That will never get old.

@Jack Hackett

Regardless of what Ade did. This was a significant result for us when we were shit.

Fair enough, but do you have any SpringBank for sale at the RRP ?

Honestly Gaz, I must be 1 of the few Scots that don't like Whisky. My dad loved it, even my oldest son loves it, but I just can't take to it.

Maybe I've just not tried the right 1... or maybe I'm just a bit of a pussy. Probably the latter unfortunately.

Also never been a fan of the adopted national drink....Buckfast.

If the latter I’ve read this thread and some of the comments towards the Arsenal posters are not as friendly as they have been in previous season and the responses back have been defensive. There was always friendly banter but some of the exchanges go beyond that.
I couldn’t be arsed quoting people and if you don’t agree then great keep posting on here - personally I welcome opposing team supporters. Makes for a more interesting discussion.

I just love that bottom gif. Ade put up with someone pretty vile chanting that day and ended up being the one punished,

But that gif, that bottom gif .... Brilliant. Proper 'hold me back...no really, please hold me back' stuff

They're all like old friends now ...

The dancing doughnut in the yellow re-living his club 18-30 Ayai Napa days...
The amazing disappearing pink shirt (I love his little wave goodbye!)
Little gnasher coming up for air (is he scared or is that his hard man face?)
The guy who decides to crowd surf with his arse...
Frankie fuschia miming being cuffed and walked away backwards...
Purple and blue shirt practicing their little dance number....
The snarling guy in black who bravely ignored the rude gesture thrown at him...
Goldilocks making eye contact with the guy behind, is it love at at first sight? (The guy behind him is passionately saying "you've got a brilliant arsehole", just watch the lips)
The guy who gets confused by the whole thing and nuts his mate...
The disembodied head which has been poorly photoshopped in...
Mickey Flanagan, I presume he's offering us 'out out'?

I guess those one meter perimeter walls at the ethiad really saved us from a ruckus that day.

To be honest I‘ve always enjoyed posting on here and I still do. City fans don’t have the same sense of entitlement that say, Utd fans have. Merely an observation but there’s always some fans who over react. This season has shown that we are a potential threat to City’s dominance. Most here treat it with equanimity but some, hardly surprising, are more hostile. It doesn’t bother me, vulgar abuse can be easily ignored.But a few are beginning to demonstrate the sense of entitlement that I criticised Utd fans above. Look, no one is more surprised or more excited to see us in the position we now are but it doesn’t mean we will win anything. I’ve always tried to be measured in my responses and hope people can see that.

I for one welcome the competition posed from Arsenal.

Cheers Jack. I would prefer Arsenal to win the league to the Rags and the Dippers- even Spurs though not much chance of that. Having been on opposition forums and been banned (sometimes deservedly so)I hate the fact that you can only join them if you’re willing to be a sycophant and tow the party line. I hope that will never be the case on here - opposition fans should be able to disagree without being disrespectful

To be honest I agree with you, I thought this might be the case as the season went on if we didn't fall away.

For guys that have just joined clearly on a bit of a WUM giving it the big I am because Arsenal are having their first decent season in ages, I can clearly understand that.

There's a couple of us been in for years, basically the full time we've been shit and you've been ace. We've heard it all, Tarquins, Adebayor gif, letter writers, hypocrites etc, so it's not anything new. Sometimes the occasional poster just comes in during a decent discussion, throws a couple of insults, we get a bit defensive and it gets everyone's backs up. It is what it is, we choose to be on a rivals forum to other people's bemusement, just not sure it adds much to the discussion or thread in general mind you.

That tweet is misleading. It assumes said unnamed player has already been charged with rape and subsequently convicted in a court of law when he hasn't.

To reference a case a lot closer to home, City didn't suspend Mendy until he'd actually been charged with any offences and he started a game against Spurs just a week before he was charged.
 
Really doesn’t sit right with me that that **** might be lifting the trophy in May.

I’m amazed it’s been allowed to be swept under the carpet on the pitch and he’s been allowed to play without issue.

I think we did the same with Mendy didn’t we? Some (a lot of things) things are bigger than football and a precedent should be set.
