You should take a leaf out of Citys management and playing staff...they are like us..happy but not going overboard.
I just dont get fans like you going mental before the 6th number comes in.
Heres some Mancini advise for you John.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has ordered his players to keep calm and carry on as they close in on the Premier League title. "In one game, it can change. It's in our hands and we are playing at the Etihad Stadium. But it doesn't change anything.
"We need to keep our concentration and our good attitude like we have in the last four or five weeks.
"We can talk after Sunday, not today. It is too early."

But the time to celebrate the title is on Sunday evening and then I'm going fucking mental.

Cheers Paddy but none of that explains why such a difference.
Is it because the 1960s were a brave new World for youth, a time of no fear? Was it just the confidence we had in the future? Is this new attitude a result of the Thatcher years that has produced a Thatcher mentality? Is it that life is much more complex now, whilst back then we were much more innocent and naive?
Help!!!!

Carl,
Sorry mate but that was not thee question I was asking Pal. I understand and respect where you are coming from. As emotional being, we are kindred spirits. You expel your feelings one way and I another but it is still emotion.
I was asking why such a massive difference between City fans then and what we have now. The circumstances are almost identical but the fans attitude and reaction to it are Worlds apart.
I an genuinely not being critical Mate. It has bewildered me all season and I would love to know why.

I guess we were happy go lucky back in the day but the fact that we've been incessantly beaten with a Rag stick for so long now, we have developed an inferiority complex. Winning on Sunday will see us overcome that complex and a new attitude will engulf the City faithful imo.

That YOU (and others) have developed an inferiority complex. I just see an old injustice being righted and feel very righteous about it!
