    Quality is the most important thing not belief.

    City didn't win the treble last season because they believed. They won it because they had the quality.

    You might win the odd thing now and again on belief but if you are after long term success then it has to be based on quality.

    Acquiring that quality takes time but that point is consistently ignored by so many people who don’t seem to be able to enjoy the journey.

    Some excuses on here ... like I say you've all accepted 2nd place.. it's the losers mentality the club has to get rid of and it costs nothing because it can't be bought.

    The big clubs don't accept 2nd place.

    Of course it can be bought.

    You seriously think Man City had a no.1 mentality before their financial injection? Or even within a couple of years if having it? It took them a long time to experience success on the pitch even with all their cash. NOW, years later, they have a winning mentality.

    I know you are just trying to stir, but you are talking crap mate.

    It did remind me of the cup final last night like, rabbits in the headlights and we weren't our usual selves, there could be some mental block there.

    Having said that, it was away to the best team in the world.

    An interesting reply but I guess you've accepted that mentality isn't bought and I'll wait for the apology that never arrives.

    My mentality is to be able to walk with best, and grow to overtake the best. We're getting there.

    So they why shoot down all responses that don't match what you think, if it's just questions and discussion?

    Firstly I haven't but you have and secondly it's not actually my fault if people answer the questions incorrectly.

    The questions were clear... I happy to hear your views on your mentality aswel though its no big deal.

    People don't like what I said that's all but I never said they were insincere or taking crap.
