I thought I was negative

but some people put me to shame.

I've seen posts from people saying they hope the scoreline isn't embarrassing, that we have no chance, that they hope we don't lose by more than 3, that even if they dropped players they'd still beat us etc

And that is before any of us have seen our lineup, their lineup, how up for it we are, how up for it they are, how we play on the day, how they play on the day or how fair the ref is. On our day we can beat ANY club in this country, history has shown us that. On an off day for man city they are absolutely awful too. We might lose, we might draw but we might win and I don't see any reason at all to be scared of man city.


If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
