So true. We had a fan called Stan near us (he was a legend) who said Bell was not fit to lace Doherty's boots and the atmosphere at Maine Road wasn't a patch on Hyde Road!In the days of the old Kippax, there were always a group of old codgers standing at the back complaining about everything like...that Neil Young, not a patch on Doherty....bloody get stuck in etc. etc.
I like to think we have an 'intelligent ','informed' fanbase .
I like to think we have an 'intelligent ','informed' rather than brainwashed ,unquestioning fanbase . That distinguished us as fans from others (rags) and yet some now see it as a threat.
You must sit in a different part of the ground to the one I sit in.
Comments from the Everton game:
"Guardiola you f*cking fraud"
"F*ck back off to Spain you arrogant prick"
"Sterling you run like a f*cking <insert homophobic insult here>, you useless tw*t"
And so on. And on.
I was in 102 and had some guy slag off sterling every time he touched the ball. After he scored though like you said, started singing his name.I was sat in a different seat saturday. East lower, as I had some friends wanting to see a match.
After 10 mins, about 5 season ticket holders, all middle aged, started calling city players at will. Far from your intelligent fans, Sterling was "shite", among the "greedy bastards" we're Aguero and sane. "Fukin useless" was Otamendi".It went on and on until we scored. Sterling became top of the league. Sane a brilliant crosser etc etc.
And yes I am old enough to remember Neil Young being a "lazy so and so". I guess every club have these fans. I can only conclude it is their way of letting steam off at the end of the week, just wish it wasn't by abusing our players..
Thats a fucking disgrace,probably the type who thrives on us actually playing poorly or actually losing for the sole reason to complain and be abusive.You must sit in a different part of the ground to the one I sit in.
