like that from being in a strong position. We were utterly diabolical.
As for Sterling and his shocking misses, my 7 year old said he could have scored those. He’s not a goal scorer what ever you say, he’s a fast tap in merchant with the occasional fluke. Until we learn to close out games when ahead, we will continue to be spanked.

Going to be a bit of an anti climax when it happens now as surely it will. I'm 50 Probably never see a game against the rags to become champions again. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and we spunked it up. Not beyond the reams of possibility that we lose against spurs too, if that happens we can't win it at home against Swansea either. Disappointing end to a season that promised so much. 8-4 against the dippers would turn that around of course.

Once in a lifetime chance and with our first team we would have pissed it,nothing would have felt as sweet,it'll be meh when we do it now,probably not even on the box

 

[Moorsey 2002]

Correct but that game hurt

Competely agree.

I’m fuming, especially with Sterling.

By tomorrow I’ll have calmed down and be more sane about the situation.

But this fucking week has sent me right back into typical City mode !

 

[bavarian blue]

Have to agree, we could have rubbed their noses in it for ever more.

I'll give you a third fact about City:
We have fans who want to demonstrate their blueness by going on about how we'll still win the league as though it's ever been in doubt over the past three months.
The fact is we lost a home derby after surrendering a two goal lead. - AND IT FUCKING HURTS.
We'll cheer the title win whether it's at Wembley (unlikely as the rags play West Brom), The Etihad v Swansea or in London against West Ham. But the celebrations will be more diluted than they would have been had we won it yesterday. Winning the title has been inevitable for a while (barring several serious injuries); the only thing that would make it more special would have been to do it against those clowns and their pet match-day officials. Why is this so difficult to understand?
We've had lots of "ticks" but we won't get full "tock" until we really rub their noses in it on a regular basis. Yesterday was a brilliant opportunity to send a loud, clear message, and we messed it up.

Dead right not for the first time since 2012 we've had our foot on their throat and not pushed down.

Well said, spot on will never get a chance to piss em off , ( not in my life time was there as well ) should have played our strongest team, rest on the bench and gave them a good hiding, they had two weeks off, strolled it at everton, but pep deemed champions league was more important, spoilt many a good piss up that result, don't think Tuesday will be much different. BUT, AS

The red ****s in the pub were jumping around. Fucking celebrating that our title win has to wait. I asked one if he wanted to swap places and silence.

They celebrated because they’d won a derby they was 2-0 down in. The same way we’d celebrate any victory but even more so considering the circumstances. The OP is spot on but like many yesterday hurt, a lot.
