Right, so you didn't expect that we would win the title as you thought Mourinho would pull Chelsea over the line. Yet you don't think its not unrealistic to expect us to win the league and a cup as well.
Solid logic there.

Nearly everyone was saying that the title winner would either be City or Chelsea. I don't think it is unreasonable to say that anything other than winning a title would be a failure for City/Pellegrini.

pulis or poyet for mine.
I expected one of you to win it (and both to go close), Mourinho ended up underachieving, so then City should be the clear frontrunners to win it
I definitely tipped City to win one of the domestic cups, but that's so unrealistic
The playing squad that gets most heavily invested in should be winning more stuff, that's solid logic. It's like the block, if someone has a budget of 300k to build a room and another has 5000, you'd expect the 300k one to build something better. Anyone who tries to spin and play that down is the one who isn't really adhering to logic
I've never seen a supporter of a "big" club play down expectations of his own team as much as moomba. Anything won should just be seen as a bonus. I get that supporters don't want to come off as appearing arrogant but this is ridiculous.
No expectations to get out of the Champions League group, no expectations to win a cup, no expectations to win the league. You want the money, but no expectation. You could finish 5th and probably explain it away as "at least we didn't get relegated".

If logic means that you have an expectation to win a league and cup double, as opposed to thinking we have a chance at winning things, or hoping we win things then I hope I never get logical.
If logic is tipping Chelsea for the league, and then saying that it's not unrealistic to expect City to win a league and cup double then I'm happy to be illogical.

I certainly see anything won as a bonus. Not that long ago my dream for City was to see us play a game at Wembley before I die.
And FWIW I thought getting out of the Champions League groups was a minimum expectation for this season. I hoped we would win the league, and maybe even a cup run. But I didn't expect anything, and I hope I never become that sort of supporter.

You tipped Chelsea to win the league, Spurs (I think) to win the league cup and Arsenal to win the FA Cup.
But you are rarely logical, so it's not hope anymore, it's reality
If you spend more than anyone else to assemble your playing roster then you have a far bigger chance than anyone else to win those things. And if people decide to expect the one with the biggest chance to win it to win those things, then it's just common sense, basic maths, normal logic
I tipped one of you for the league and both to go close, and thought Mourinho would pull Chelsea over the line, but the man ended up being vastly different to what he used to be, so the one I expected to go close suddenly wins it, how is that out of the realms of logic?
You are pretty happy to be illogical, that's why you are sprouting SM level delusions atm
You do not represent the rest of the population

OK. I'm illogical for not expecting us to win a league and couple double. If you say so.
Are you seriously citing your bias partial opinion as a barometer for everyone else?
You're the one who said "anyone who expected a team to win a cup double are unrealistic", turns out you're wrong on the anyone part, so now you've narrowed it down to yourself. Bit of backpedaling going on

Erm, the guy in the picture
If that response was meant to be clever then I think that failed as well

Are you pissed?
I was replying to someone that made a comment about my expectations. Never claimed to represent anyone else.

I don't know what the **** you are on about now.
Absolutely, anyone that goes into the season expecting to win multiple trophies is unrealistic.
You certainly didnt expect us to win multiple trophies which makes your comments even more hilarious.

So where have I claimed to represent the views of anyone there?
Just another standard day on Big Footy.
