Why we should believe we can win the title

[Didsbury Dennis]

"The more people talk about 'gelling', the more it becomes a perceived obstacle. If it's about 'gelling', then we should have stuck with the team from last season, maybe added one, and said to Mancini, - the target is 4th. Because it was achievable."

A-ha...BINGO.

Most teams that win the league or become successful are built over a few years..The rags, Barcelona, Spain, Germany. Do you see a pattern? You can't just replace the first team every summer and think you've cracked it. It's a process that takes years. Before Barcelona and the rags won the Champions league they reached the semi's the year before, and they both did the same with the league titles, through a process of trial and error, being able to build consistency over a period of time.

The only manager who was able to gel a team of new signings over a period of two seasons was Mourinho at Chelsea, and the majority of that team are still together. Now, I like Bobby Manc as much as the next man, but he aint Mourinho, and Yaya Toure isn't Michael Essien and Tevez isn't Drogba.....

We should have built our team around core players like Stephen Ireland and Richard Dunne and then added quality strikers, wingers and fullbacks where required. That's what all the best teams do, cause if you loose your heart you're finished. When the muck and bullets are flying, where was Robinho? Is Ballotelli going to be any different? I don't mean to rain on your trophy parade, but Ireland + cash for James f**king Milner? MON must be laughing his bollocks of. I don't rate him one bit. If he comes he comes...meh

bridge is good , no fcuk it we have to get kolarov ... ah shit we have to gel again .toure(lescott?) looks rock solid , are you serious we need to get someone like boateng but oh shit we have to gel again so drop it.

ohh and sorry to break your bubble , drogba isnt tevez .

Chelsea built a team around Lampard and Terry, it's still the core of the team. Barca did it with Puyol, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, the rags with Scholes et al.

Gotta keep your core players together, not flog em to Villa for peanuts.

Are you seriously putting Dunne into Terry's class? Who else? Ireland in Scholes or Iniesta's clas?

I BELIEVE!!

Are you a rag, or just lacking in imagination? Have you not seen the rags 'believe' campaign that has been going on for the last 3 years. They even have it on the inside of their new kit. It's the wankiest thing evoh. Is this a wind up?

9 posts, and you're dishing out insults? I suggest you wind that Celtic neck in pal...your contribution to this thread btw, stinks to high heaven and back of ragginess...

Oooo forgive me for telling the truth on an internet idiot board. I've been taking both my lads to watch City for 10 years. If I see any daft 'believe' posters I'll wipe my arse on them. What next from you? Green and gold scarves, the theatre of dreams, maybe you should paint the seats red?

That's about the level of your brain activity.

Hahaha! You're a feisty little woman aren't you?

I guess you don't want to take my advice about winding your neck in. Please don't say I didn't warn you...

Oh, and if you're a City fan, I'm Carlos Tevez.

Enjoy your stay. It's going to be short.

Yes, players that will run through walls for city. Put it this way, would I rather see Ireland lining up against us or Jame Milner? And Dunne is better than Kolo. You know this.

So let me check if I get you right.

You're a long time City fan who has been taking his kids to watch City for 10 years?

Yet you dont think City fans should believe we can win anything. Or that this is a website full of 'mongs' and you will 'wipe your arse' all over anyone who actually believes City can win something?

You're such a pleasant chap I would like to meet you and buy you a pint.

What you taking about? You put Dunne into Terry's class. That is completely ridiculous. And im not even wasting time explaining why. Can't be arsed conversing with someone with no football brain. I like Ireland. I like him more than Millner actually. But he's not in the class of Xavi, or those players you referred to. The point about keeping players as a core is a fair one, (IF THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH). This post was about believing we can win the title. I would certainly be posting an alternative 'dont fckin believe we can win the title' if we still had Dunne.

I'm pretty surprised that anyone is even entertaining this inbred undercover rag...

And you're the one who wants to start a "Believe" campaign. There are other words in the english dictionary you know. I am a pleasant chap BTW, but telling people to wind their neck in for pointing out the plainly obvious only shows that you haven't really thought this idea through. Maybe I have saved you a little embarrassment, so you should be thanking me?

C'mon the hoops
