I've had to put up with all of this, plus Rangers.
Can't wait for this season to end, only thing that can redeem it slightly would be for Buffon to get his hands on the cup with the big ears.

I feel the same. I get the annoyance of people who support clubs who aren't billionaires with fantastic players everywhere, but supporting a big club just changes the dynamic of support completely. I used to enjoy supporting City so much more when we were ****. Losing didn't hurt as much because you 'expected' it and winning was much more enjoyable because you didn't. Now every game is just depressing and there's so much less joy in it. It's probably why I care way more about CL matches involving City over the PL fare, as we're usually the underdog.

You've been talking in your sleep and sleeping in your dreams with some sweet ..... damn, wrong thread.

Less than 5 minutes in and already a nonce rolling around the floor - ****ing bunch of wimps.
Is it worth it for winning things though?
Being a Brentford fan in the last 4 or 5 years (apart from the Trotta penalty, which is pretty much the worst thing ever) has been ridiculously good, we play the sort of football we would never have thought possible and consistently more than hold our own in a league that has some teams on (relatively) huge budgets. Imagine a team like Bournemouth is still hugely fun to support, hope it is where we are going to end up.

Was that the penalty missed in the last minute of the last day that would have sent you up as champions?
Would have gone up in 2nd but yep that is the one. Doncaster went up the other end and scored and did become Champions.
It all worked out in the end and some people like to say it was better in the long term, but they all secretly know that it was awful and always will be.

The Premier League is garbage.

Liverpuddle are 3rd and are wretched. City can't defend, Utd can't score. Arsenal ...... just ....... can't.

It is when you're actually winning. Seasons like this, however, are not particularly. There's literally been nothing to enjoy as a City fan since the comeback against Monaco (which is around 10 weeks ago). Pretty much every game since then has been depressing.

It would be interesting to know if City's owners are happy with the results of their input so far. I know they've done a lot behind the scenes and are (allegedly) in it for the long term. But a couple of League titles scraped on the last day of a season and a couple domestic trophies coupled with abject failure in Europe wouldn't satisfy a lot of owners with their megabucks.

Their owners' main goal right now is probably to break down antitrust rules rather than immediate sporting success, keep expanding the football group.
Decent chance they'll succeed too, ally with Chelsea and Red Bull for the corporate variant of a class action suit.

For the money spent on transfer fees, City's squad is really, really bad.

What about that one we watched in the pub?

It's so fixable though. Like they've got the amazing forward players and just need a vaguely competent back five. Then at the same time one or two of their really good young players will probably make the leap. Jesus is basically there already, it's an absolute joke how good he is.
