Can some one please give me back the City I love!

[Burf]

and...the wheels are off.

[billythefish]

Prefer the wheels to come off when we are in or around the play offs than in the relegation zone

[Burf]

that's true Billy.

But given the sheer godawfulness of the last 15yrs or so & as an avowed pessimist
I can't help but fear we're going to fuck this up. Can we just not have one season where it goes right ?

Yes we're looking better now all-in-all, & before the 1st ball was kicked in August I'd have gladly taken the
table as it is right now...but that's going to be scant consolation if our form continues to go south & we end up finishing
12th.

[plastic scouser]

There are a lot of clowns calling for TM's head on the other forum....

....Yep, our form has certainly turned to weapons grade shit......but surely we've got to give the bloke the full season.....


....and lets remember, we were "safe" in January......that's not happened since the 1980's has it?


NOT 17th.

[plastic scouser]

This thread should be preserved for future generations of City fans.......cos it may well be another generation or 2 before they witness the high before the low as opposed to the inevitable & uninspiring annual grind towards 17th....

[the boss]

win the next two and its back on, lose the next two and may as well start planing for next season. I think a little luck is all it will take to turn things around.

[Burf]

I think it's going to take more than a bit of a change in luck ,to be honest.

[billythefish]

Not sure what has happened to be fair. There doesnt appear to be a massive change in players but perhaps the lack of a dominant centre half has hindered the team, certainly a good proportion of the goals conceded seem to be from set pieces. Apart from that still dont see why O'Brien was let go and why bring in Henderson and then bring back Fortune from the cold.

All seems a bit dis-organised and no real clear plan but certainly no reason to want to sack the guy. Its the best season we have had in years.

I really hope we can turn it round and sort it out and get into the playoffs but I dont hold out much hope.

[Burf]

we're going to have to get something like 20 - 25 points from our remaining fixtures.
Unless we somehow bizarrely swing back to the 2 pts per game sort of form we were on up to Xmas
then we've no chance. I just can't see that happening. Frankly I'm gutted. Yes it's a better season (well a better half
a season to be accurate ) than we've been used to, but that just makes the collapse worse... I genuinely thought we'd thrown of
the old shackles, but we've just reverted to type.

What an opportunity squandered.

Next season - no Maddison, no Armstrong.... yes, we might get equally good loanees...but we might not.

If current dire form continues into next season I can easily imagine the scenario of being bottom by Xmas & Mowbray
getting the sack.

Can we no just grasp the nettle one season, please?!

[plastic scouser]

I still believe Burf...It may be the weed......ok, its the weed....but I still believe !!

Its in our hands as they say....still got to play 4 teams above us.....

come on....this season ain't over till we lose in heart-breaking fashion in the play-offs.....

[Burf]

anybody else still want's to go on the positive tip ? "well...at least 13th is a higher place finish than usual..." AAARRGGHH


Alternatively I'd suggest we call just beat our heads against the nearest brick wall until we're senseless.

Fuck you, City. This year was a complete kick in the nuts. Harder than ever to take.

[dog rout 21]

I hate being a Cov fan, useless bunch of fucking ****

[billythefish]

I agree with Dogga!

[The Yid]

Bunch of fucktards the lot of them.

[Burf]

so April actually turned out ok... but the damage was already done wasn't it. useless ****.

Meanwhile, just up the M69.....

it's fucking shit being a Skyblues fan. a curse.

[dog rout 21]

Just 5 fucking points of playoffs all those stupid games we should have got something from makes it even worse

And don't even get me started on the billionaires up the road

Oh well, at least there's the inevitable downfall of England to look forward to this summer

[Burf]

I know Dogga. 5. fucking. points. If you ever needed proof that this league is a fucking joke : I mean we basically pissed away almost the entire 2nd half of the season - pure relegation form - & still only just came up short. ludicrous. Just a concerted effort week in week out & you can escape this league easily.

Christ -it really rankles. We should've been promoted automatically this year really, never mind scraping the the play-offs. What a wasted opportunity ffs.

[billythefish]

There is always this year - surely this will be our year.

[dog rout 21]

Fucking hell, bit early Billy, don't want to have to think about those **** until August

[billythefish]

Could be worse mate - all I am hearing about is football at the minute!

Come on Belgium
