United (H) Post Match Thread

[wolviedinho]

I was there mate. We had the right to be pissed at the way the club was being run in those days, we don't now.

The defeat against the rags is nothing to do with how the club is managed. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the people who have taken the club to the highest echelons of Football. Sheikh,KAM,Soriano,Txiki, Pep are all doing a fantastic job but just like a poor transfer we have poor matches and as fans we have a right to reciprocate our feelings.

It is our club after all. I dont get these threads.I respect your opinion but don’t agree. We are not city of the 90s anymore. The mentality must change to match our achievements. For what it is worth I still believe we are a humble, genuine and passionate fanbase. Criticising the team does not make me less of a blue.

No we didn't, if you were there when Bowyer was being booed the club was being run okay then. It was 1969/70 and we were one of the top clubs in the country.

I think you've made your point and others have made theirs. It's the nature of football fans everywhere, go and look at other forums they implode on a regular basis.

Personally it doesn't bother me, it might others.

I agree we have been our own worst enemy in the past, but look at our present it's almost unbelievable.

I thought the matchday thread on Sunday was actually a lot less toxic than usual. I d=idn't see the post match stuff because I dealt with the result by fucking all things football off for 24 hrs and having a self-imposed media blackout. It annoys me that to Pep and the players the derby really does seem to be just another 3 pts while it's cup final time for the rags - role reversal from the 90's which is I suppose a sign of our success.
I'm confident it'll pretty much be back to business as usual for both teams, leaving Ole and the rag fans wondering why their overpaid show ponies only turn it on when they feel like it a couple of times a season. O f the weekends football happenings I'm more bothered about Kane and Bale seeming to hit form just in time for the league cup final tbh

I disagree with you regarding Pep and the players. He has always stressed the importance of the fixture to our fans, but not in a manic ott way. Contrast with Ferguson and now Ole, he cannot even use the word "City", his post match interview was full of phrases using "these","those", "they" and "them" when "City" was the word he should have used. A self-imposed media blackout is sadly necessary because the old adage of "if you have nothing to say, say nothing" is replaced by "if you have nothing to say, say anything". It is not just the matchday thread that has toxic elements, it is in the motm and player performance threads in abundance. Too much of the oft quoted wit has been replaced by shit that has little to do with the football.

Its obvious to me the puppet is getting his instructions from above not to use the word City.
They're still hurting badly.

We all live for this club. And when we lose to that shower in the manner we did on Sunday, it's only natural for people to rant when emotions and tensions are high, particularly without the actual matchday experience as some have mentioned.

Normally after a bad result, you can leave the ground and rant away to whoever's in ear shot and get it all out your system by the time you come home. That's not the case now and so we vent on here. Big deal.

Bringing it up again isn't going to help it pass is it? We're all fully focused on Southampton tomorrow and buzzing at the prospect of Haaland. Forget Sunday, it's done.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

I'm not saying you can't air your thoughts on a forum for discussion mate. I'm questioning the Utter shit that's being spoken about the greatest manager and players we have ever had. It's embarrassing.

The better you are the higher standard you are held to, it was ever thus

You will be accused of wearing blue tinted specs , which couldnt be further from the truth , the Rags will not play to that level for the rest of the season the sad bastards will be dining out on the derby result for weeks , and many amusing t-shirts will be printed for their 659m plastics to purchase.
It will be hilarious if a decent West Ham side went to the Swamp and got a result , rendering all their derby efforts futile.

Yes I see a redux of 2018 when we blew that 2-0 lead and the next weekend, we went to Wembley and beat Spurs and the Scum lost at home to West Brom. Title signed, sealed and delivered.

 

[lasereyes]

That's kind of the point though. We cant respond to adversity, we go down or behind we're pretty much fucked, in the main.

Those mistakes are always there too.

I genuinely fear playing against a side that are actually good.

Bayerns wingers running at Cancelo and Zinchy would give you nightmares for example

Jeez - shudder to think what you'd post if we were actually not ahead by 11 points coming off a 28 game winning streak.

 

[samarasra]

There's nothing embarrassing about showing emotion, especially after losing a derby against a team we know we are better than, but seem to have a tendancy to shoot ourselves in the foot when we play them.

We could have just won the quadruple then in the last game of the season play the rags in some rearranged nothing at stake game, lose and all hell would break loose. Us older long standing Blues hate them with good reason and that's just the way it is

I get all the "In the greater scheme of things it doesn't matter if we win the league, cups etcetera" posts but yes it does. Blues on here still go on about not sealing the title against them when 2-0 up at half time. That's six trophies later and a centurion season under our belts but it still pisses people off and so it should, we wouldn't be Blues if a derby defeat didn't hurt like fuck. Pep and the players can distance themselves and be professional and that's fine but we're fan's and for us it is our hearts and emotion that lead the way.

The match day thread again is just nerves fraying and emotion. We're not at the game so the player's can't hear it. Yes it goes over the top at times, people are screaming a player is shit and the next minute he scores but it is what it is. At the game we'd swallow our disappointment and get behind the players even more to urge them on. We can't do that now so the frustration comes out in rants. If we were doing it at games I'd feel ashamed yes but we're not so no I certainly don't. The day I stop ranting, celebrating,

"There's nothing embarrassing about showing emotion", in general no, but there can be ways of showing emotion that impinge on others mentally and in some situations physically. Too often uncontrolled anger and totally uncontrolled ranting and raving on public forums (anyone can read Bluemoon posts) is excused by the term "only showing emotion". The OP said " I know this is a forum for discussion but some of the slagging off for our manager and greatest ever players has been staggering." intentional or not this didn't solely refer to the matchday thread, and the behavior referred to is not confined to that thread. We all have different ways of feeling the pain of a derby loss, some cry, we used to laugh ironically, some roar , some go into a silent sulk, but some carry it away beyond what a civilised society finds acceptable such as physical or verbal thuggery. How we can show our emotions in private you suggest is different to how we show them in public.
You said " If we were doing it at games I'd feel ashamed yes but we're not so no I certainly don't". Why would someone be ashamed by it in front of K46 fans but not ashamed when it is posted here where any other member or any one who Googles Bluemoon can read it or journalists can quote it to ridicule all our fans, as they have done in the past. I don't want to misrepresent what the OP was thinking about but I don't think it was you or I , "ranting, celebrating, being pissed off and ecstatic all in one ninety minutes" at home in private, but the fact that the behaviour referred to in the OP is being spewed in public and to at least the OP and others is "embarrassing the club". Maybe the Club or the players don't read it and members can choose to ignore it, but why should they have to sift through a gutter infiltrated by what appears to be a few posters, maybe not even City fans, to access what a football forum is designed for, discussing football. CTID,

I think you are absolutely spot on, he clearly hesitated a few times and had to check himself on Sunday and I have seen it happen before when a journo brought City into a conversation. Glad to see I wasn't the only one to spot it.

 

[burning blue soul]

It's a forum. Folk can vent on a forum, to an acceptable extent.
Doesn't bother me much seeing messages from frustrated fans lamenting a bad game. What's wrong with that?
Doesn't matter how many we have won beforehand. I will quote our manager "next game, there is only the next game"
So everything that has gone before is for the history books until the title is won.
I'm not a fan of fans moaning about fans moaning. You have the right not to read it as much as they have the right to moan about it.
Sometimes the "moaners" are telling an uncomfortable truth. Some players do become liabilities in some games; some players are not big moment players; some players do need hooking at half time, and some Managerial decisions are baffling.
Footballers know the emotive industry they are in. They should expect and accept (non personal) abuse by fans.
If you, as a fan, don't like all that the problem could lie with you and not the rest of the stroppy, sulky, self important and partisan delusional fan base that frequent ALL fans forums... ffs, you should read the wife's knitting forum, now that's a crazy place!!!

Now the dust has settled, do the real blues who post regularly on here think that some of the posts have been acceptable? If they have been posted by blag fans or wum merchants then that's another thing, if not it's just plain wrong. If you have spat your dummy out because we have lost one game in 29 and you're a real blue hang your head in shame. If not then why are these imposters allowed to be embarrassing the club with the Utter shit they've been allowed to post. This could end up being the greatest season in our history and we are sounding like a bunch of pathetic entitled twats. I know this is a forum for discussion but some of the slagging off for our manager and greatest ever players has been staggering.

No need for this bollocks of a thread,its pure attention seeking and classic Bigblueitis.....the post match thread would have been a perfect place for your 'thinking'.
It's not up to you tell others how to express their thoughts,emotions or support,so accept everyone is different and,while you clearly don't like it..... have some tolerance for the opinions of others.

 

[samarasra]

I actually think it's alright to be pissed off at three losses and one draw in our last four league games against our United despite our team being far better. They're our local rivals after all and if we reached a point where three losses in four vs them meant no more than three losses in four vs Liverpool I'd be worried.

The OP never said it wasn't alright to be pissed off and I don't think anyone did. The OP's question was "do the real blues who post regularly on here think that some of the posts have been acceptable?" Some of the posts have been way beyond "pissed off" in the opinion of some who can be "pissed off" but have enough self control to avoid unacceptable posts.

Neil Maupay you are a cheat, I hope Brighton get relegated.

 

[Bluekiwi]

Our only weakness that worries me is not having a central Striker who can put the chances away. Should really of been dealt with in last transfer window. Or get Aguero back match fit soon as. Sterling, Jesus and Mahrez let an awfull lot of chances go begging between them.

For some reason beyond my comprehension Pep isn't giving Sergio minutes on the pitch for him to become match fit yet he states that Sergio can play a key part in our pursuit of trophies.

"have some tolerance for the opinions of others." Very wise advice while you show little tolerance for the OP and the question he/she posed and others responded to.

Every tolerance,but it wasnt a question,it was an accusation,and a relevant thread already existed for his attention seeking,as ive explained.
