Would you prefer to be s**t again?

It's not just City that have changed - the whole football world has changed since we used to stand on the Kippax. And as in most things in life you decide whether to embrace change or carry on living in the past. The memories,good or bad,will always be there,but no way would I want to go back to being embarrassed by Stockport,Lincoln,Halifax etc

It's amazing how many human beings fail to embrace change, in many walks of life. Society and ideas are constantly shifting, changing totally in generations of time. We live through it. Literally.

I think it applies to football. There are parts of me that miss the old city, but I'd never go back.

It's been an issue in our fan base for a while.

did we really have a say in both in being shit or very good

yes its the football club i love and will never change and support to my last breath. but in reality we have little to none choice on who owners are or what happens on the pitch unless we go tits up and drop out the leagues. even than we still would have little say so being shit or winning silverware its still my club manchester city

It did feel like closing the book when the Ageuerrroooo moment happened, from then city just hasnt been city to me.
For many reasons i dont really care as much about city as much as i used to. I got rid of my season ticket a season ago which would of been unthinkable a few years ago, theres just a lot of other things that i enjoy over city now so couldnt justify it.
Im glad we are doing well and i would take that over being shit any day, but to me being shit was what we were about!

Why does that season feel like the height of everything ? It's like I held my breath the entire time and when it was over it was the biggest relief. I've never felt the same since then and I can't understand why

Things will never feel the same again, it's the only time that I'm glad I wasn't young when I experienced it

Everyone gave everything they had that season. I still feel like it could never be topped.

Person in having rose tinted view of past shocker. It's human nature to look back and remember the good times whilst filtering out the shit. It doesn't mean those times were better.

Near on 40 years every big club in England seemed to have their time and it seemed like we were the odd ones out, apart from 81 when I was a boy anyhow we never got close. Even much smaller clubs fluked a fa cup semi or even final. It was tragic how we could underperform for so long and not even get a break. That was the pinnacle for a lot of us
