10 big years and you've still learned nothing?

You're obviously still learning about the club and its fanbase, the most important thing you can learn about our fan base is this:

We're not the kind of fan base who gloats about our victories and feels entitled to success.

If anything it's the opposite. We're self-depricating and many of us still think things will go wrong, and we can take the piss out of ourselves.

Most of us grew up with the club being underdogs and having our nearest neighbours dominating and rubbing it in our faces.

But when they took the piss out of us, or anyone outside of the match going fan base takes the piss out of us, we come out fighting and stand our corner.

You're perfectly entitled to be a City fan and follow the team. You're even entitled to criticise the match going fan base if you really want to.

But what you're not entitled to do is criticise the match going fan base and expect them not to come out fighting and defend themselves. That's just taking your entitlement too far.

Go to the games for decades, put in the hard yards, suffer the lows, the defeats, the relegations, the humiliations, then you earn the right to criticise the fan base.

Following the club via the internet gives you the right to comment on the team, it does not give you the right to criticise the fan base. You've not earned your stripes.

Real fans don’t leave 10 minutes before the match ends.

My two lads left early last night for valid reasons that have fuck all to do with anybody else. Both have had season tickets for 20 years and have been through thick and thin but according to you they are not ‘real’ fans!

I’ll put it another way, shove you’re shitty comments up your arse.

Fair enough mate, enjoy your exclusive title as a true fan. I don’t think I will ever earn the stripes since I don’t live in England. I will be happy to support the club in my own way. And I will still be pissed when I see fans leaving before the match is over because I care :)
