Over the past few seasons as we have become stronger as a team there has been less and less of those 'Typical City' moments. Right now I really don't fear any other club domestically. Bring on United, Chelsea or whomever because we are as strong if not stronger than all of our opponents. Yes we won't beat these teams every time we play them but of course there will be times when we do and no doubt we will win more trophies and lose more trophies over the next 10/20 years but the main thing is we will now be competing at this level for the foreseeable future. Instead of fearing these teams I now relish the prospect as do i'm sure our players. They are big game players, winners both mentally and physically and this recent FA Cup run against the lower league clubs, Watford, Leeds and Barnsley with no disrespect to any of them the gulf in class has been enormous. Never once did I feel a cup upset was on the cards and although we will continue to improve the squad and players will come and go Im convinced the 'typical City' tag and performances are a thing of the past. We're going to be competing with United for many years to come, I was hoping for a potential cup final derby but for now that will have to wait as surely one day soon it's got to happen.
