Do you know, I don’t get any of this crap. I don’t do Twitter and the real fans that I know/meet up with have nothing but respect for what we’ve achieved, even if somewhat begrudging for the red ones.I saw a Villa fan giving it large on twitter how City aren’t a big club. Some City fan mentioned we’ve had higher average attendances than them going back decades, apart from a few seasons here and there. The deluded twat was presented with evidence and still couldn’t accept that City are a bigger club than Villa. It’s amazing what the media can do to a club’s reputation, a lot of people genuinely think we’ve got shit support despite averaging 40k and over for nearly 20 years. It’s not just the criticism of our fan base, we’re apparently cheats, money launderers, boring football, we’ve destroyed English football. Fuck me, the list is endless. I get annoyed when reading idiots talking shit about City, but I snap out of it quickly and realise we’re the team at the top, playing with wonderful football created by a genius manager. Bloody love oil money.
They seem quite fond of the bigger club idea. They have claimed this to me. Villa were in the third tier I recall late 60s when we were winning things and loads of more recent spells of relegation but like to only remember us playing outside the top tier I have found.I saw a Villa fan giving it large on twitter how City aren’t a big club.

Plenty of Villa fans that were very unwelcoming at Wembley, they certainly don’t respect us. Same as Liverpool and United fans, can’t forget Arsenal too. Even fucking Brighton fans in the semi a few years ago were mouthing off. But then you get Sunderland and Watford fans who I can’t say a bad word about.Do you know, I don’t get any of this crap.

It maybe me as I’m very fair to all clubs and willing to debate the issues, which you don’t really get on social media as the only thing they are after is ‘Likes’.
The best moment of this was Miguel Delaney dismissing Stefan’s article that all but called the result as ‘a poorly written piece’ or something similar.They have never forgiven both City and many of our fans, who told them exactly how CAS was likely to go and why, for making a holy show of the lot of them

They’d swap their owners/current standing for ours in a flash if offered, as would every other PL club. That’s what it comes down to ultimately, jealousy.The City thread on VillaTalk is......
Sportswash! - Let’s oil stare at Manchester City!
I might do a Twitter survey about football journalists.
Q. Is Nick Harris a dog bothering weird lying zero professionalism racist utter thundercunt nonce that is somehow making a living as a journalist?
A. Definitely
B. Absolutely
C. Oh Yes
D. 100%
He even shopped around for his own ‘legal expert’ who would confirm his personal bias iircThe best moment of this was Miguel Delaney dismissing Stefan’s article that all but called the result as ‘a poorly written piece’ or something similar.
Even if he dismissed the article with it being written by a City fan, surely Stefan’s background in these sort of arbitrations would tell the donut it would offer a valuable insight into the proceedings.
It just crystallised that it is all purely football tribal driven nonsense, with them using the ‘sportswashing’, City cheats narrative as a front for their hatred of our Club upsetting their favourites. They simply pander to legions of of United & Liverpool fans for click revenue, rather than being actual journalists.
I’m ranting I know
We're really getting under the Pricks skin haha
What case is he talking about? Bennell?
I can guess if involves us as he is a one trick pony with a one trick hobby horse but cannot see how he appears as a witness. He mentions working pro bono. That is a good way to admit no-one will pay him for his 'work'. It seems to be the journalistic equivalent of an unemployed or unemployable actor saying he is 'resting'.
Perhaps l am missing a lot because l don't use Twitter but l am not going to change that.
When we are at a game it is very different to talking to individual fans on a one-to-one basis. I find the match going fans are far more informed whilst those who could be classed as ‘plastics’, mainly through social media, have the loudest voices because they just want to be accepted, especially the Red tops.Plenty of Villa fans that were very unwelcoming at Wembley, they certainly don’t respect us.

Wherever it turns up, you just know you should never to touch that rag again.Harris is obviously going to present this "research" as some serious and independent study of fan opinions. The question is "where ?".
As many have pointed out, the questions wouldn't have passed scrutiny for research at GCSE level so heaven knows who would take it seriously.
Having said that, the questions in the fan-led review survey were nearly as bad and Government is taking that seriously.
Villa… another club with fans living in the past.And deep down they all know they would swap places in a heartbeat
