Melbourne City FC Thread

[moomba]

Reading a few things from the Melbourne Victory supporters since the derby, and a lot are displaying the same overconfidence, arrogance and lack of awareness a lot of rags had in our first year sincenthe takeover.

When it happens, and it will happen, it will hit them as hard as it hit the rags.

Hi all,

Went down to my first game in the Melbourne City Era last night and I would like to say a massive thank you to the City Group

-Thank you so much for providing my team with our worst ever derby loss
-Thank you for providing my team with a marquee player who couldn't be bothered trying in our most important game of the season
- Thank you for promising an improve in results and professionalism and delivering worse results than we had at this point last year

Thank you for taking away my club- my main club in world football and replacing it with the most plastic, cringe worthy club in world football. there is no identity with this team. If not for the old heart fans chanting the same chants with no mention of city and chanting for our boys in red and white, then there would be no support whatsoever for Manchester City of Melbourne FC.

Thank you for replacing my team, and my passion. Thank you for you care in our clubs colors and fans.

Thank you for completely removing my interest in Australian club football.

To the Manchester city fans thinking why is this a big deal:

Was your club bought out and made to change colours, made to change your name, and your identity as a whole? no.

So big thanks to all at the city group for ruining one of the great joys of my life.

You are my club, and you will always be- Melbourne Heart FC

Fuck me that's an over reaction! Your club was founded in 2009!!! 2009!!! You're 5 years old! MK Dons have more soul than your club do and that's saying something. Your clubs record appearance holder has 82 appearances and your record goal scorer has 15 goals... we have players who score more than that in a season. Get a grip! Whilst David Villa may have had an off day I believe he has already scored a couple for you and you should be proud that he is wearing the shirt considering what he has achieved in his career.

Understandably difficult to see changes to your club, its name, its colours etc., but even Man City did not become Man City until 1894, some 14 years after the club formed, initially as St. Marks, Gorton in 1880 and then Ardwick in 1887, and initially as St. Marks played in scarlet\black top and white shorts, rather than the now traditional sky blue. Even Arsenal used to be Woolwich Arsenal and played in South London not North London (thus Spurs perhaps not really their local rivals)

If Melbourne Heart\Melbourne City are truly your team, simply stick with them and support them even if things get worse before they get better.

No club is a 'plastic club', a very overused phrase and an easy way to describe clubs injected with money that have traditionally not been rich. Every club has its core of loyal supporters who are defiant and stick with the club throughout, and hope\dream one day of living through memorable moments with it.

Th Abu Dhabi group that own Man City (men and womens teams), Melbourne City and New York City FC and have other part ownership in other teams in Japan and Africa want success for all of them. That may well take time for all of these clubs (even here at Man City we are waiting to show we can compete on the European stage, despite good domestic success), but the aims of the owners are in the main wanting good for each club. So all I can say is keep faith, support your team and wait for hopefully better times to come.

Ha ha. Nice try. The word "massive" in the first sentence gives you away.

I'm curious. At what age do you believe a club "earns" the right to have fans?

Incidentally, it's only seven years since our top scorer for the season struggled to score seven goals (lower than Heart have ever had as a top scorer total), and that despite having played almost twice as many games as Heart/City have ever played in a season, so that's a pretty poor insult to aim at another club.

Brings a tear to the eye.

I'm curious as to why you're being such a pedantic moron. I've never questioned a clubs rights to having fans. But it's about perspective. The club is 5 years old. Are you saying that fans of Melbourne City will feel as aggrieved as Cardiff City fans for changing their shirt colour. Or Hull City when it was mentioned that they would be changing their name? These are clubs with stories to tell and success and misery over a long period of time. It's the same as listening to a 5 year old talk about the hard times or the good old times and then listening to a 90 year old. Even moving to the Etihad stadium took time to get used to. There was no history to it and the atmosphere at times was a bit flat. Now we have stories to tell and things are different. You can't seriously feel too aggrieved for this poor Melbourne fan who has to suffer watching David Villa jog around a pitch and succumb to their worst derby defeat ever (5 years). Get a grip.
