alan47 said:Its amazing how Manchester city fans seem to hate arsenal but the feeling isnt reciprocated by gooners. City fans are seen as more deserved of their success because they suffered for so long, and city as a club are seen as a lesser of all the other evils. I guess this will change when city fans stop feeling lucky and start feeling entitled, which is whats happening now.
I remember going into a pub outside the emirates after we beat stoke 3-1 earlier this season, reason I went in was the loud cheers I was hearing, I see city 3 united 0 on the big screen and everyone dancing about in their arsenal shirts.
Maybe "hating" arsenal is what other big clubs do so this is just manchester city fans assuming their position to create a rivalry that doesnt really exist.
The other thing I find significant on the forum in general, is how manchester city fans are always looking for reactions to their wins, theyve just stuck 6 past us playing swashbuckling football and its as if they want validation from the press, wenger, arsenal fans. They need to understand that they will never get that, and they should not be looking for that. Just enjoy being the best and know that it irks everyone else. When we didnt lose a game all season the press were still having a go at us for not winning the treble. Other managers and other fans will never laud your achievements, but they all would love to swap teams with you. I know I would.
we're not looking for reactions..we are looking for the respect our team deserves when playing well..ffs we beat Bayern away and the witch hunt began,the main talk was about Pellegrini getting it wrong and how finishing 2nd would be really bad for us..
Arsenal finished 2nd too...where was the Wenger witch hunt ??
All we want is a level playing field as far as the press are concerned..
This is what vexes us...
