The “Not in my Lifetime” Thread

It has been nearly a decade (Sept 2009) since Sir Alex Ferguson uttered that now famous quote “Not in my lifetime” in response to a journalist asking whether the rags would ever be underdogs in a derby.

I think we all know the the answer now.

So it seems appropriate for it to be the flagship quotation for this thread. As we celebrate an unrivalled achievement in being the first (Men’s) team in English football to secure the domestic treble/quadruple feel free to post any comments or quotes from footballers turned pundit, hyper sceptical and bitter journos who over the past ten years and especially since Pep’s arrival, have poured scorn on Manchester City and the aims of our club and owner.

From the “you can’t play out from the back in this league” through to “why do you want a keeper who is is good with his feet” we have watched them all squirm recentlyas the trophy count has mounted and the style of play which has delivered that success has blown people away.

As the Klingon’s say.....”Revenge is a dish best served cold”.

I hope the hacks etc are enjoying eating their humble pie as they prepare their copy for their papers/articles.

Exactly. I saw that yesterday and decided to leave it where it was.

A classic example of “damning with faint praise”. Whoever was tasked to write that clearly did it with reluctance.

Had this been achieved by the rags or the dippers.......they would never have written it in the same way.
 
Essendon, beat Freo just in footy. The Socialists get done in the Elections in Autralia and City do the treble, life can't get too much better can it in one weekend?:love:
I agree with you apart from the Bombers result mate.lol
Freo will get beaten by the wooden spoon the way we’re going.
