Trophy Parade | Sunday 26th May, 19:30

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.
 
What a turn out and what an evening it was yesterday! Great time, The kids absolutely loved it. Brilliant to see so many little blues around!

I didn't post on here at all about the parade until now, I was reading the thread and came across numerous weird posts (obviously rags), Alot of blues here too with negative comments...Strange.

Alot on here commenting about the turn out for the parade, Yet you didn't bother to go yourselves? You aren't entitled to give a negative comment about the turnout if you don't go yourself.

The best thing to do for the majority of people on here is stay away from social media and there stupid pictures of empty streets that aren't the case at all. I was at the parade yesterday it was was a sea of blue!

We've won FOUR CONSECUTIVE league titles on a row, Something which has never been done before, Yet you still continue to bombard your own fan base over attendance, Do you lot not think we have to deal with enough of that shit off opposition fans without our own having a fucking pop...

Either get yourself to the parade and have a good time OR stay at home and shut the fuck up!

Very well said
 
Glad I went.

After getting back from London yesterday at 1pm I was absolutely fucked

I wasn't going to go to the parade but I dragged myself into town and got in at 5pm.

Met some friends in the Moon Under The Water on Deansgate. It was packed and rocking.

Went outside to see the PL trophy and buses go by. And then went back in for a few more scoops.

I got home about 1am.

Today I'm doing fuck all. :-)

Took a few pictures which I'll post today or tomorrow.

Fuck em.
 
I went to the parade and thought it was pretty packed, personally couldn't give a single fuck about what a rag or dipper may think about it. What i would say is that 7:30pm on a Sunday night was not the ideal time for a parade, however anyone who could have gone but chose not to should be taking a look at themselves this morning.

Edit, I am refering to people who could have made it but decided not to because we lost to the rags.

And it was a fair while after 7:30pm when it finally set off, I enjoyed every minute of it.
