City are the neutrals' favourites

Re: City are the neutrals favourites

It's interesting to see the difference between people like Stockport Mackem and some of the "guests" we get here from certain other clubs , with their bitterness and sense of entitlement. We all know who they are!
A proper fan who actually seems to understand how it really works - keep it up lad ( or lass)

Candlepool have mugged themselves right off with their recent behaviour. Between the triumphalist welcoming of the team coach to the boasts and then bitterness of the 20 odd Scouse pundits out there, It has been nothing short of pathetic.

and funny

very funny

i am still laughing at them, all of them

We had to have something to amuse us after our wee Davey got the boot :)

Re: City are the neutrals favourites

You're also in the strange and enviable position of being your rivals' 2nd favourite - Chelsea fans wanted you to win it rather than Liverpool, and Liverpool fans (who have even the remotest ability to step outside themselves) wanted you to win it rather than Chelsea.

Enjoy it while it lasts though because if you really start racking up the trophies you'll soon be just as despised as any successful teams that went before you. Reasons for that will be amplified by the media sucking your collective tinkle, and the FACT that you guys WILL change; With titles comes the feeling of entitlement.

lol Happy days for now though. Get 'r done on Sunday!

The troll kind who pop up on forums are usually 17 year old armchair casual football followers who think football is played on the internet. The kind of goons who call teams "notlob" and "Chavski". When you meet proper football fans they are almost always different. I would say over the last few years 95% of the fans of other clubs I've chatted to, and it's been a lot, say "I've always liked city, at least you're not united, I wish we had your money", or words to that effect.

I can't really remember one who wasn't like that in fact.

Re: City are the neutrals favourites

a lot of my mates support different teams , spuds,everton,wigan,west ham etc and although most are armchair experts , not one of them want the martyrs to win the title , they are all rooting for us , once again the media are totally out of touch with the average footy fan.

You have to remember that a lot of the crap we get is pure jealousy, there is not a real football fan in this country who would not have loved their club being in the same position as us, despite the transparent denials (remember the scenes of joy when Liverpool fans thought they were going to get taken over by Dubai)

Was trying to see if there was somewhere appropriate to insert this rather than starting a new thread, but nowhere seemed especially appropriate. Mods, feel free to move if I'm wrong.

Earlier in the season, I made a mistake. I laughed at those who were saying Liverpool were title challengers. I forgot to factor in the impact not playing in Europe would have and, as a result, their surge to the top wasn’t all that unpredictable.

But, more than that; I didn’t want to face what it might mean should they end their 24-year wait for a title - the unbearable smugness of their fans and the delight of a media so desperate to laud them more than they tended to do already.

No one who supports another team wants to have to pick between Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City when it comes to who they want to win the league. Liverpool, we were told repeatedly, were the neutrals’ favourites, the team who ‘deserved’ to win in a sport which owes nothing to anyone.

The events of this week have shown what utter rubbish that assertion was.

Celebrating as if they’d won the league already, their fans had moved past beyond merely wanting to dream and in to the realms of fantasy.

If there was any doubt that the neutrals would prefer City to win, then those doubts were shattered on Monday night as the entire Internet laughed hysterically when Liverpool choked at Crystal Palace. On Wednesday night it wasn’t just the City fans who felt the relief which accompanied Edin Dzeko’s opener.

If you strip away City’s money, there isn’t really much to dislike about them. Their fans can almost seem apologetic at times regarding the massive luck which has befallen their club.

They are the complete opposite of Chelsea fans who consistently demonstrate how not to behave when you’ve been presented with a not-so-little gilded gift horse.

The media also don’t seem to have much affection for them, not in the same way they do United, Liverpool and Jose Mourinho, if not Chelsea themselves.

When it comes to evils, City, even for all their ridiculous spending and disregard for FFP, are by far the lesser of the lot.

City now just need one point to spare us all the nightmare of a Liverpool title win. Even Manchester United fans want them to get it. Should they fail, they will have let down all of us who have urged them on despite how wrong it feels.

Many in the media desperately wanted us to believe that a Liverpool win would be something for us all to celebrate. When Stevie G fell over, a nation spoke.

Liverpool were never the neutrals’ favourites and for as long as their fans and the media keep telling us how they ‘deserve’ a title more than anyone else, they never will be.

The bloke who wrote that looks about 16....right on the money though....
