I am sure that the Man City thread on RAWK has been mentioned - but I really would recommend a visit for anyone that has a few mins of their life to throw away and has a morbid interest in psychology and would wish to observe the behaviours of cults.
CITY have really got to them and the delicious thing is that they are soooo desperate to deny that.
There is page after page of posts of them competing with each other to state in the most extreme way just how much they do not care about CITY and why that is.
100s of posts screaming about us being a nonentity and that anything that we win does not bother then because it is worthless etc. etc.
They clearly do not teach irony in scouse land - the more they deny that we matter to them - the more it shows that we clearly do.
Really is worth an occasional visit to drink in their desperation - they hate being referred to as dippers - so all the more reason to do it.
Here is a couple of examples - from the many available;
"Said before but worth repeating, I don't think they were all that "nice" a club at all in retrospect. They were just the beaten down ugly duckling football club of their city and they'd just learned to 'know their place'. They knew their limitations and had just accepted that they were probably always going to be a bit of a yo yo club - at best a stepping stone or feeder club for the big boys.
Since they got lucky they've been like the little nerd in school who always gets his face pushed in by the bullies, who suddenly gets super powers. All that bitterness that even they probably hadn't realise they had has come out and they've turned into complete tw@ts. They desperate to kick sand in the faces of everyone they feel used to do it to them. They've had almost their entire existence feeling patronised and now they just want everybody to adore them.
It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic."
and :
"But seriously, this City thing is depressing. We would have the league clinched by now if it wasn’t for their blatant cheating. We’re having close to a perfect season and if we still don’t win, then what is the point in trying? It’s even worse that nobody cares. If the cheating club would have genuine fans then you could take some consolidation in that a group of real fans would experience happiness and joy. When no one cares, like with City, it’s even worse. I wonder if the sheikhs even know the rules of football."
They are obsessed with CITY and that in turn makes them more and more bitter to express that we do not matter
After all they are a 'proper' club and we need to know our place. - LOL
