I don’t know, maybe because I’m still young and wasn’t around for that era.
But I’ll tell you something, one of my earliest clear memories is is beating Gillingham in ‘99 and since then I’ve always believed that, with the right backing, when the chips are down City will perform.
This has been reinforced (if we ignore the Pearce years) with the title/cup wins, to be honest I think we are underappreciated as a team and our mentality.
Who collapsed when it was their year last time? It wasn’t us. Who collapsed when the entire world told us united would be champions and had a 6 point lead with very few games remaining? Again it wasn’t us. Time and time again we deliver, and yet every day we’re told we are fragile, that we can’t deal with the pressure of leading that pep is a bald fraud whilst simultaneously being told Liverpool have the mentality of champions and have all the ingredients
Us grinding out a win? A sign of pressure/fatigue.
Liverpool doing it? Champion material.
Fuck the media, fuck the other fans. I believe in this team. And even if we do fuck it up, we’ll go again next year.
This is the new age city and we are not going to go away.
P.s not having a go at you, I swear. Just explaining my view on it
yeah it's all good, it's great to have fans with optimism. my pessimistic brand will disappear with time.
