Is this word brainwashed into a rags vocabulary and do any of them actually undestand the meaning of the word?? Seems every sentence relating to city ends with the phrase " bitter bastards" or something to that tune. Do they not get it or am i missing something??
 
it's them who are missing something. a sense of irony for a start. they call us the bitters but they're the real bitters. one example was that city only won a shitty trophy that they weren't interested in. but there are many others.
 
Bitter is Real Madrid, Manchester United, Internazionale and Cristiano Ronaldo. I guess I should add Sneijder and Van Persie to that list too.

We didn't win it - we bought it!

All their trophies are won with homegrown players born in the shadow of the Stretford End...

Bitter!
 
Boddingtons - the Cream of Manchester.

Maybe it has some correlation to that?
 
They are the bitter ones not us, they are the ones who spend their days moaning about us and they are the scared ones not us as the Blue Moon Rises
 
Been a tough few months for them. First off we demolish their treble hopes in a Wembley semi (Don't forget, BF doesn't lose FA Cup semis). They win the league, but on the same day we win our first trophy in 35 years. They lose half their songs and have to take their precious banner down.

Then the whole of Europe laughs at them whilst they are comprehensively played off the park in the CL final. An even bigger hiding than the one dished out two years earlier.

Nasri, the man they've been chasing for the last 6 months decides to join us before them.

Hence their unbridled joy when it appears Tevez might leave, they beat us in a Charity match and 3 weeks into the season, go above us in the table by 1 solitary goal.

We've been added to list of teams who they hate/hated for having the temerity to be a threat. L'pool, Leeds, Blackburn, Newcastle, Arsenal & Chelsea.

There is no more bitter set of fans in Europe.
 
Now I know we all see our team through tinted specs, but at least I will hold up my hands and state we are shit when we have been shit but trying to have a debate with one is pointless, it always turn into an argument. I will never forget the day when I went into the local newsggents the day after city were bought by the sheik and happend to comment to the owner how great it was for the blues. Not knowing at this time his leaning, I was abruptly informed that any mention of football stops at the door. It was only when driving past a few days later did I notice the spare wheel cover on his 4x4 displaying the rag crest.
 
Fuck 'em. Just back to work today, and had to listen to a couple of them going on about the performance against Arsenal. I told them that maybe, just maybe, one weekend they could get to a game and savour the atmosphere. 'I would, but I can't get a ticket'......Jesus, the age old excuse. I have told them about tickets being on open sale.

Conversation ended with one of them saying how bad Balotelli was!

Now "brewed" in South Wales!!

Yes, there is a direct connection to the rags - they both purport to come from Manchester, but don't.

and has been a shit pint since they closed down the manchester brewery
 
The difference between the two sets of supporter is stark, On the one hand, and generally speaking of course you have the Manchester City fan. In the past, loyal even though little chance or hope of a major trophy in the next 100 years. Happy to survive and or get promoted, also gained pleasure from success all be it not in the top flight, ie Play off finall in 99, and winning the Championship trophy ( i waited hours outside City to have my photo taken with my son and the trophy at Maine Road). Above all a huge ability to laugh and joke at both ourselves and that of City's plight even through the most darkest of days. In general we have been a happy go lucky, who cares we will always be City type of black humour bunch.
The other lot on the other hand because of the type of big gobbed big headed look at me i am a winner type that the rags attract are totally different. They have a huge need to be looked upon as individual supporters as winners first and formost. They enjoyed taking the piss for decades, winning everything and as say a 35 year ols supporter its all they know. The rich kids with all the toys and accolades you might say. Then the winds of fortune start to blow in a different direction, and they see that maybe, just maybe things may start to be different. No more can they be sure City will fail and fail again. No more can they be sure that they will beat all before them for another 20 years. And not only could the empire start to shake and crumble, it could be replaced by the club that they have poked fun at for decades and decades. That will be a pain to big to cope with, and you will see a side to that clubs support that is as horrid as is possible. Make no mistake Fergaffi and his band are on the run. And who's chaseing the fuckers down??? Ickle shitty City. They always called us the "bitters" fact is we never really were, because i as a blue have it inside me to gain more pleasure watching City ( and i did) in the old third division, than ever i could being a rag. " Bitter" will take on a new meaning, maybe not this year, or even next who knows but it will happen. And i for one can't bloody wait.

Sorry for the RANT........Its passion and from the heart. I love the under dog, and in what ever walk of life be it sport or otherwise it's great when the arrogant fall, and the meek rise to power in an honourable way.

As an Irish Catholic decent Manc born whos old fellah played for the dark sides youth team in the 50s(to do with being at Gorton Celtic,he is a Blue)I love your post.You sum up the reason why I have not for one moment had any regrets following City through all the shit down the years.
Im afraid they just dont and never will, get it.
 
Perfect definition here...

This thread is typical of so many others that tend to get misunderstood. I actually made it as a reference as to how City fans appear to be less bothered about the Rags than they are to us and used tonights M.E.N. as the reference. I thought i'd made that point quite clear and yet it seems not and has often happens its been turned around as if I/we are full of bile and hatred to everything about them.

So for the record lets put it to bed, lets stop being so nice and polite and pretend to ignore the fuckers because I've tried that and in all honesty it doesn't work its fucking bullshit. I don't hate them all as people (only a few)as personally I don't actually know them all. But I do with every fibre of my being hate what the filthy red bastard club stands for and will never deny this as its the person I am. Some of my best mates are Rags and they hate City the same and I wouldn't have it any other way I hate their fucking shade of red and I hate the sychophantic way everyone else sucks up to them.

There I feel much better for getting that off my chest and fully deserved of the title Bitter Blue :-)

Arsenal must feel grateful they weren't playing us - we'd have got double figures
