    I’m not all that surprised City beat Spurs. I already kinda accepted that eventuality.

    I don’t begrudge anyone holding onto the hope that City would slip up. It is football. But we’re also talking about the best manager managing one of the best (if not the best) football teams in Europe (we also still have the Hammers?).

    I just want us to finish strong. Then nobody can say how we “lost” the title. We did everything we needed to in the run in. We were just beaten by the bigger guy on roids.

    I think it is still fair to look back and critique the team on results such as Villa and how things could have been different. But if we deal in what-ifs, we’ll still be here next Christmas (it might be a good way to pass the time, actually xD). I mean, look at how many seasons a blistering Liverpool side couldn’t even break through… 1 PL trophy in 8/9 years is crazy. It kinda almost looks bad without context.

    We’re still a young team with a lot more to learn and a lot more to give. I’m looking forward to seeing how the club manages the summer transfer window and how we progress from the standard they’ve now set.

    COYG!

    Apologies for the long write up, kinda been stewing on these thoughts for a little bit. I’ve also lacked the energy at times.

      Yeah I agree with pretty much all you said. Not giving up on that title until the whistle is blown at the Etihad though.

        It would be bloody amazing if that all came to pass. I’m just tempering my own expectations for my own sanity. Then I can’t be disappointed 😅
