10-Man City

I know their fans are due some pleasure, after years and years of playing 2nd fiddle to their neighbours, but........

their euphoria has turned into boredom the last 2-3 years. I saw fans yawning yesterday (when most football fans would be totally ecstatic). At Wembley there were Sons taking it all for granted while Dad was texting home (mind you, they were probably telling Mum they'd soon be back home in Surrey - "Get the champers in the fridge. We'll show our ManU neighbours how to celebrate!").
Even the Moss Side diehards would prefer a return to the old days, when success meant something more than having an Owner richer than Abramovitch.

I know how to give them something to really cheer about (if the Football Authorities won't do anything):-
......City could start with 10 men in every game (9 for Cup games). Their fans would love it when they still did the Double/Treble!
Start every day off with a smile and get it over with

Yep, it's the other side of the coin from us fans who get fed up because we'll never see our club win a trophy. The boredom of scarcity vs the boredom of satiety. For each big team there probably is one elusive thing they'd still like to see - e.g. Liverpool to finally be Premier League champions, City to win the Champions League - but there's a lot of it I suspect they just don't care about anymore.
