I f*cking love this club

My uncle used to call me Blue but I didn't know why. My dog is called Blue and, 48 years later, I know exactly why I named her that. I was born in Moss Side in '68 and hardly remember anything from when I was a kid, beyond my love for City. I never even kicked the ball in my yard without putting my City gear on. If it's in you, it's in you. It's part of the reason why I cannot stand the moaning - support your team, offer constructive criticism where it's due but never, ever call one of our own useless, shite, Plodri or any of the other insults that have recently been offered; they play for US, they are US, and there is nothing like it. I cannot even go near Claremont Road now without literally feeling the walk to the North Stand with my dad or my grandad, passing Arties and smelling the hot dogs and onions. Absolutely, the most vivid sights and smells of my youth.

A good post indeed.

But i think its such passion that breeds the moaning in some.When they see a player who they dont believe is giving their best,emotion intervenes and the emotion and insults kick in.

I'm not saying thats the ideal approach.....but it is a reason,and its undertandable to a degree.Football has always been an outlet for the working mans emotion,it's why so many of us are so invested in the game.

No issue with constructive criticism. Name calling and insults of our players are not for me - that's what you do to other teams, not your own, IMO.

i dont wish to hi-jack this thread, i have always found City to be caring about its fans. In the late 80's a family friend and season ticket holder for decades was badly injured in a car crash. I came up to help them run their business for a few months, in that time i went and saw our old family friends who owned the Cake Box on Fog Lane, well one of their daughter knew a few of the City players. The next time i popped over for a brew they had two A4 headed paper with all the first team squad and management with messages and signed to pass on to our friend in hospital. It cheered our friend up big time and he made his missus put it in a frame and hung it up over his hospital bed :)

Part of being a City fan is to have a good old moan

We were brought up on it

But if any Rag or other fan had a pop you would always defend club, player, manager as it was only our right to moan about them
