Again you haven't answered my question. You are comparing our squad players to our direct opponents first 11 which is not what I asked.

Ok I'll ask it for the third time; Which club in the Premier League do you feel has a stronger SQUAD than City?
Aresenal possibly but dont see what point you are trying to make

No one has a better squad than us but the window lickers hope we sneak the league and then claim the boss is a competent manager, I think Alan ball would have won us more games
 
Ric is right it is pure emotion and frustration. Years ago at the game some people would go and batter the shit out of the opposing fans after a hammering,these days,on the whole,they batter the shit out of the keyboard.At the time it may make you feel momentarily better but later you will often look back with some embarrassment at some of your actions.

This injuries bollocks while a factor isn't unique to us.Arsenal,the rags and the dippers are all suffering,Arsenal in particular have an horrendous injury list but don't seem to fall apart as badly as we do on occasion.In my opinion that is down to the managers tactics and stubbornness.Instead of tightening things up and firstly making us difficult to beat he plays the same way with inferior replacements and we have all seen the results.The only game he did tighten it up we got a point at the rags. We are so wide open at the moment nearly every team is creating 5 or 6 good chances against us every game and that is a recipe for disaster as it is starting to become clear.
 
Don't get me wrong mate, I agree with you. It's ridiculous. It's just always been that way, and always will. It's not specific to City, or Bluemoon. It's just how football fans are.

Regardless of the club, some people at the games, on forums, and on social media are the same. Football is emotive, and people are prone to huge overreactions. I'd love Bluemoon to be a haven for rational, pragmatic views but it never has been, and never will be.

It's the same for all clubs, that's why it grates when people think it only happens on Bluemoon, or Bluemoan as the great wits call it. Anyone thinking moaning about their club is specific to this club or forum is woefully out of touch with the game and it's fans.

I think it's the volume that's the difference. Yes this happens all over football and all over football forums, but it's not an either-or situation. The choice isn't this or constant pragmatism, there are markers in between which can be hit. We can be emotive and a bit mad but when it's not 50% a bit mad but 90% a bit mad then it's always going to draw criticism. The problem as well is that it's not something that can sort itself out because you reach a critical mass whereby when you start losing the more pragmatic posters the tips that scale a little bit again. How many times have we said either jokingly or serious "think I'll give the forum a miss for a few days given the result!"? Others will be saying it too. If it's got bad enough that regulars are saying it then it's gotten pretty bad.
 
I wouldn't sack him now that's pointless .
It's lucky for him the leagues still wide open this season .
 
Some of the players haven't been an upgrade. We're still relying on players bought under Hughes and Mancini.

why?

richest club in the world and all that.....

it's not like we have needed a complete overhaul....just some strengthening in key areas of obvious weakness, and god knows we have had the money and the pulling power to do it
