Especially now when it's not the same 4 English teams as usual - the amount of publicity for whatever English team makes the CL besides Arsenal, Scum and Chelsea will be huge as well. Our goal is 4th and I'll be dissapointed with fifth personally. Like Zabba said in an interview recently - just hearing the CL-anthem makes you giddy.
In 2003 (i think that was the year, might have been '02!) Liverpool lost to Chelsea on the final day of the season at Stamford Bridge, it meant Chelsea got 4th and Champions League and Liverpool got 5th and UEFA! Just two years later Liverpool won the Champions League!
What I'm saying about being pleased with either 5th or 4th is that we've been complete nobodies for 30 years and onky finished 10th last season - 5th is a massive jump from anything I've ever seen in my 21 years of supporting City and I will be pleased with either and will have the knowledge that things will get better still!
I'm not depserate for CL football like football will end in 5 years, we've got decades of great times ahead and this or next season will soon be forgotten come 2025 when we'll be the biggest and best!
If you have been following them for 21 years you'd know that we finished 5th in 1991. 19 years ago.
Or do you mean that you're 21 years old in which case you can't follow a team until you understand the game.

city shouldnt even be in this race for 4th.we have proven that we can beat the best of teams-chelsea twice this season,but we're dropping silly points to the likes of hull and sunderland. and of course if we hadnt gone on the streak of draws we would be sitting garunteed fourth.

i just dont feel we are as comfortable against the lower teams like spurs are. we havent had that many convincing results bar arsenal and chelsea, which is all fine and well, but we should be dispoing of teams like hull, stoke, burnley and mid table teams more convincingly.
thats the only point i'm trying to make. i'm still undecided

they just seem to keep winning at the moment. They have some very hard games coming up though and we could do with them dropping some points somewhere
They have 13 points from their last 6.
We have 12, so not much on it as far as form goes.
Hopefully Arsenal, Chelsea, Rags and even Sunderland might do us a favour there.

Tottenham have dropped points against Hull and Stoke this season (not to mention losing twice to Wolves), and haven't played Burnley away yet.
It may seem we're the only side that does it, but our rivals are just as bad.

yeh, we've mucked up much more, but youre right that spurs have flopped against these teams aswell. i still fell spurs as the dominant force, however with defoe out for the next 3 weeks it'll be interesting
