I think we'll get 12 points over the next 5 games hopefully! Id really like to say we'd take 3 points from Arsenal but after yesterdays performance I think it will be a tough match!

Just nipping back to my "We can win 'em all" post earlier...Do I really believe it?...Yes Mate!...and why not?
We are more than capable of beating all those teams (including the rags, at the swamp).
Whether we will or not, is another matter, but on a match to match basis, we can do this. I wonder how many looked at the group of games, thought similar to me, then knocked a point off here and there "just because of past levels of expectation"?
This a a brave new World...with a brave new City. We start with a blank sheet and a squad that is the equal of any in the League. For all those who think we can't, "WHY NOT"?

Their only reason for this belief is their trust of taggart and a confidence in a weakened squad based on what has happened in the past. Their consideration of why City must fail has more to do with "City never win anything" than any analysis of the present situation.
I constantly speak with city fans who have the reverse mentality. I can see no reason why we don't have as good a chance as any other team. I refuse to allow disappointments of previous years to taint my present thinking. The same way as I feel they are arrogant to think their recent history affects the reality of the present.

10 years ago, losing to Stoke at half time. The crowd came alive, cheered and chanted, got behingd the team. The whole energy of Maine Rd changed. The team were lifted. It was the moment when Joe Royle noted the "penny had dropped" and the season changed.
The Kop was worth a goal to L'Pool in the 60s. That is a weapon they seem to have discarded.
Summerbee noted that players "visibly wilted" when they had to play along the Kippax touchline.
In the piece by Henry Winter (posted by Ant), Stephen Ireland makes it clear that the City fans at Ewood Park fed the team with energy, on Sunday.
Our fans' mentality IS VERY IMPORTANT, It is crucial that we dump the previous years' emotional baggage and create a new positive vehicle on which to ride to future success.
Can we win the next 5 games?...YOU FUCKING BET WE CAN!!!!!

Remembering that L'Pool only lost 2 games all last season, getting only a two thirds points return is not good enough to win us the League.
We must start to pressurise the others from the start.
