...apart from the posters on here who said on another thread that they'd prefer we stayed in the Championship. No doubt they are praying that we don't get a striker in on loan

I said id rather see us be a top team in the championship winning most games rather than finishing 17th season after season getting pummelled week in week out and only staying up by the skin of our teeth every year which was the original question. I like to see good quality players and football but not at the expense of our club, and I go to most games so extra coverage wouldn't make a great deal of difference. Surely you'd rather see your team be a top winning side rather than gaurenteed cannon fodder?

but its only good seeing them win because it gets you closer to geting out of it, if there was no prize at the end of it, whats the point in the wins? they become meaningless...

I thought we'd hijacked the thread into a conversation about whether Barmby's decision and comments on air about not having even looked to see who (strikers) was available during January was a good idea or not, then it kept coming back to people talking about sacking him now being a bad idea.
 
I haven't posted for bit and just felt the need to question why anyone would give this Burgess bloke the satisfaction of rising to the bait.
In all fairness I haven't read half of the posts.
 
City's problem has always been that we don't score enough goals, good defence and midfield, just lack the firepower. We so need a striker who is going to put them in regularly, but we don't have. But I don't want Barmby out either.

That thread you mention was when the OP painted a hypothetical scenario, where for 5 years the club could either play form football in and around the top 6 but never getting promoted from the Championship , or playing whipping boys in the PL and scraping 17th for 5 years.

He also took the financial variable out of the equation. That left the question "would you rather see us lose more then we win, or win more then we lose. The question never was what do you prefare Championship or PL?

It's generally a good positive feeling from winning, notice how it can affect your mood for the week? The question was finishing 17th in the prem season after season so your not getting anywhere then either, no prize and again the wins are meaningless. So the question was would you rather be a poor team in the best league getting battered by the best teams every week, or a great team in a not as good league beating teams of similar and much worse quality every week - if whichever you chose had to stick. I know what I'd choose.
 
I think Barmby will be the right manager for City in the long run but as a new inexperienced manager some early misjudgements are likely to happen.....give him time
 
I don't know if anyone else is sick of seeing the disrespectful title of this thread every time you open the thread list.
Seeing as it seems to be a view held by only one deluded attention seeker can't one of the mods change the title to 'moronic thread' or something equally fitting?
 
<applause><cheers> Very apt too!
In the words of Echo and the Bunnymen:
Froze to the bone in my igloo home,
Waiting for the day when the ice turns green.
 
I found that I got in a bad mood more when we lost in the EPL by the odd goal or late on in the match. I think it must have been due to the fact that to win in the EPL is harder than it is in the Championship.
 
Is this snow likely to melt a bit today?

I'd like to get out at some point without wheelspinning all over the car park.
