It’s time to banish the miserable gits

Thank you for the reply. Naively I assumed throwing the game was akin to what you said about a boxer taking a dive.
If that’s the case I understand a little bit more. I don’t agree with that way of thinking at all but everyone is entitled to their opinion on things. Personally I’ve always thought pep has tried his best to win every game for city and that his ego has nothing to do with how he manages.

Yes he gets some things wrong and makes mistakes but every manager does that. Alternatively if he made a couple of subs and it went wrong and we lost then what would be the thinking around that.

But anyway I appreciate the reply.

that was constructive. he was talking shite.
on Pep nothing will convince me that he's as good as the sheep make out. he's good but throws games with his ego.

8 trophies doesn’t convince you ?

Maybe if as expected we win it again then 4 league titles in 5 years might seem a little bit more convincing.

Happy clappers
Random shouters

Toilet smokers

Concourse singers
Drunks arriving 5 minutes latw
People leaving 10 mins early.

That is all part of the match day experience,

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

I’m happy to be shot down on this. There are plenty of folk who think that paying their entrance fee gives them the right to say anything during the match - but there has to be a limit.
The miserable old git behind me at Palace spent 90 minutes slagging off the whole team and style of play. Not a positive word came out of his mouth. He did not join in with the chants that can motivate the players.
Others around me shrugged their shoulders and bit their lip but, like me, said nothing to him. A bit like the way racists used to be tolerated, but not called out.
We should unite against the miserable gits, tell them to change or bugger off to somewhere where they have every reason to be miserable- the swamp perhaps.
Then replace them with appreciative vocal fans who can raise the collective mood, even on days when things don’t go so well.

I think he had a right to moan
 
"Do you solemnly swear, *to clap the team, *praise the team, *forsake all forms of abuse to manager and players, *to sing and wave coloured cloths,
*and never ever leave early. The asterix marks mandatory compliance
Application Denied..cctv evidence of you frowning at our player being off-side is inexcusable, no matter how many times it happens.
Anyway, thanks for the laughs op, obviously a great deal of frustration drove you to it. Practical solutions to racism have not been found, a rather more urgent problem, imo. Maybe, when we all speak russian it could happen ynk....
 
As much as I delighted in their downfall last night, there is something that's desperately fanatical about the way the rags get behind their team, with constant UNITED UNITED

In contrast, even when we desperately need a goal, most blues seemingly prefer to sing about players no longer with us or incidents from 5 years ago.

Whatever happened to COME ON CITY!?

What a load of old shite. You'd have gone home crying every week if you'd had a season ticket in Block H at Maine Road.

Bloody Johnny come lately, happy clapping, Pep Guardiola duvet sleeping sycophants.

I may not agree with everything people around me say at the match, or what they say on here, but I'd never deny them the right to say it.

You pays your money, you makes your choice. If you don't like hearing/reading opposing views, don't go. Simples.
 
Everyone's entitles to moan, and everyone else is entitled to take the piss out of them. They're the sort of miserable people who's only outlet is to put everyone/everything else down so that they can appear better than everyone else.... Know it alls, people who mainly bring negativity, I spend a lot of time avoiding those sorts, having them in my teams (They bring everyone else down), engaging with them - You cant win. If I have to listen to it I usually just overshout it with positive, encouraging stuff (Whether thats in public or team meetings) . They look dickheads in general so I help them along.

Soz to the OTT moaners, other than that you're probably very nice people.

Same could be said of this forum at times though, I've often come along hoping to join in a happy, confident pre-match chat (or post-match, even when we've won) and signed out again just as quickly because all I see is people slagging the team off time and time again. Sometimes I have to look at the league table just to check we're still top and not bottom.

Often wonder where some of those people were 20 years or so ago...

Maybe they should have a moaning old git section instead of a singing section. Everyone else can sing and have a good time and they can moan at other moaners and keep themselves happy/miserable.

I used to sit in front of one at Maine Road and actually moved my season ticket away from what they'd suggested so I could get away from him.

Either way, I think that reference is apt.

I was considering timestamping it to show the whole of his "Everything is going wrong, there's no hope", despair speech but it would have probably been too long.

"My line has ended." - City moaner equivalent: The season is over.

Pippin: "He's alive" - Optimistic City fan: We are still top of the league and it's still in our hands.

*carries on pretending not to hear him*

"The house of Stewards has failed." - City moaner equivalent: Pep is a failure and we'll never win the CL with him.

Pippin again: "He needs medicine my lord!" - Optimistic City fan: He's the best manager in the world bar none, City's most successful manager and City have the best chance of winning it with him.

*ignores again*

"My line has ended!" - City moaner equivalent: Season's over...

"Rohan has deserted us." - City moaner equivalent: Foden didn't turn up, he's gone shit.

"Théoden has betrayed me." - City moaner equivalent: Grealish was a waste of money, he'll never make it... Txiki's fault.

... *Fully loses it*

"Abandon your posts! Flee! Flee for you lives!" - City moaner equivalent: Lets all just give the title race up now. Liverpool will win more than us, I've seen it in my crystal ball. Mass walk out next game, with "Pep out" banners. That'll help! Who's with me?

I've used this anecdote a couple of times, but I once sat behind someone who slagged David Silva off for the whole game and sarcastically applauded when he was subbed off. He didn't have a bad game, just hated David Silva, of all people. We won the game, he was involved in one of our goals.

There are some City fans, and I suspect some football fans, who don't know how to engage with their team outside of negativity and hostility. Plenty on here. That isn't to say we should never be critical, but there are some that don't know how to support team outside of being absolute bell ends. Dunno if the 90s broke their brains or whatever.

They might even start their own chants that way.

"You're shit and you know you are" and so on.

I wouldn't say we were poor, a few inches either way when we hit the post it would have been a comfortable win.
Missing sitters could be described as poor finishing, but for me the overall performance was decent.
