Trophy Parade | Sunday 26th May, 19:30

Minus two points for going out in quarter-finals of UCL after predictable display vs RM, minus one point for FA Cup loss and minus one point for FA Community Shield and Carabao Cup losses. 6/10 season for me, adding to that no wins versus Top four in the league, there is nothing to gloat about.

Not surprised you've only posted 685 times in over 12 years. I'd give it up if I were you.

Went on X/Twitter very briefly. It’s started. Selected pictures by Untied and Liverpool fans of a now show turn out title parade again by City fans. Honestly I’m not arsed. At the end of the day it’s just bitter red shirt banter. But it’s so predictable and boring now, isn’t it.

And only two defeats against the top 4.

Shit. And to think, if we'd beat Villa at home, we'd have won the prem.

Screenshotted this yesterday and sent it as a reply to some nonsense a united fan had messaged me about the parade. Funnily enough I didn't hear back after that...

Grown people taking the piss out of other grown people, for not going to a parade that they probably wouldn't have gone to themselves, if the shoe was on the other foot.

Parades are great for families to take their kids to see the players up close, and for those that fancy going along for a final celebration.

Personally, I couldn't care less what other fans think about how many people showed up. If 10 people showed up they'd take the piss, if 50,000 showed up, they'd say something about 115 charges; just ignore them and recognise some 2nd hand embarrassment.

I was with my two girls and there were a few rags "Where's your FA cup?"

"Same place as your Premier league"

There were a lot of people out on the piss on deansgate as it was a bank holiday Sunday.. including quite a few gobby rags.. although not too gobby as they were vastly outnumbered

Even a fucking Stockport County fan on Facebook said they had more fans and a better parade, well a mate of mine City fan lives near Stockport went to both parades, said obviously City had a lot more fans and was a much better parade.
People don't half post some daft shit on social media.
 
There was a vendor outside the Piccadilly Wetherspoons selling scarves before the parade yesterday. heard some prick Utd fan ask him if he had any FA Cup winners scarves. Quick as a flash he said, no, but I’ve got some eighth place scarves, that I will be selling on Thursday nights. The rag walked off looking duly embarrassed.

It's all well and good top blues on here with 20k loyalty points geeing themselves up about the parade. But for a parade to work you need over 100k people most of whom will be fair weather fans who get swept up in the euphoria of victory. That just won't happen now. I'd love to know the mastermind who thought it would be a good idea to organise this before outcome of the cup final. Shooting ourselves in the foot big time.

Jesus!

You can't just decide to hold a parade and expect the Council to close all the roads, secure and build all the stuff that goes with it and have people to manage it.

The setting up of barriers is a huge task and started late afternoon.

Never mind the calendar and the fact Sunday was the middle of a Bank Holiday weekend too, it was a perfect time to have it.

It was booked and arranged after the Title was won last weekend, that is what the Parade is for.

The FA Cup had no bearing on the Parade whatsoever!

Ha! I take your point, but parades are full if parents with kids and I think a lot will be looking at not being home til post 10, plus them being drenched in the rain, and will sack it off.

Too late now but you didn't have to stay til the end!

Tea in Town, see the start and soak up the atmosphere and head home if the clock is a factor!
