Holy cow - I've just cringed myself into a foetal position

I still think we are great, humble and appreciate what we've got in the main. If other fans want to believe the "loadsamoney" press angle then more fool them.

We were here when we were shit.

I don't know what your problem is because all of that part of the post is bang on! Some City fans have become a complete fucking joke in the last 2 and a half years; arrogance, disrespect, cuntish outlooks.... You only have to browse through the first four or five pages of this forum and the 'looking down on' Stoke and acting as if we're gonna walk the final as if they're some sort of a joke is a really fucking shit state of affairs. You knobs embarrass me and many other proper blues. You morons who follow the same club as me, give me a bad name even though I have a fair and balanced view on everything, just because I'm associated with you by club. But I'm miles away from being an arrogant prick like many blues have become!

I don't blame any fan of any club having this outlook on City fans of today!

That's strange because most of the posts I've read from blues on here are at the most, cautious optimism. A fair few fear the worst because it's a hard habit to break. A few are getting giddy granted but to label your fellow fans as morons and knobs doesn't strike me as having a fair and balanced view. Go and have a lie down son.

Dan whilst its commendable that your taking an unbiased view on this, I really don't know what examples of 'arrogance, disrespect and cuntish outlooks' you could be referring too, I haven't noticed anything untoward or out of proportion in relation to other clubs or even the way we were pre 2008.

Is there any particular incident thats helped you form this opinion? (preferably a matchday experience not just some keyboarder thats pissed you off)

Compared to the Classless disrespectful tw-ts that their neighbours have become!

Give me back the Man City of old. Great fans in the 80's and 90's. Hated their more successful neighbours, like everyone else, with a passion but they were great fans who like ourselves supported their club through thin and thinner with loyalty till the end.

In the 80's/90's I remember a coach load of them always used to stop off at The Winghouse Pub in Tittensor on their way to away games, lead by probaby the fattest football fan in the world but what a nice fella. The Man City top he wore was basterdised from about 4 other shirts to get it to fit! Never any probs with them even though the pub would also be full of Stokies going to the Victoria Ground. Friendly banter and a kind of acceptance that this really was the way to be a football fan rather than taking the easy route and jumping on the " bandwagon " of supporting Man you or, in those days, the very successful Liverpool.

But what on earth has become of them now they have a few quid to spend to try and buy some success. Firstly they have a "souless" new stadium that even makes Lego Brittania look like a Micheal Angelo masterpiece! Their fans feel they have a god given right to eat at the top table yet after many years already of a " Pot full of Gold" they haven't achieved a single thing!

They have become disrespectful of other clubs all of a sudden to the point of absolute gutter insults. I'm all for a bit of banter but some of it is pure hatred and not even mildly amusing! At least their very very successful neighbours in comparison have, at minimum, earned the right to be cocky towards other clubs due to their demonstrable success and are deserving of the hatred sent their way. These lot still aren't on the radar really but are quickly earning the tag of most loathed club in the UK.

Their fans are sounding like a more dislikable Man Utd fan every single day, god help us, two sets of "shit" fans in one City. One deserves the tag the other is laughable in terms if what they think they are now! Get a grip guys your making yourselves look very silly!

Man City- You have no class, no real history of success, Your fans have become plastic just like your stadium, players and Manager. You will never in a million years match the success of "them" across the road and they will forever laugh at you! You can only try and pick on clubs like little ol Stoke because you can percieve them to be smaller than you! Clubs like Stoke, Bolton, Blackburn, Birmingham, Wolves WBA etc etc, you get the drift will always be "bigger" clubs than you because they have real fans still and know where their place is in the pecking order. Your current perception of Grandeur is so funny it has made me laugh as I type.

God I hope we do them on Saturday. Gooarrrrn Stoke.

City fans have always been percived as cocky, above themselves and arrogant, but they liked us in spite of that. I live outside Manchester and I know that's how people have viewed us generally.

The difference now is that we're becoming successful. The only thing that's changed is their perception of us in relation to that fact.
 
Talking of history, looking at the average attendancies for the season 98/99 ours was just under 29k where as Stokes was under 13k in the same league, so ours was larger back then than theirs is now and they've acquired 14k glory hunting premier league plastic fans, oh the hypocrsy of the six fingered inbreds
 
danburge82...

Oh do fuck off! There are plastic fans in every club. What do you expect people to do when they have their hopes raised? Walk round with heads bowed chanting we're not worthy? Utter garbage you're talking! Blue together, especially this week..... You're on this journey or off it, time to make your mind up.........

It's called optimism, after 47 years, can't speak for you but I'm relishing the attention and the jealousy, bring it on!
 
People are going to slag us off at every turn. One minute we're being told money can't buy success, or team spirit. Then we're being told we've bought our success???

The reason most other fans always said they 'liked ' city was because we were never in a position to win things compared with those lot from over the road.

It's something we need to get used to as do the team. Fuck Stoke and their moaning. They'll come out with any shit, all in the name of envy.

As for the posts about arrogance, I just don't get where that's coming from at all. All the blues I've spoken to have got no nails left.
