Very true.... I must give fell running a go sometime??
Don't feel sorry for us, we had a great time.
Championship is a mad league though.. must be the closest in the divisions.. 55 points saw you one draw off relegation.. 65 points saw you one win from the play offs..
They had to drop eventually.. you can't keep finishing 15th 16th year on year.. sad to see them go..
I don't expect an immediate bounce back, we've at least 55 games next season (46 x league, 6 x EL, 1 x Charity Shield, 1 x FA Cup, 1 x League Cup).
Beckham retires, cue a few days of press hysteria. An above average player whose ability never lived up to the hype. Made a major contribution to us getting knocked out of the 1998 and 2002 World Cups
let's just remind ourselves how little this overhyped guy did in the game

Totally agree.. how many top managers agree with RH?
The simple fact is the worlds best managers have all loved him.. from Fergie, through to Capello, Eriksson and Ancelotti.. they can't all be wrong..
Yeah he had weaknesses but he was also an amazingly hard worker, yeah he's made mistakes too.. but so have most players. But above all he was a top top professional. Look at what he won, look at what Gazza won.. yeah Gazza was the better player but Beckham gave a hell of a lot off the ball.
Daz, I know what you mean, this isn't the City we know and love anymore, but if all his money was going to happen to anybody, i'm glad it happened to us. To be absolutely honest I stopped feeling, in the late 1980s, that supporting City was about wanting to win things. I enjoyed watching Paul Lake, Andy Hinchcliffe and our kids at Maine Road, and came to feel it was just about belonging, a connection with yourself and your roots and trying to have a laugh in the face of adversity. Lets be honest we had become the club where there was no grand epic, no plane crash, no colonising of the prizes and rewards of the Premier League, we just endured whatever life threw at us. We didn't have songs about glory, glory, or marching on, on, on but about standing alone, without a dream in our hearts, about things so awful we had to joke about not really being there, about being steadfast and loyal, for its own sake - till we died. All of which is me trying to provide an explanation for why the takeover by Sheik Mansour feels out of character for all of us....but hang in there matey we've kept the faith for so long now, remember 'We are City, Super City, we are City from Maine Road.
eh? The way city fans have been woe is me this past week is incredible.. you've lost the league, came 2nd... thats all.
