Human history is littered with people moaning that things ain't what they used to be.
Most bands' second albums, Boddington's Bitter and Monster Munch are examples of this. Some people are very adept at filtering out the crap from the past leaving only warm, positive memories in situ.
Many supporters do the same when it comes to City and its past. Conveniently forgetting the occasional quiet afternoons at Maine Road, the disgusting way the club treated Paul Lake and the questionable attendance figures in ther Swales years, leaving only fuzzy memories of a community focussed friendly club with the noisiest matchdays in the country every week. The truth is always infinitely more complex than some people are comfortable with.
Bluemoon, like our club, remains interesting, full of character and is usually good to watch.
Especially when there's a meltdown.
That's the problem in a nutshell; nostalgia ain't what it used to be.gordondaviesmoustache said:As usual I'm in agreement with you SWP.

These players are to a better standard than ever before but if you slag some players off you know fuck all about football is what you get back. I dont mind it you take the good with the bad. The forum goes from high to low all the time and now with fuck all football on with the international break this is a slow spell. Also some of the shit thats flying around on the other football forum is uncalled for aimed at some blues on here by fellow blues. Thats a reason why some people just say fuck it its not worth the hassle anymore.

SWP's back said:So what's going on guys? I have read more than once today that bluemoon is not what it used to be. That it's dead, gone to the dogs, all the good posters have left and it's not the same with all the new posters.....
I've only been on here two and a half years and have seen no deterioration than I could really speak of. A similar amount of piss taking, football chat and funny fuckers that there always were. I certainly don't look down my nose at the newer members. But has the place changed? Have all the best posters gone?
Has the forum evolved like City, with a minority wanting things back "safe", the way they were before it became the behemoth that it is today? I still think it's the best football forum going but does anyone think different?
