Premier League 14-17 May + FA Cup Final

Well im back from the pub, im off tomorrow cos off to london for our biggst match in 35 years. It not going to be easy but after so long surly its got ot be our time. Ive been through so much shit watching my team, ive been given so much abuse by our rivals...but this is our chance, its our chance to end 35 years of shit and show the world we are back. No offence but people on here will struggle to comprehend the emotions of just what t will mean to win. Ive spent so much time, money and tears on my club and even if we lose id never change a second of it cos its my team, its what i love, thats what football is all about. Your club isnt just a fade its not just a fashion its something tht belongs to you, its something you love, you cherish, its something you belong too...its something you share with your mates its a feeling of hope, its an escape from your day to day life of work and relationships. Maybe people will read this and think what a fucking loser or what a weirdo, i simply dont care, i love my club so much, its not just a past time its become an every day part of my life...an unhealthy one....well i do support man city so i guess so haha. Anyway, ive always dreamed of singing abide with me at wembley before a cup final and soon that dream will be realised, but my main dream is to see a cup dressed with sky blue and white ribbons, a cup that belongs to us. U*d will win the league, but that doesnt bother me, we are moving forward and i believe we cn go on to so accomplish so many things.
I just hope Saturday is our day, its what ive dreamed of and i dont want to carry on dreaming about it, i just want it to become a reality. Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooome on City !!!!!!

Enjoy your day Goater. I'm going too. It's good to see Yaya Toure used as more than a defensive midfielder. There's so much more to his game than that, which people are getting to see with City. Good luck.

Good luck Goater - hope you win!

Man City have published a 'bluffers guide' on their website so all their newly-acquired glory supporters can pretend to know what they are on about:

Needless to say, their real fans aren't too Goater about this vapid, humourless admission that their club has completely sold out...

Have an awesome one and hope you do it.

Then again, to paraphrase debaser, if the bad thing happens you will personally be held responsible

I have to say i've missed this midtable end of season crawl to the finish line.

Seconded Can I be the first one to predict that Stoke will be flirting with relegation next season after overperforming this season and getting trapped in the vortex that is the Europa League

Have fun! Really hope you do win, I don't want to see Stoke's style of football awarded with a trophy

Some shameful shit going on in this thread. Y'all would honestly rather see the billionaire plaything Man City win this trophy than you would see a side with 10% of the budget win it?

Pathetic. Just because Stoke are a smaller club who don't make it easy on their opponents...

I for one hope Stoke fucking destroy City.

A lot of people claiming Stoke's football is terrible are going on hearsay and following the trend. I've seen Stoke a few times this season and they're capeable of mixing it up. Sure, when Kenwyne Jones starts there's an obvious target up there to launch the ball to. Just as when Caroll plays for us we'll aim to launch it to him. I don't see that as bad football, I see it as an alternative to when you can't pass it through the midfield, sometimes, especially in the Premier League, it's difficult to find space and so a target man up there to control the ball and hold it up is essential.

Walters has been magnificent as well for Stoke. He's a very different type of striker, he likes to get the ball from deep, take on the defender and has a great shot in him.

People wanting City to win is mental really. They hobbled over the 4th place finishing line when they should have sprinted miles past it with the money they spent and the squad size compared to the other challengers. Without Tevez they've got fuck all up front. No surprise to me to see them gaining 4th through an own goal. Silva is the only real gem of attacking quality in the midfield. Yaya is brilliant but is better defensively than offensively IMO.

City have got to this final because they are the only ones who were able to spend an absurd amount to get a squad capeable of competing on several fronts whereas most teams had to sacrifice the cup for league or European involvment. Stoke have got there through sheer hard work and battling as well as putting on a master-class display vs Bolton.

I sincerely hope Stoke pick up the cup.

I don't think it is accurate to say Yaya Toure is better defensively than offensively. This guy can do it all really. He can pass, he can dribble, he can shoot.
