Spot on grob. Harsh truth but thats what it is. The game was fairly even for 60 minutes but then in the final 30, when you'd expect us as the home team needing to win to push on, we got weaker and Spurs got stronger and we didnt muster a shot.

Our midfield needs a box to box player instead of two defensive role players. Up front, once again and far too often in the last 6 weeks, our front players contributed next to nothing. Tevez, Adebayor, Johnson, Bellamy, SWP and Santa Snooze collectively in the time they were on the pitch didnt work the Spurs back 4 nearly enough, end of.

False dawn number 223 is over, and after 3 injury time defeats to U***d, a semi-final loss and again another big game where we fluff our lines I'm starting to wonder if its ever going to turn our way. I'm only 39 and been going for 33 years so maybe I'm asking too much?

Heard a lot of fans on the radio leaning on the analysis that our side has just been thrown together and it takes time. Well AFTER our takeoever, Shitknapp took over a Spurs team bottom of the shop on 2 points and has since taken them to a Cup final, and FA Cup semi-final and got them in 4th spot ahead of us building a team in quicker time than we had.

Bottom line is we need some players who are going to man up and win one of these bug games for us, U***d (3 flops), Hamburg (flop), and once again tonight another epic kick in the nuts for us to absorb. Its high time we took a step forward and won a game we HAVE to win, instead of hiding behind excuses of "its a new team" or "look where we were 11 years ago" - we should never have been in that league in the first place, so to cite a season in the third tier as a constant measure of how much we've improved simply limits our ambitions as a club.

I'm off for some alcohol, lots of it and definately need a break from the consistent build up and then let down City put us through.

Simply have to agree with everything you say although a lot of the key players at Spuds were already there


Spurs might have been in a shit position when Redknapp took over, but they have had a better squad of players than us for quite a few years. Only because Ramos lost the plot was the reason they fell down the table, yet he still won the League Cup with them.

We are a year or so behind in development compared to Spurs. We progressed under Sven, but Hughes wasn't capable of building on that so we fell backwards. This season we have made progress, and that will only continue.

Mancini has improved us defensively and that has to be the base point of building a good side. Hughes' gung ho attiude might be good enough for a lower league side but not for a team with Champions League ambitions. A summer with Mancini will allow us to remove the weaker players in our squad and add to the many talented players we already have.

We are likely to finish 5th this season, our highest finish since 1992. That is a great season and one which almost all City fans would have accepted at the beginning of the season.
