The term "Uncs"

Pathetic term, IMO.
Language is fluid, I accept that, but tone is everything and this word is not being used to celebrate legends who have won all there is to win, but to disparage them compared to younger players. For that reason, I don't think anyone with respect for what our great players have achieved should ever use the term.

We accept that many of us love to see the emergence of vibrant, talented, young players, but that never should mean that we lose sight of those that brought us to the point we are.

I can not agree with this more.

Honestly, I am ashamed.

Unc sounds like something a 12 year old would say/make up
 
Apart from here my main source of City content is via podcasts.
Sadly, it seems all have embraced and perpetuated its use. Know your audience guys it's fucking awful.

Enlighten me: How the fuck can the term "Maine Road" be used as an insult for match going fans?

Foreign fans online, mainly on X, are disparagingly calling City fans who’ve been going for decades ‘Maine Road’ fans, as if we are old fashioned and our opinions are worth nowt because we support the players, team and manager and don’t take kindly to people calling our players and manager anything from ‘uncs’ to ‘cunts’ because we don’t win the league with 114 points every season and the CL every season going unbeaten.

Conversations on X with Yanks, Nigerians and Indians usually go like this:
Other- ‘Haaland is shit and needs to fuck off, same as his coach who is washed and needs to fuck off’
Me- ‘Haaland wasn’t as good last season as previously but he still scored more than any other striker in the country in his ‘off’ season’… and you want the greatest coach in the world to fuck off after one average season? I bet you said that in 2017, but look what happened after that’
Other- ‘Typical Maine Road fan going back to the past like it matters now, Haaland shit and Pep’s a ****, you Maine Road fans will put up with anything’.

I used to live in Uganda and Uncle was a term of greeting for any man of marriage age that they were not sure were married, it was the same for Aunty. Did not necessarily relate to older people just the marrying age as I said, seems to now have entered our lexicon and been twisted slightly to be an insult and not a greeting.
