Is MCFC an allegory?

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Now don't give me that old crap about teams at the bottom and the premier league being difficult etc. Teams at the rock twentieth bottom are there for one good reason only - they're no bloody good and can't win. This is the fifth rock bottom side we have played this season and each one has done us. Explain how we come off the best score and best crowd of Boxing Day and serve up the quality I've just listened to. I have long thought (into my sixth decade) and I know now that MCFC is an allegory. But for what?

to be fair blackburn were only bottom becaue ince was in charge for most of the season. since allardyce came in before today they have taken 4 points from two games. a draw away at blackburn is hardly a terrible result

I started this thread before we got the first. Just looked at the thread on Sturridge and saw someone post that we were dead and buried. Correction - we were dead, CREMATED and buried. An allegory is a story that is meant to be a completely different story. Example: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. However, I still stand by initial comment that we should be showing the likes of twentieth rock bottom the way to goal.

I don't know what an allegory is.

Good point. Take us for an example, we are only where we are because of fucking hughes!!! Under sven we were much better. Hate hughes the welsh twat.

I saw a Blackburn side use their muscle,their still obvious talent up front, and, camp in their own box in numbers when we pressed forward, shit happens.

We were not much better under Sven, we had a good start that's all and it all fell apart in the new year, some very selective memories on here

Are you, perhaps, in suggestion that City are similar to the Phoenix Rising...?

No MCFC is pure purgatory

But i still feel we will end up worse this year than last year, you may hold me to what (and put me on the list lol) but I just feel under sven we looked a much more positive attacking team, where as under mark hughes he likes us to try and scrape wins.

I lived through rationing just in the late forties/early fifties so the fact we haven't won owt for yonks doesn't seem to apply here, I wasn't about for the Great Depression so supporting MCFC could have its allegorical expression in that, but my firm favourite is perhaps life in the trenches during the First World War - but without the shooting bit.

i agree. sick and tired of us scraping past hull 5-1, arsenal 3-0, stoke 3-0, portsmouth 6-0, sunderland 3-0, westham 3-0.
