Where would you rank last night in terms of disappointments?

I always think coming out top after 38 hard games is a mark of huge success. It’s relentless.

Of course winning more on top just adds to that level of success, but the CL aside for a sec, I’d much rather see us lifting the league title than lifting one of the other domestic cups. They’re a mark of luck primarily, and deemed some success as a result.

Champions of England though? Huge.

Yes I agree it's a great achievement for sure.

But I feel the players will be feeling a tad disappointed at the end of the season that the CL has eluded them once again.

Players like KDB are running out of time to win it.
 
I was stunned more than disappointed. I was at the swamp when Owen got that late winner and that was horrific. Neville was giving it large warming up and goading us down the touchline all game, we kept pegging them back and then that happened. Fucking awful.

But fancy waking up and knowing you are 4 wins away from the league title? Most disappointments over my lifetime supporting City haven't had such an amazing thing to fall back on. We've had the prospect of playing in a lower division. There have been plenty of disappointing and humiliating defeats. Last night was just a real shock ending. We've had our Gillingham and QPR moments that brought late ecstasy and that's why I knew we'd lost as soon as it went to ET. The same way Gillingham were never winning once they let that 2-0 lead in the 89th minute slip away, we were beaten there and then.

Just remembered the Wigan FA Cup final as well. That was painful. Such a weird day hearing Mancini had been sacked whilst in the Green Man. City fans battered and fighting in the ground. Then that late winner from Watson. I'd missed the Stoke FA Cup final as I was in Australia so this was my first chance to see City left a trophy at Wembley...extra pain.
 
Luton will always be the worst for me - think it’s the only time i ever cried after a match

The last minute loss to the rags when Scholes scored was horrible as was the 2nd leg SF loss at their place

Ok, in that regard then it was Fernandinho I felt for. He knows that’s it done now.

We’ll win it and when we do we will go on a spree of winning it imo. It’s just proving really tough to crack. Fine margins.

I honestly and with 100% truthfulness can say that I am not arsed in the slightest. Not even a tiny bit.
This whole charade of a competition is a farce, and always has been. It is peopled by yesterdays men, yesterdays clubs, and is a cartel of, and for, the history clubs, and the acceptable (white) face of ‘new money’.
I won’t lie, seeing the acceptable face of mainstream racism handing over the prized trophy to a club with owners who look like ours, would have had a certain feeling of poetic “fuck you” to it, but even that would never, could never, come remotely close to the feeling of us handing them their arse in a courtroom. THAT was the fight the club could not afford to lose, or there would have been little or no club left to pick the bones out of afterwards.
Last night, and all the other nights in their fancy competition, are a necessary evil the club has to participate in, in order to sign the players we sign who regularly deliver the real prize. Champions of the worlds most prestigious and hardest to win league anywhere in world sport - the premier league.
The aftermath begins at weekend. I have nothing but absolute faith in this manager and this group of players to deliver the real prize. Champions of England and breaker of murderous hearts. Again.

Could not have put it better myself, well done.

Hopefully the last thing Dinho will do in a City shirt is lift the PL trophy. Not a bad way to go out
