Didsbury Dave said:For the forthcoming cup semi final, some of you are going on as though we are a non-league club having their big day out in the FA Cup 3rd round. Yeah, if your under 12 I can understand the giddiness and the attraction of wearing all your City accoutriments and carrying inflatables or whatever. But any grown men getting involved in this silliness need to take a long hard look at themselves and remember which club you represent.
We are Manchester City, not Rushden and Diamonds. Cup Semi Finals are a part of the club's tradition. The fact that the club has been run by fools for the last 35 years doesn't change anything. We are a big City club with a working class fanbase who should not be getting giddy and turning up en-masse with foam hands, cut out FA Cups, curly wigs, stupid hats, inflatable or anything more becoming to minnows with all the family on their once-in-a-lifetime day out, than a proud club. Do you think Chelsea or Everton or Villa or even Man United would do this?
If your answer is no then have a long look at yourself. We are Manchester City. We should be in FA Cup Semi Finals. We are only returning to our rightful place.
Have some dignity. It's bad enough Garry Cook and his marketing numpties cheesing up COMS with their tacky shit without you lot making it worse.
Turn up in numbers and make a wall of noise. That's all that is required.

Like I said before, it's beginning to sound like a school trip.
I'm all for the kids getting face paints and foam hands etc. but 'grown-ups' should be limited to shirt, scarf and hat or cap.
Then again I am a miserable bastard.
And proud of it so no point trying to upset me by saying I am.

Theres a big difference between getting behind the team and making a racket and looking like fucking crusty the clown on his way to a Billy Smart circus. I dont know a blue who would wear all that shite apart from their 5 year old kids. Put your city shirt on if thats your thing, get the flags out and shout your nuts off...but all this bollocks about smoke bombs, tinfoil FA cups, foam hands makes most blues puke.

Even that's excessive!
