It's a terrible business. I'm sure if you asked any City supporter they'd be saying the same. Why on earth would we consider ourselves to have achieved anything if we reached the Champions League, or Heaven forbid, won something?
I've enjoyed the last 33 years of relegation battles, the odd foray into the mid-table upper reaches and the occasional Quarter Final, so why would any of us be happy with a change to that? I know I was happier when we failed to score a single home goal from New Year's Day till the end of the season under Stuart Pearce.
I can't believe that anyone would actually need more than two strikers, more than eleven players. It's ruining the game by meaning that such quality youngsters such as Ched Evans can't even make the bench. Whatever happened to the days when teams brought through young players? Can we ever remember City bringing through a young player? We must be the worst in the country for the lack of talent coming through the Academy.
I just feel sorry for the Big Four. All those years of toiling and grafting, building their teams up on such limited budgets only to see some outsider try and challenge the status quo. You've got to feel for them. It's not fair and it's not British.
