It originally comes from those things Leicester fans had that made clapping sounds.
I never really considered myself a "Happy Clapper" but if it means not slagging off our greatest ever manager, not thinking I know better than one of the best football Brains to have lived & showing the great man a little bit of well deserved respect then fair enough sign me up.
Someone that can't see the wood for the trees and can't accept criticism.
I can't stand them, fans like them are small time for me.
We are now an elite football club, we employ the best is class throughout the club from top to bottom, the ownership expect the best and the best efforts.
Nothing wrong with calling people out when they don't do their jobs to the best of their ability.

I think there are a lot of fans like me that have supported city through thick and thin since May 2012 and have seen some pretty dark times as well as success. Will we go back to supporting Utd? - no, or certainly not yet, but things will have to improve.

I am not a "happy clapper" but if you expect me to call out our manager, our team, our board then you are going to have a long fucking wait. It is a tough watch yes at the moment but the meltdowns I am seeing are simply pathetic bordering on being entitled.
They way I see it is this. There is a clear split in the dynamics of our fan base. You can deny it all you want but it is clear to see. Us older generation who were at Maine Road, seeing us lose week in week out with little expectation are now the ones saying that this is nothing to what is what like. We get criticised for harping on about the "good old days" or even mentioning "Maine Road" but that is the fucking reality of being an older blue. The younger generation have NEVER seen bad times and now we are in this run are questioning the whole dynamics of the manager, the team, the board etc etc. True expectations are high now with what has happened over the past 10 - 15 years but I am afraid some need to take a long hard look at themselves! Criticise where it is due. I have openly criticised certain players who I do not think are up to the job but I will never criticise my club simply because of the memories they have given me and my family.
2 yrs ago we won a fucking treble. Let me repeat that, a fucking treble! Both young and old celebrated together. All I see now is a lack of togetherness and open criticism towards the club, board etc.
Reality is expectation is a lot higher these days and correctly so we should not be playing so badly. The gaffer , the team need to look at themselves and try to turn it around as soon as possible but this may get worse before we start to turn a corner. My take on the current issue is simple. An ageing team and a lack of quality investment over the past 2 plus summers. Now I don't know the ins and out of how the board works or what constraints they have put on them but the team is lacking in certain areas.
I will continue however to go home and away and support my fucking team through the bad times and the good times. Any entitled twats who think we should simply win week in week out need to grow a pair, face the challenge and just realise football is not the be all and end all in life.
See you Sunday.

I would say that's being more a subservient sycophant so don't worry about being labelled a 'clapper' :-)
