Your yardstick is Man Utd; after spending as much as you have, do you think United would be satisfied with second?Originally Posted by Danbert Nocurry
You personally have been saying we're in terminal decline for 3 seasons now yet with an apparently senile manager, we've won the league twice whilst MCFC have bottled it twice. Factor in Aguero, Tevez and Balotelli leaving this summer and your squad starts to look shaky.

Rubbish.
This is the best city team since the 1967/68 team
we are second with 6 games to go
we have a + 50 goal diff
we have had a great season
we are building a one billion pound training complex for the future
we are only at phase two of the project.... three to go
its difficult to win the league and we are still in our infancy in competing with the big boys.
Our time will come and you know it.

How are you still in your infancy?
Your squad is as experienced as United's.. your average age is greater.. Take away giggs, scholes and ferdinand and you probably have more titles.. when you spend 300 million you are in direct competition with the big boys.. you buy players with experience of competing at that level.. A league winning manager.. assistant manager..
There's a fat journalist in the mirror saying Beckham is finished at the top level.. they've been saying this for 4 years... he keeps proving people wrong.. eventually.. inevitably he will be finished and he can say 'I told you so'..
All teams have good and bad periods.. the fact is that we've been hearing that Fergie and United's current successful period is over since selling Ince in 1995.. then we lost Cantona... then we lost Schmeichel... then Wenger created the invincibles..then Roman and Mourinho came in...then we lost keane.. then our core of young players got old... Then City got their money.. then we lost Tevez and Ronaldo... you've got to admire the consistency of these people..
It'll be a great relief when after almost 20 years, probably more, United do have a bad period.. they can finally go.. 'see I told you do..'..
Oh what pleasure it will be to for us wrap up the title at the city ground.. I don't think it will happen, but I can hope. It will probably be the end for Mancini, which I think is unfair considering the tosspots he has playing for him.
When Fergie let Tevez go, how many people from Man City were berating him? Thousands!!
Fergie knows best, nearly always..... he does on some occasions get it wrong, but it is uncommon. Yes I would have preferred to keep Gerard Pique before anyone starts coming up with names.
If you're not running fast enough, walk instead!!
Pique was different.. at the time Rio and Vidic were dominant and fit.. with a few years left to play.. had he been here 2-3 years later we'd have given him enough game time for him to slowly adapt and play in the english game.. but off no game time he couldn't get a game against 2 of the best in the world.
A happy squad is a healthy squad and sometimes you have to let young players go, I'd have rather we sent him on loan but once Barca knocked offering game time we had little choice..
I hope we keep Pogba..
Good news for Forest fans, I didn't realise they were back in the Premier League..
Look at where I'm from, it's not Robin Hood country mate!!:thumbup:Good news for Forest fans, I didn't realise they were back in the Premier League..

...ah but the City Ground is definitely in 'Robin Hood' country.
Okay then.. if you want to be fussy, City's ground!...ah but the City Ground is definitely in 'Robin Hood' country.
