We have one of the most negative fan bases in football

I think forums are the worse places to judge a fan base. Keyboard warriors with better minds than the coach and the staff etc. Personally think Pep is a great manager and will bring us silverware galore and can't see why people are so concerned about us already. It's been TWO FRIGGIN GAMES GUYS!
 
This forum has gotten worse over the last few years in regards to negative posters. The problem is it's the same ones constantly repeating themselves over and over so it probably seems worse than it is.
 
Doesn't this thread just demonstrate what City fans are like? It started with a moan about ........er, moaning. Moaning is one symptom of that terrible affliction Cityitis. And don't we just love it. We moan to 'shout at the devil' .....we expect to cock it all up at some point, so, instead of going all Liverpoo (we're gonna win this and we're gonna win tha') we moan in advance of the coming disaster. We're Mancs, ffs, it's what we do. Was there ever such an ironic name as 'Joy Division' . That's Manc.
But, just once in a blue moon, it's goes right and, by God, we make a noise. AGUEROOOOOOOOOOO ! That's Manc, too. And we keep coming back for more, because we really care more than we will admit. That's Manc.

The amount of negativity from our fans about City at the moment is absolutely staggering, and during a time where we're literally living the greatest era in the club's history.

I can think of only Arsenal at the moment where the fans talk about their own club with such distain. I rarely ever see or hear United fans talk about their club with the venom and malice which has developed amongst a large section of our support. I've never heard a United fan say a bad word about Mourinho since he joined.

You think all those negative media articles and news stories have no impact but they do. They create a mood of negativity, something which festers in the back of the mind. It means you'll be set alight more easily at the slightest mishap or mistake.

The club isn't perfect and it never will be. They make mistakes and they will make mistakes in the future as well. I find a lot of the problems I have about City are the results of my problems with elements of modern football. We're not alone with a lot of our concerns about prices, corporates, fan engagement etc.

Unfortunately it seems that some of us have become professional Manchester City critics rather than Manchester City supporters.

People can't wait to have a moan about the slightest thing, and it's sad. I even saw people on this forum yesterday saying we've had a shit transfer window yesterday after we've spent £200 million+ on several top class players. Some plonker on Twitter saying we've ruined Denayer's career because we made him sign a contract and then loaned him out. The only reason he's not better than Van Dyke right now apparently.

Comments like this after the CL draw "Forgive me for not jumping with glee at not being in a group of death, but I'm still not convinced Pep knows his best XI from game to game" - After we've played 2 matches with 1 change where the number 1 left back is out injured. How on earth that could be your instant reaction or thought to a CL draw is well beyond my way of thinking.

The way some of us speak about the manager, players and people behind the scenes is frightening. It's almost hatred and resentful at times. Every mistake by manager, player or club isn't an excuse to go straight for the throat

The bottom line is that if you're not happy now then you will never ever be happy.

This is the most positive I've ever known our fanbase to be and 90% of the people I know don't take a blind bit of notice what the media says about us, that's just for the needy fuckers who hang on their every word in the hope that they will say just one good thing about us, the sad fuckers need to wake up. They are thin skinned and laughable and are an embarrassment to our fanbase. We used to be the most thick skinned, cool, not arsed fanbase around.

Other than that though we've never been more upbeat!
 
Think of everything our women's team have won the last couple of years. How good they have been.

This is after we lost a friendly yesterday.

 
The reason why this place seems like it's full of moaning ****s is because people are more likely to be vocal when they're unhappy. It's basic psychology. If we win today the post match thread might be 30 pages. If we lose 3-0 it could reach three times that amount by tonight. If you get upset by others moaning this isn't the best place for you

Rob Hawthorne that.

Has a soft spot for City as he was the football league commentator for Sky during our time in the lower leagues. Did the play off final as well and always talks about 'Cityness'.

But Mourinho will screw the maximum number of points for you. It might not be good to watch, and they might lose the odd game but at the end of the season yer can say that he has got yer the most points that were possible in the circumstances.

Three opening matches for us, and it should be nine points. Looks like we might just get better than half! It's just not good enough!
