I know there will be quite a few who won't like this but I'm not arsed about the CL at the moment, it's just a bit beyond my grasp. To be truthful, I'm so glad that we've had those typical City moments along the way, finishing 5th, the CL etc, otherwise the club may have left me behind. To go from what we had then to what we have now has taken a lot of getting used to and if we'd have rocketed straight to the top I was afraid that the club would lose me.
Thankfully, I'm a happy man and have not lost any feeling for the club I love, mainly due to the cock-ups along the way.
I feel just the way you do about this mate. Especially the euro competitions, at the moment it's just a chance/reason to make a trip to a place where you'd never go otherwise. Win lose or draw I'm just proud MCFC is playing against big European clubs. Maybe I should be not critical with all the investment that has been put to this club but...'mañana'
Give me a premier league game everyday of the week. I prefer the football and the banter within the premier league. Too much play acting and drum banging for my like. Only every really enjoyed the Hamburg game in Europe the rest I don't really have a found memory of. I mean Real Madrid come to town one of the biggest clubs in the world and it's all a bit dull. Their fans were poo.
When the likes of Real come to town you know you've made it. For me it's still a little surreal and to just say we should be beating teams like them seems a little, well, strange. We are there, yes, but to beat them with such an unestablished team?
Gutting as it was, to take them to a point where I was so disappointed said a lot, in both games. There's no shame in that whatsoever.
You're right, the Premier League is where it's at for me. The CL is a side thought that I may get into when we prove dominant in our current league. Having to face the teams we have in Europe as said enough to me that we will not be accepted for a while, that's why I don't get a cock-stand about our form. We know it's rigged for the good of the most sought after clubs, how can I believe it isn't once those games start?
