    Do foreign fans understand the hatred?

    While I think some of what you say is unfair I think you have some good points, and will add that I never said I hate United as much as those who've lived all their lives in Manchester, just that I understand and appreciate it. Doesn't mean I don't also resent them and I believe I have good...

    Do foreign fans understand the hatred?

    Add me to the list. This. (As someone with very recent family history in USA and has experienced both teams' fan bases more than I'd like) With respect I think comparing that to the Manchester derby is laughable.

    Do foreign fans understand the hatred?

    Absolutely I believe I do, but I think there's a lot who don't. This will sound like extreme sucking up, but the main reason I respect Manchester-based City fans more than any other sporting fans in the world is because of the outstanding support you all showed when City was in the shit and...

    Hyde United

    The only non league match I've seen was Hyde away to Hinckley, was hoping there'd be at least one away supporter there but unfortunately not ... the train ride back to Manchester was particularly boring. Have to admit I supported Hinckley ... their fans won me over with some ripping stories...

    Mansfield Town (h), 1998, attendance 3007, were you there?

    Find it interesting that other big clubs who've been relegated to the third tier got much bigger attendances to their home games in the AWS/JPT. Leeds and Southampton got more than 8k, Sheff Utd more than 5 and a half. Wonder why that is? Given we had much better support in the league than them...

    Dallas - Tips/places to go

    You can look forward to having the venue virtually to yourself. <a class="postlink" href="http://espn.go.com/nhl/attendance" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://espn.go.com/nhl/attendance</a> I actually have nothing productive to add, just like a laugh at Tom Hicks' expense.

    Chant of the day at OT

    Without a shadow of a doubt for me it was "5-1 in your cup final" after our 5th goal. I was at the pub with the MCFC supporters club in Perth and it was loud as fuck by that stage, but that was the one that still came through very clearly on the TV. Goes without saying, but fantastic effort by...

    9 wins and a draw

    I'm 100% behind Mancini whenever I go to games and was part of many more booming his name at Wembley. Don't believe posting on a forum about my doubts will in any way affect the team, and don't see what that has to do with him being the boss, which I obviously agree should be the case so long as...

    9 wins and a draw

    Already done that a number of times, and although I'm in the minority it's obvious not all are 100% sure about Mancini. I'm sure everyone who doubts him hopes to be proven wrong, contrary to what some say. And if accusing me of not being a city fan makes you feel your argument is stronger, good...

    9 wins and a draw

    I've still got doubts about whether Mancini is the right man - and I'm likely to vent my frustration towards him at times, so sue me. Don't really see what's wrong with that? Obviously hope my doubts prove misguided, and obviously I'm stoked with how the club is placed, but failing to see why we...

    Month without alcohol for charity

    Just for the record I usually only drink two days of the week at most, but it does relax me when I do. It's also very hard to avoid in my line of work, at my age (particularly being recently single), and in the alcohol-obsessed nation in which I live. Don't think that makes me alcoholic, and...

    Seeing City fans in public

    Here in oz I'll always offer a "nice shirt" or "c'mon you Blues", because for most of my time as a city fan it has been so rare to see another fan. In city's lower division days the only place I'd see other city fans was at football games. Now it's a bit more common. When I'm in the UK I'm less...

    Month without alcohol for charity

    I'm going without alcohol in September to raise money for charity (and hopefully provide some health benefits). Going okay in the early stages but got a feeling the cravings won't be far away. To make matters worse, broke up with my girlfriend of 3 and a half years the day before the month...

    These so called city "glory hunters"

    Re: These so called city Haha that made me laugh because the le coq sportif shirt I got aged 13/14 is by far my favourite City shirt, partly because it distinguishes me from the so-called glory-hunting foreigners, but perhaps more so because I have no fashion sense! To answer the question...

    most common questions on bluemoon

    Can think of a whole lot more I see all the time. Can we win the title? Will we win the title? Is Mancini the right man for the job? Can we have Mourinho as manager? Why are the cup semis played at Wembley? Will success make us like the rags with more annoying tourists coming to games? Is Mary...

    Los Angeles Based blues FA CUP final roll call

    I too am very interested if anyone knows the answer to that question because I'll be in the US in June/July.

    What would you have to be offered?

    I can't believe that some people would be willing to give up their ticket for less than I have already paid on a tout website, for a ticket which is far from guaranteed. Wish I had read this thread before buying! But to be honest so long as I get in one way or another I don't care how much I...

    Booing the opposition when theyre on the ball

    I agree, I think it's brilliant. I've never been to a match where it has happened but watching derbies at Maine Road on TV as a youngster it really seemed to have an effect, particularly in the Neville to Goater game (then again I wasn't there so could be talking crap!). Could hear it very well...
