I can remember us winning important games in the lower leagues under Joe Royle, but before or after that the only big games I can remember us winning is the odd derby, mid tournament cup tie, or game v the 'big 4' when all we gain from it is bragging rights. Every time we had a game where we have a possibility to better ourselves, we've cocked it up. I don't count the 2 legged games v Hamburg & rags as wins because we lost the ties so they're only 'half' games ending in failure.
Yesterday we started really well, let in the usual crap, against the run of play goal, setting ourselves up to lose as we always do &...WON. Credit to Mancini & the players for getting the job done & also the crowd for not panicking. It was different than the usual City, gallant loser, type performance.
Could this lead to the change in mentality everyone has been asking for? I suppose we'll see on Wed but I think it can. Certainly if we beat Spurs, the 'typical City' crap may finally be buried & we might start expecting to win these games rather than fearing defeat.
