Have many of our “fans” become entitled?

[SebastianBlue]

This thread marks the most consecutive posts @SebastianBlue has made without posting some humorous picture/GIF.

Are you saying this was not humorous!?

I never got one at all…

Fuck me, there are a lot of long posts on here.

Not sure all of the other long posts on here will, but sure, it’s been a very strange last year so why not — yours or mine?

I agree with the growing entitled nature of some of our fan base. Just read the match day thread or even the Harry Kane thread. But that is only Bluemoon...
Until I walk into a foreign bar and see it full of City, arrogant full kit wankers, spouting shit and putting down other supporters, I will still believe we have humourous, humble and heartfelt supporters. Long may it continue...
Those that are dipper or raggish in their entitled outlook do not understand our history or journey. Celebrate each victory as if it is our last...

This isn’t Twitter mate.

More intelligent members of the species frequent forums compared the dregs of society who frequent Twitter or the comments sections of Instagram, YouTube, Facebook etc.

The 5th time in 10 years?

I’d say every one of em, who started supporting us in 2010.. That's not a criticism by the way, that’s a product of our success and it happened to the rags and dippers when they ruled the roost ... As Rafa said.. That’s a fact ..

We dropped 2 points last night at Palace- but what really pissed me off was the grumpy old git stood behind me. He didn’t cheer the team on. He scowled at any good exciting play. He shouted abuse at our players whenever he could. He constantly slagged off the Pep style of possession football.
He would have been in his element in the 90’s when we were shit. But now he should just move on. I pity the folk who have to sit near him at the Etihad. Some will say that everyone is entitled to their opinion but I’d serve a banning order on all these types. And replace them with fans who get behind the team.

 

[SamBlue]

With this group of players and Pep as our manager... NO!

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Anyone younger than 21 won't remember Maine Road and has grown accustomed to City forever challenging for the top honours.
I'd define them as lucky rather than entitled.

The eighties nineties and noughties had a profund affect on me, I never take any win for granted and always surprised and delighted when we beat the rags or dippers. Helps to deal with disappointments like the CL final..

 

[Katsunari Takayama]

Expectant rather than entitled I would say.

Nout wrong with that it’s just human nature

Hot take but boomer city fans trying to gatekeep ‘ the right way to be a city fan’ annoy me way more than younger fans who expect to win every week. Younger fans who’ve grown up winning will obviously resemble fans of clubs from your youth who did similar who cares

 

[snorky]

@Blue Mist will soon become entitled...

To a birthday telegram from the Queen.

 

[waspish]

It what happens to some supporters after winning and winning and winning and winning any drop points the team manager gets it in the neck.

No idea what any of this means mate.

I think I'm grateful to have seen the shit years before the successful ones because it does tend to keep you grounded and not get over hysterical everytime we drop points.
Those growing up with this version of City will of course see things differently and their expectations will be heightened.
Be nice if they could post after a disappointing result without the need of OTT criticism and hyperbole but then I'm forever an optimist.

Think he's calling us old cunts, mate. :-)

I resemble that.

Haha I’m pretty old too I just don’t think get off my lawning the kids who don’t remember the 80s is of much use yet some fans really seem to enjoy doing it

In fairness, reading a few posts since last night it's been mainly the old cunts who have lost the plot. Same names everytime bemoaning the same things. The Laporte thread is extra special atm.
