Re: Luton v Wombles Sat
Oh my God!
Please don't tell me you're trying to equate the birth of the trade unions with FC United?
Talk about inflated egos and an arrogance matched only by those you chose to copy!
Don't try to pretend you're some plucky underdog fighting the nasty capitalists... when you first formed you had a support of 3,000 ands were facing teams who had literally three men and a dog.
Why throw in the socialist aspect when other clubs at that level were run by volunteers and a Chief Exec who did the job for free and claimed only expenses... when your club appointed a Chief Executive paid on a salary that even Gordon Taylor would be impressed with! What is it... £25,000 a year?
And you've got a couple of full-timers being paid that, haven't you?
Don't quote socialist principles to me when the reality is that the owner has his finger in the pie, to such an extent he can give up his real job.
You are known as hypocrites for this very reason... quote co-operative principles... and pay yourself as a fat cat!
So for 20 years you lived off the glory, the big signings, all the trappings of success... then Chelsea happened. So what did you do? Back your club? No... fucked off and put together a tribute band.
I really could take you so much more seriously if this was genuine rather than an excuse for a piss-up and the intimidation of smaller clubs... and that most of your "followers" didn't support another club!
At least Wimbledon FC are the genuine article, rather than the plastic fakes you lot are.
AndyFcum said:Soulboy said:LongsightM13 said:You seem to forget the hundreds of millions our club is investing in the regeneration of Manchester. Yes, that's right, putting money into the city, not taking it out like certain foreign owners. Or certain clubs whose fans still sing about City living in a 'council house' — and then go begging for a council bedsit.
Oh, yes, I forgot. Your franchise club is the first in the world ever to have communty schemes.
None of the 'real' non league clubs with tradition and history (oops, that word again) do any of this sort of stuff.
Neither do City. I must have imagined City's extensive, universally heralded and award winning City In The Community scheme, incorporating everything from health and education schemes for everyone from toddlers to pensioners, to the Kickz sport and music project to give young people in Manchester an alternative to crime and gang culture. I must have imagined it was so far ahead of the work done by ANY other club that one of its team was chosen to be part of the World Cup bid presentation team. I must have imagined the huge commitments to adopted charities, the Sierra Leone link-up etc.
How couldthat compete with a few games of five-a-side?
The fact is, and you people can never get away from this, is that you are not a breakaway club because you have never broken away.
You cannot be a breakaway club iif you still support the parent monster.
There is the massive difference between you and AFC Wimbledon. They would never cheer MK Dons, for they have integrity. They have loyalty.
You cheer United because you want to have your cake and eat it. You have no integrity. You have no concept of loyalty.
You have no dignity and, from what I've seen, no respect from anyone other than the deluded faction of the United support who do not despise you for your treachery, and their media apologists.
AFC Wimbledon are a club to be admired.
Yours is a club to be despised.
You certainly are not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as them.
Phew!
Absolutely brilliant summary of the contradiction that is the Fuckems.
I know quite a few of them, regulars, and not a single one of them doesn't still support the rags, doesn't still go to the big games.
I wouldn't mind as much, but they constantly play the loyalty card when they are as far removed from the word loyalty that it is possible to find.
No one is denying City's community work, but we're not talking about that are we? You don't need anyone's help either. Its maybe the Labour Council wanting to support a kind of workers' co-operative and maybe be seen to helping another set of fans? I also never claimed we were the same as Wimbledon, those are your words. The rest of your "brilliant summary" is just filled with your hate of everything about United - opinions which i'm not gonna change writing on here. But being from Manchester, the home of trade unionism, should stand for more than you inflatable bananas do.
