As for being deluded I think all fans suffer from it no matter who you support. No one likes to hear bad things about their club and many refuse to hear, even when the obvious is staring them in the face. Rags take note.
Your probably right to be honest. How many times have we cringed at the village idiot being interviewed outside Eastlands on SSN?
I still maintain that the ratio of deluded to realistic fans is a lot far higher in the North East though.

Deluded? That has to be us, but only because of what we have been through.
I have followed city for 30 years and the 2 best players i have seen are , Cantona and most of all Scholes. that is really difficult to understand for a proud blue, but you have to recognise good football
Now is a time where we need to be humble - i could never envisage a Gareth Barry ever playing for us yet a read posts that he is crap!
City are now good(soon to be great) - it is how we deal with that which will shape our club ,not the riches, in the same way that how we dealt with how we were shit - unlike the newcastles and leeeds.
We were decent on against Liverpool, but the game against Spurs says how far we have come. Getting a result there is harder than beating a mediocre team at home.
As for the Given thing, good keeper, better than anyone in the league bar Reina and Hart, Tough for him but we should do the right thing and try anf keep him.
