Happy Clappers

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.

Can really see who’s got the minerals in our support after this last month. I bet some have even called in sick at work to avoid the banter after some of the performances/results, the soft fuckers.

The City accounts on X have really shown up our support of late. Never seen such a bunch of entitled shithouses in me life where so-called City fans are involved.
 
lot of people on here see things black and white and nothing in between. you’re either absolute dog shite one game and no chance of ever improving or the sun shines out of your arse and are unstoppable. Some posters can’t seem to grasp a player can play shit for a game or 2 or even 5 but still be a very good player.

Example. Ortega makes a world class save- should be our number one from now on let’s bin Eddie off.

Next Game ortega does a bad pass that ultimately less to a goal - he’s all of a sudden not good enough to be number 1 and Eddie should be back in goal.


and this whole people vent and say things in the heat of the moment is absolute bollocks. You’re literally typing it out your not saying it you could easily not press send. There’s a huge difference between rightly criticising the team or a player if they’ve made a mistake but some of the shit that gets said it’s fuckin unbelievable where some are so bad it has to be rival fans on a wind up

Did you celebrate any of our trophy wins or just move on and think about our first pre season friendly?

Celebrate on the day, move on.

Having worked in Senior Management for many years, I learned that resting on laurels can be a recipe for disaster. You've always got to be looking forward, looking to improve.

The history is all very nice to look back on, but the simple fact is that this season's squad (particularly without Rodri) has nowhere near the level of quality as last year.

As I say, some people at the club appear to have been complacent, taking their eyes off the ball when it came to succession planning for this season and beyond.

The job is never finished. Change is an essential part of progress.
