Utmost respect to a great man and our best ever manager. Long may it continue. The best thing about our whole football club.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;

but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,

and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

A great quote that I think I recognise from my time teaching American Studies... Theodore Roosevelt?

You lot seem to have very short memories. I guess that's par for the course for footie fans.
his ineptness got us relegated, his European journey fell at the first hurdle.
everyone was calling for his head not too long ago, but cos we won against a mediocre Wendies side - all of a sudden he is the messiah?

Christ almighty it could have been Gordon ****in Bennett. We're talking football here, not state of the nation, WWIII, nuclear bleeding holocaust. SB's done his best, he might go he might stay, the world won't end, it'll just be different like always. City will do a bit of ok, a bit of not so ok, we'll moan, complain, praise, worship from one season to the next. It's what following City's all about.
