We've been through far worse as a fanbase. We've been given far worse shit as a fanbase. Back in the 1990s when we were everyone around the country's second favourite club and the media were always positive about us in the small snippets we ever got it was because we were shit and when we were shit United were at their peak. At the time I was a teenager at school and the shit I used to get off the Rags at school was daily, sometimes hourly. Bearing in mind back then there were homes where both parents were City fans but their kids decided to be Rags because they were winning everything. When we lost 5-0 in the derby I had the other kids in my form all waiting for me at the gates and they all piled on top of me cheering.

This was just my story. This sort of thing will have happened to many blues, young and older, all over the city at the time at school in work in be pub. Daily piss taking! Which is at worse than some media bollocks.

After a while though that starts to mean nothing. They could say the worst thing ever and it meant absolutely nothing. Back then City fans had the thickest skin of any set of fans ever. You couldn't get to us, you couldn't say anything to us that could wind us up.

The daily bollocks we get from the media here is nothing, absolutely nothing compared to the shit we got from the Rags in the 90s and if that didn't get to us then this media shit certainly doesn't! It's meaningless and has absolutely no effect on me and many other City fans. Me and my mates laugh it off, just like we used to with the Rags jibes twenty years ago. Water off a ducks back.

Unfortunately it's not true of all City fans. I don't know why. It's as if the 90s never happened to some of them. That original Agenda thread on this website was an embarrassment to our fanbase, talk about overly sensitive, Christ almighty! And I'm certain that thread fuled journos with the aim to get their articles into the thread and to do so was their big achievement of the week.

I don't know why the skin is so thin with some of our fans but it is. It never used to be like that. But many of us take no notice of the bollocks and we pay it as much attention as it deserves; none! Just like the club themselves do.

Totally agree with having a thick skin bit.
That doesn't mean we have to agree with it from Media organisations that should know f*cking better.

There's a bit of Collymore about Mills, arrogant and boorish. Glad I dont have to listen to either.

Like Derek Acorah?

Possibly, but I wonder if our owner had anything to do with the Glazers changing their funding for their MUFC purchase or maybe the FBI assisting Swiss police in their persuit of both FIFA and Uefa.
The problems that Wolfsburg´s owners caused us with KDB last year seemed to suddenly have financial problems for VW re emissions.

Probably all coincidences I know but maybe this Derek chap could learn a thing or two about powers and how to use them.
