Trophy Parade | Sunday 26th May, 19:30

It's amazing how many Blues still don't understand the reality of Rag support.

Match day, yes the area is full of them from all over.

Non match day and it's a few gobby cunts that wouldn't know the inside of the swamp.

Glory hunting arm chair fan base with the biggest fucking gobs!

Quite funny, in hindsight that the timing of the parade has basically wiped out any FA Cup talk. To paraphrase comments from rags about our latest title win. "Two days on from their FA Cup Final win and no one cares, its been forgotten already."

Have it earlier.

Or only have had the parade if we'd have won the cup. 53k saw us parade the PL already.

I'll probably go. But not with the kids this year.

Manchester run was on then the setting up and closing of the roads needed!

19:30 is hardly late on a late Spring weekend.

I reckon rags were pissed off we had the parade straight after the cup final as it definitely helped get over the defeat somewhat. Puts their trophy into perspective.

Had thought the parade was a mistake Deansgste is usually rag central and had thought they'd be in the piss celebrating. I couldn't have gone anyway stuck in a Spanish hospital. Glad to be proved wrong parade saved the weekend well done Blues restored our pride.

Yes but do you think you should post shite like that in the first place, saying Deansgate will be full of rags taking the piss whilst stuck in a Spanish hospital is just poor beyond belief, just think you’re posts are part of the problem as to why the media constantly attack us.
 
Just had a look at the comments on the MUen about the parade..fuck me the bitter rag cunts are out in force.
Apparently nobody was there..empty streets etc..lads and lasses make no mistakes the cunts are hurting..we have ruined them.
The only thing they can say is shit about the parade as they know we are so far in front of them they need a telescope to see us
 
I must admit, I was walking around London on Saturday night thinking that the parade was ill-timed, was unwanted and would be a damp squib. I decided I'd go to see it because I felt I'd be behaving in a spoilt and entitled way if I didn’t.

How wrong I was about the whole thing. The mood was buoyant, the excitement was palpable and there were so many people there (I suspect a lot who don't get to go to many matches). My mood has been lifted and I'm glad I went. It was a blessing to have the parade because it has helped everyone to move on.

The FA Cup has been a great and traditional competition but we are ultimately judged on PLs and CLs. To that end, we have delivered great success and the greatest feat in English football - four in a row. United won the battle but we won the war. As was the case with Van Gaal, Ten Hag is about to lose his job after winning the FA Cup, so it tells me exactly how little it means to them.

Would I have swapped either league win against them for a win on Saturday? No, because that would be swapping the biggest prize of all for the FA Cup. Would I swap last year's FA Cup for this year's? No, because that would mean no Treble. When you are as successful as City, you put yourself in a position to regularly win trophies, but you also put yourself in a position where you will have to deal with disappointment on occasion. Losing finals is something you have to deal with when you regularly feature in them. Life might be less stressful if I start to support Fulham, but life as a City fan really is as good as it gets for anyone.

Losing the Cup final is a lot less disappointing than dropping into the third tier of English football.

After all the successes of the last 13 years, I, and I’m sure most Blues, can handle the disappointment of losing at Wembley, even if it was to those negative, left behind twats from Trafford.
 
I was amazed at the turnout, all things considered. We really enjoyed watching it on City’s youtube channel. Looked superb.

The turn out last night was superb, in the end I couldn’t make it but the pictures on the telly showed not only how much the fans of this club are a credit but also just how much the players warmed to them. City have always had a strong greater Manchester and north west support, most of them have attended lots of games so we have loyalty and convenience. When we were in the lower divisions, the rags at work in Wythenshawe would outnumber the blues but the thing is, all us blues had season tickets, very few of the rags did and even fewer could find Owe Trafford with an A-Z.
