Typical City days are back

I’m not sure it’s typical city at all in fact it’s all a bit predictable at the minute.

Typical City was lurching from one disaster to another, overseen by a terribly managed organisation, with constant change of personnel.

This is a decline overseen by a stable and brilliant structure where the lack of change has probably accelerated the decline.

Football is generally all a little bit predictable at the moment and has been for a few years. In danger of sounding cliché but almost every team seems to be trying to play systematic boring football. I think the reality is, we simply do not have the same quality of players we had 5-10 years ago.

I think milners goal had shades of the old 'typical city'. However, to fully meet the criteria he would have had to be shit when he played for us and popped up with the winner for his new club against us which isn't quite the case.
Kit Symons a prime example with his winner against us at Fulham, although to be fair he put quite a few past city's keepers when he was a blue :-(

Surely Dickov for Leicester is the apotheosis of that phenomenon.

Law for City in 1974 being the mother of all ripostes to that theory. (Sort of) relegating your rivals has to trump Kit Symons scoring for Fulham?

Agreed I said that today watching Liverpool v Arsenal.

Come on the plan was always to allow an elite team to age, don't replace them with similar standard players, don't address glaring deficiencies, let other clubs purchase better players.....All safe in the knowledge we'd already won things.
Ingrates!!

Did you really think it would last forever?

And if not, how long did you think it could go on for?

What do you even mean by ‘typical City’?

Out of interest GDM I asked ChatGPT:

"typical City” = the old stereotype of Manchester City being comically unlucky or inconsistent.

"The phrase grew from decades of being brilliantly chaotic, often self-sabotaging, and full of near-comical misfortune"

AI is worryingly accurate.

Is the term wanker abusive? It’s a pretty mild rebuke. Are you actually arsed if someone calls you a wanker?

I'm more concerned by his wanting the moderators to 'do their job'. I take this to mean chaining @LangleyBlue1970 to a radiator in the mod room while they take turns bumming him until they get bored and dispose of him overboard on rics yacht. Sort of like a really gay version of the sopranos.
 
I've said for a while, that a short pre season would mean at least 5 or 6 games to bed new players in and for things to gel. That we will all have to grin and bear it in the meantime.
I haven't changed my mind.
We have the much needed refresh and we have good players to go forwards with. Top four and a cup would be a great target while we get up and running this season. We are entitled to nothing due to the previous years.

The thing we lack is patience.

We still have some shockers to come. So we need to get behind the team. They need our support, not infighting.
Let's see if the doubters will delete their posts when things start to get better...
