Manchester City FC the Forever Underdogs Of Manchester??

[r.soleofsalford]

mate in the eyes of other fans we are still joke, or laughing stock, and results like yesterday only enforce this view, but to quote bob dylan the times they are a changing. and the sooner the fucking better. i will take the upmost delight in shoving it down the throats of all the red twats i see.

sorry mate but why are we a laughing stock and a joke..we were in 4th spot yesterday morning and we still have a good chance of 4th by the end of the season..

we lost 1-0 to the scum in injury time....upsetting yes..embarrassing....no.

sam mate, i didnt say we were, i said that is how others see us.

derbies are always the same wherever you are, always the same reaction from the fans, the loser is always gutted.yesterday we lost to(whether you like it or not)to a team thats been winning for 20 years.last season we got beat by brighton and notts forest,got plenty of stick for that and will get it tomorrow.so get a grip, football is like that,take it on the chin or stop going and go fishing,
btw .. I am fuckin gutted

 

[BTH]

we will ALWAYS be in the shadow of united..

Reluctantly, I have to agree.

I don't know what it is, but those bastards always get any luck that's going. Always have done, always will do. They're a bit like people in pubs and at work who, whenever there's a football card or a raffle, always win it. How many penalties in a season? How many own goals? It's ridiculous?

Now we know they always get the rub of the green - then complain they don't; refs never give them anything - when the opposite is true and they complain about the media - who eat out of their hands and thank them for being able to do so.

It was ever thus and for those who seek solace in their expected demise, when Ferguson eventually leaves or drops dead, forget about that too, because even when they were shit - and there were plenty of times in my memory, even though their 'loyal' fans wouldn't recall, wouldn't know or wouldn't want to know - and yet they still won the FA Cup one year in every two or three.

Sometimes, being a City fan is exasperating. Yesterday was one of those days - another one. Of course we deserve better; we deserve something at any rate, but our players yesterday should be charged with professional negligence if only because the rags are renowned for last-gasp winners - two out of three games already this season had proven that much.

In the next few days the MUEN will be the size and weight of a flagstone and the rest of the fawning media will be falling over themselves, giddy with glee, and we'll all have to endure the taunts from the 'loyal' halfwits who wouldn't know a turnstile if they fell through one that "City are shit"; " will all always be in our shadow" and "34 years" and that in essence is why their very taunt of 34 years has been turned around and hurled down their throats and turned into a cause célèbre, because we know and, crucially, they know that most of them wouldn't hang around for 3 or 4 years without a trophy, never mind 34!

Just as the majority of us have not known success and possibly never will do, similarly the vast majority of them have never known failure. It drives them because it frightens them: simply because most of them have never known anything else; they didn't hitch up to the bandwagon until 1992/93. They just weren't there during the barren years and won't be there when they come around again.

The year before their first Premiership win, when their ground was roughly the same size as ours and held approximately 48,000, their biggest crowd was 47,576 against Forest. They had 44,997 in their "big derby" against Liverpool and 46,781 against us, when Giggs supposedly scored in a 1-0 win. So much for them mocking yesterday's crowd of 47,019 (certainly not our biggest this season); not only were most of them not there; they simply don't know or even understand the history of the club they purport to support.

It is for these reasons that we'll always be able to look the B&Q reds and the Teletext reds, the "what colour do we play in again?" and the "can't get a ticket" brigade, the FC United of Bury weirdos and the yellow and green-clad rags in the eyes and genuinely state that, whatever happens, "I'm City 'til I die."

Good post which has cheered me up slightly.

Reminds me why i'm proud to be a blue!

Manchester City F.C. the only football team to come from Manchester

 

[scowy68]

And why is it that they have been so successful over the past 20 odd years?because like Arsenal,they have stability where it matters?a man that knows the club inside out,a man that has built success at Old Trafford the way he wanted to,a man that knows how to win football games.

With Ferguson nearing the end of his time,and the rags seemingly in financial dire straits,it's a great opportunity to push on challenge for top honours,our club is in good hands,but the blueprint for success is very close to home.if we are to achive anything as a football club,we don't have far too look for how it's done.

Ahem, thanks. I find it therapeutical.

'Forever' is a long time, and includes the past.

I can remember when we used to piss on United every time we played them, when we all used to go to derbies expecting to win. There is one game at Maine Road where the Rags were so gash it was laughable, Rodney Marsh ran rings round them and even my Rag mates agreed they'd been dire.

Those days will come again! Keep the faith, we are nearer to being the top side now than at any time since round about 1977. If it doesn't come next year it will come.
