Anything monotonous gets tedious and boring. I don't take offense by the empty seats jibes or the constant mention of how much we've spent but it does annoy me. It's not only boring; it's predictable and inaccurate.
It's like the obligatory 'where were you when you were shit' song. Any proper football fan will know that Man City had a huge following in the 1st and 2nd division. It makes themselves look stupid if anything, however, it's still tedious and annoying.

Not bothered me in the slightest as just like when we used to mock their fans for all being from London, no one, worth talking to, actually believes it.

Just the media people want nowadays with lads bantz, celebrity garbage and a lack of importance on whether it is factually correct.

Sadly Bluemoon is one of the worse places for this type of nonsense as the people who write these comments get quoted or linked all the time.

I see a definite change in attitude from a fairly wide ranging section of the media which has been driven by our success and the way we have played. BT Sport is probably the most obvious sea change in attitude to where they were a couple of seasons ago. I also see many more intelligent analysis of our tactics from the media. You still have shithouses who will never change but I continue to ignore them as I have always done. For me they are the ones that continue to play City Bingo, almost always using it as justification for how excellent we are. I think neutral supporters of football attitudes are also changing based on the comments sections that I sometimes look at - not surprising given the feast of wonderful football that has been served up this season. Fans of the other top 5 clubs will always use the easy stuff to attack us. Lack of processing power and the fact that we are so much better run as a club than theirs precludes them from taking a more intellectual approach.

For a team with no history City have the longest span of success in the PL. ie the gap between first and last trophy is the longest in the league. Not bad for a team with no history. Thanks to Gary James for that stat.

Thanks. Glad it was useful. I keep trying to explain in every media interview I do that it was the period from 1982 to 2008 that was out of character with City's history - that wasn't the norm! It irritates me that the media focus on a failing club being transformed by a rich man. Back in the 80s the media didn't tell our story of being a wealthy club, winning trophies being taken over by men who transformed us into a failing club.

On relegation day in 1983 City had spent more seasons in the top division than mufc in their entire history; were the 4th longest continuous Div 1 side after Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool; were only a couple of trophies behind Utd etc. I try to explain this over and over again. As fans though I think we need to be a bit more boastful - this sounds odd but we all focus on 1999 (and it's a moment/period we can't forget) and the journey since then which reinforces this City stereotype of failing club. We need to take our story back and remind everyone of our status in the late 60s and 70s (and for those who experienced it the 1930s too when no one ever considered MUFC an important team and City & Arsenal were the giants).

Liverpool fans taking the piss out of the Etisalat advert makes me fucking nauseous.

Do they not fucking realise.

Of course they don't - their lack of self awareness is both brutal and disturbing.

Haven’t bought a paper since just after the takeover. The final straw was an article in one of the red tops, can’t remember which one. It said we we’re going to get Darren Ferguson as manager! The reason for the link was explained along the lines of using blood lines like in horse racing. Fergie senior being the greatest in their eyes so junior piss pot would obviously follow suit. This was because our new owners were into horses and had used this to source our next manager. Wrong sheikh wrong fucking country.

lol they got paid for that article as well, shocking stuff.

Getting annoyed about the stock City bingo phrases is exactly the reaction the people who use them want. So I don't.

Post of the thread and I would add if you cannot handle yourself in a bit of banter, after the season we have had, you never will
