Spot on mate. Couldn't have said it better if I'd tried.
The two games in our end of season run-in that we had good reason to be nervous about are now past, and we won them both; no hang on a minute, lets get it right here, we f*cking BOSSED both of them. In the first one our team didn't allow the current chumps a single shot on goal and in the second we pretty much outplayed the team who were top of the form league on their own patch.
Yeah, lets be nervous about QPR and their amazing away record.
I bet our back four are nervous as hell about their ten-years-out-of date strike force.
Yaya, Gaz Baz and Nige are probably bricking it about coming face to face with the legend that is Lord Joseph of Barton.
Maybe Kun and Tevez are worrying about how they'll be able to out fox Neddy at the back.
I normally don't tempt fate like this but this isn't your typical city team is it. One more cup final and it's ours... and to be fair QPR probably got the points they need for survival yesterday. I for one will be bringing my cakes along next Sunday for our walk to the title.
I'm shaking my head as I read this...its one thing to be quietly confident and its another thing to get too cocky...we are not the rags ffs..
best team in the league? If by that you mean City, the 'best team' still lost 5 games and had 5 draws...and I didn't see all these declarations before the Newcastle match..
City will deserve that title only after we lift the Premier League trophy next week..until then, like you say, lets just not tempt fate, shall we? Do whatever you want after that..I myself will go bonkers where I am..
Well you shake your head as much as you like mate, but I've been QUIETLY confident about the possibility of this title being ours since the end of March.
Even before that lot in Trafford had their slip-ups at Wigan and against Everton I've been HOPING that they'd not get the points they needed to run away with it, and fortunately that hope became a reality. Once again I found myself quietly hoping to myself that our team would be capable of putting in performances in our previous two matches to nudge us ahead in this race, and you're right I wasn't as bullish BEFORE either of those two games.... but after those two performances I can now only see one outcome. I'm still hoping but now I've just got a little bit more volume with that hope.
You may look at this as me tempting fate, but I believe that you make your own luck in this life and that your destiny isn't somehow written in the stars or that the simple fact of me writing it down will somehow jinx it; I leave all that superstitious mumbo-jumbo to the witch doctors mate. Why am I so much more confident now than I was before our last two games? Simple really. When I look at our players I see a team who are confident in their ability to do the job that they're paid to do, who can now see the finish line ahead of them and their in the lead, a team of sportsmen who are now relishing the challenge ahead of them, and who hold the belief that they can win this thing; and that's rubbed off on me, I'm CONFIDENT but I'm certainly not cocky.
We're in the driving seat. It's ours to WIN not ours to lose. Their's a big difference between those two states of mind you know.
And If you think that when I look forward to seeing our players take on a team next Sunday who are in all honesty significantly inferior in talent, ability and tactics that I'm being RAG LIKE (FFS) then you need to give your head a big wobble. No offence meant mate, I get where you're coming from, believe me I do, but in my book there's a huge difference between looking forward to a winable match that we could win the league in and showing characteristics of being like a fan of those rags.
