Is The Transition Too Hard To Make?
Tuesday, December 8th, 1998 – Manchester City lose 2-1 at home to Mansfield Town in the Auto Windscreens Shields Trophy in front of Maine Road’s lowest ever crowd, an embarrassingly low 3007 people.
Sunday, May 9th, 2010 – Manchester City draw 1-1 away at Upton Park, home of West Ham United. The draw completed a season where City broke countless records, including their highest ever points tally in the Premier League, as well as their highest ever league finish in the same competition.
Which one do you prefer? The obvious answer would be the second scenario, but it’s almost as if for some Blues being stuck in the 3rd tier of English football, struggling away to the likes of Wycombe was a more enjoyable experience all round.

It is the ‘new’ generation for the most part that complain and moan when it comes to not winning 3-0 everytime we step out on to the field; they have not seen the suffering we have suffered or experienced.
ReplyDeleteFor those who are not new, and fall into the above, then they should be ashamed. Yes, I understand that the wait has (is) been painful, but our time will come. These things take time, and a part of me is actually grateful we didn’t get into the CL this time around, on the basis that it would have been too much, too soon and would have been detrimental to our growth.
