Team Spirit

Postby Niall Quinns Discopants » Thu May 05, 2011 6:46 am

http://www.teamtalk.com/manchester-city ... -challenge

AJ talks about being out of the title challenge but says something interesting.

A lot is made about us not being a close group and all this sort of stuff, but I've not been in a better dressing room for banter and the lads knitting as one.

Is it actually possible that the team is gelling and despite constant media comments our lads are actually tight knitted group? Or is it just usual chinwag that doesn't mean anything?
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

After NDJ scored last week I would say we have a good idea. Also Mario dicking about with Edin after burnblack etc.

i saw that a couple days ago. I believe him. Granted he hasn't been in too many dressing rooms, but stil, his point is that things are pretty healthy, fun and engaging with each other. Me likey.

there is so much positivity in my mind about City right now...i'll need a lie down and a shoulder rub from John in a moment just to try and make sure i'm okay.

cheers

Nothing like a derby win and a final appearance to bring a side together.

I don't think you can gauge team spirit properly in the midst of the euphoria of a semi final win at Wembley against the scum. If the players aren't seriously happy and celebrating with each other at a time like that it is never going to happen.I like to look at times before games and when things haven't gone so well to see what the body language is like and how they interact then.

Having said all that and privy as I am to watching training I would say team spirit is very good at the moment.I don't see any signs of anyone being a little on the outside or any cliques that keep themselves to themselves.

That bootleg of Rick Astley/Nirvana is fooking brilliant haha! Does anyone else think Rick Astley looks like a 12 yr old boy in parts of that video?
