Lol...love the honesty mate.

Absolutely spot on. Many of us go to games, support the team 100% but still have valid criticisms of players, tactics, the club, the manager, the pies, the service at the bars, etc.gio's side step said:Thoughts? Absolute shite. Mate, you need to understand the distinction between being a supporter at the game, getting behind the team no matter what, supporting them until the last second, backing the players and manager, and coming on here to discuss issues which all fans feel happy/unhappy about.

On here we can express those criticisms freely, wind people up and have a bit of a laugh. That's what a forum is for.

You couldn't make it up (well Billy didn't, he saw De Niro used it and copied). De Niro your new object of desire in the absence of SuperFriend?
Billy - did you used to post in a more pro-City way before your friend was "badly treated"? If you did, then can you not see how other posters find your opinion less valid as it has been swayed by personal feelings to a friend.
I would rather be a nodding dog than whatever some are on here.
Mate, since you cannot manage to post anything in my vicinity without mentioning my "friend" or "super friend" or "fake friend" or whatever - well, it kinda shows you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder, or bee in your bonnet or whatever you want to call it. I was tempted to just post them all (the little snide comments, often unprovoked), but I don't think I need to. Anyone who's seen them will know true enough what I'm talking about.
Anyway, nodding dog's aside, when I see something I want to be positive about I post about it. What's pretty funny is the number of posters like yourself who either don't read what I post, or only read things they can interpret as negative and respond to those. It's...well, it's flattering that it's so important for you to prove me wrong (hasn't that always been the way with you) - but honestly it won't change your life or mine if you do...
Regarding your question about my "friend" and whether I was more positive before he was "badly treated" - I'm sure one of the other old timers on this board can tell you all about my love for Pearce, Wardle, Makin, and Mackintoss...must confess I loved Dr Shinawatara, but I was never sure whether it was because of his eccentric personality or because of the fact that he was reviled by so many on here...
Unfortunately on Bluemoon I stay until they turn the lights out and lock up.fbloke said:Prestwich_Blue said:Absolutely spot on. Many of us go to games, support the team 100% but still have valid criticisms of players, tactics, the club, the manager, the pies, the service at the bars, etc.

But do you leave 10 minutes before the end ;-)
C_T_I_D said:Thee first part of what feels like a rant to me as I type this, is an open and honest series of questions.
We are supporters, yes? Our desire is for Manchester City to do well and we back them to do so, or do we? I think it is becoming questionable. In a day and age where the media surround us like sharks waiting to strike and other fans abuse our players more than we possibly ever could, shouldn't we be rallying round the players in their time of need? I just don't understand it.
The second point I would like to make is that it is widely acknowledged accross the bluemoon messageboard that we get criticised left, right and centre for every action the club makes on the whole and as induviduals aswell. Why then do members proceed to make scathing insults on our OWN players and add fuel to the fire? Is unconstructive criticism support? I'd call it borderline abuse!
City fans are becoming everything I feared they would when we got all this money and inevitabely spent it on a superior standard of player that we've bought in. They're becoming complacement, spoilt and expecting immediate success. What they fail to notice is that we have not had consistency within staff for ages - boardroom, managerial and playing. How can they be expected to gain success when they are a bunch of induviduals rather than a collective team that have been playing together years?
THOUGHTS?
