[Albion] Man City forum

[pocketseagull]

a lot of city fans crowing on twitter. seems a bit um distasteful? like f*ck show the same humility you'd undoubtedly endow had you tonked us six nil.

 

[GT49er]

What a bunch of illiterate morons. I wonder what they did before they thought they'd try being football fans, but without knowing anything about football. Other than that the words 'cheat' and 'fu.ck' are something to do with it.

 

[WhingForPresident]

They are literally a Northern Brighton. Their hardcore is probably even smaller than ours

No matter what they do with their dirty cash, they will always be a little club just like us.

I had a read of that too. Do you remember when City fans were down to earth, through thick and thin types? When did they get replaced by these insufferably entitled dullards? Nothing but abuse for us because we didn't just roll over and let their team of FFP-cheating Galacticos humiliate us. They even accuse us of being dirty when they committed twice as many fouls* and should have had a player sent off.

There's not a lot of self awareness there is there? If one team is allowed to be funded by oil money to the point where they can buy full backs that cost more than other teams' stadiums, it's not very surprising that the resulting matches are not a spectacle of Corinthian endeavour is it? If one team buys success at such a level that others can't compete it's also not surprising that even their own fans don't want to bother to go and watch is it?

Our team turned up today. They were hard working, well drilled and committed. They gave their all against overwhelming odds and pushed it close.
Brighton's fans also turned up and gave the match an atmosphere worthy of the occasion. City fans have to admit that they did not play their part. Those that did bother to come made very little noise. They must all be asking themselves what the point of all this success is. They don't seem to having anywhere near as much fun as they did when they watched Shaun Goater lift them through the lower divisions.

I think it would do them a favour if we ground out a result at the Amex that hands the title to Liverpool. They might start to remember that football is about heartbreak and joy in equal parts. Anyone who had to watch the Harlem Globetrotters week after week, month after month, year after year and didn't eventually want the Washington Generals to win a game would be a borderline psychopath.... or Tim Lovejoy.

* - (Even if we discount all the 'fouls' that Glenn bought on the half way line, they still committed more than us).

Brilliant. I don't think I've ever encountered such an unnecessarily unpleasant bunch of ar*ewipes on any other football forum. Would love it if we denied them the title.

Every Man City fan should read that. Accurate and true. Well done.

Somebody would have to explain what 'Corinthian' meant. And likely 'insufferably'.

Somebody would probably have to explain to them who Shaun Goater was too (along with the concept of 'Manchester City playing in the third tier of English football').

Abaolutely. Wasn't long ago they were absolute no marks. Many of their fans seem to have forgotten that very quickly. Modern football and all its warped riches really is shyte

Their narrative is still the miracle of the 1999 play off final win over Gillingham (Nicky Weaver, Dickov), to where they are now the greatest squad on the planet.

Which air brushes out two inconvenient truths:
1. Convicted criminal, corrupt Shinawatra’s ownership.
2. Mansour injecting £1.3B, and that’s not counting income from the bent non-commercial sponsorship deals.

Some miracle.

 

[Megazone]

agree with above. I used to think City fans were the more down to earth of the 2 Manchester clubs. Looks like they've merged as one.

Imagine winning s semi final and being as miserable as the comments on their forum show.

I can understand it. The season we won League one, we were far too good for that division. We dominated and destroyed a lot of the teams we faced including a team a division above us. It was an entertaining season in the way we as fans could just sit back and admire our dominance over the opposition whilst cruising to the league title. But if that was every year, against those same teams, season after season, I'd probably be just as miserable as they are right now. It must be like turning up to watch a boxing fight only to find you've got a Heavy-weight fighting a Middle-weight for 90% of the season.

Haven't seen anyone mention that they brought £140M on from the bench.

What can you do really.

 

[perseus]

I seem to have been at a different game from the City fans.
16 dives from Brighton players - Anyone other than City fans notice this?

First thoughts:

1) How dare Brighton try and play their way out of the City pressing game and disrupt the City free flowing football
2) Fouls City 13-6. Referee was not conned, defenders trying to make their falling over look innocent; well some were 50-50

They were probably just upset that they spent a load of money coming down (many up) for a demolition job that some sporny upstarts spoilt for them with disgraceful diving and tactics.

Pressing game is not all that it is cracked up to be. If the opposition tries to play their way out of the press, it can be an unattractive disrupted game.

Also, given their previous 'troubles' and the fact they themselves were playing in the lower tiers, they might show some understanding of how far we've come. But no.

 

[Justice]

Attempting to kick off with Brighton after the game funny thing was they were all about 50 years old sad old f.ucks. It was actually funny but yet tragic. Then two grandads went toe to toe waiting for the tube wtf

 

[hart's shirt]

With so many empty seats in the City end, it's not called the Emptihad for nothing.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

And bizarrely neutrals / supporters in general often have a lot of time for ManC.

Perhaps it takes decades for the hatred you see towards Chelsea, Liverpool and ManU, to crystallise?

There is much in what you say,in as much that for years we had 'Dave' from Southend on 606 (bring back Danny Baker !) a life long ManU fan although never goes telling the world how good Fergie and Co are,City are going the same way.

Ah,but Weststander we know that the FA has done a proper fit and person test !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The EPL best washing machine in the world.

Haven't read the forum. Gonna read it later tomorrow. Based on comments here I could just about guess what it says. In contrast to comments here. I don't want Liverpool to win the league. I love watching this Man City team play. I love watching Raheem Sterling play. He has torn every team to pieces in the league this year including Brighton up at the Etihad. But do you know what also happened in this semi final.

He met his match. The first player all season who gotta the better of him . Bernardo not only matched him defensively but Bernardo was even a bigger threat going forward himself. So I tip my hat off to Bernardo . And I say. Sour Grapes to any City fans who ain't willing to concede that.

Sterling will tear more defenders to pieces before the season is out but Bernardo. That guy if he continues to play like that might be playing alongside him in the future

Would Sterling suit our style though?
