Myths of the modern day City

[LoveCity]

Created by the media and believed by the masses.

1. Every player is on £200,000/week (or thereabouts)

2. Adam Johnson never gets any game time and is being wasted by Mancini.
2a. Adam Johnson is the new Stanley Matthews and deserves to start every game.

3. City have no history and are trying to buy it.

4. City have thousands of empty seats at every game. (More of a rag delusion)

Any others? Add your own. :)

5. Boring, boring City.

 

[philinho]

City are boring and always play an ultra negative game

 

[urmston]

I heard that Neil Armstrong of Apollo 11 fame put a plaque on the moon in 1969 to celebrate City's FA Cup win earlier that year.

 

[Chungo]

Manchester city started the riots - myth

Nigel De Jong ended the riots - fact

 

[WEMBLEY76]

95% of our fanbase is from Stockport (Rag myth)

 

[Citizen52]

There is no spirit in the squad. Frequent pictures of training ground bust ups mean this must surely be true.

Bloody mercenaries, their contempt for one another in that dressing room after the FA Cup win was there for all to see.

 

[liamctid]

We play with 3 holding midfielders.

The majority of fans don't like Mancini.

The quality of football we watched under Hughes was better *can of worms*

We're just the chavs who won the lottery, and in no way should a club of our size deserve to be in the top four, or pushing for trophy's, whereas teams with great traditions like Wigan fully deserve to be in the top 20 clubs in English football.

Nigel De Jong ended the riots - fact

so true

We are heavily in debt to Sheikh Mansour..They can´t fathom that part really.

From The Game Podcast on Monday specifically Ben Smith who was working himself up into a tizz on Mancini's poor transfer strategy because "he buys all these players and 6 months later freezes them out".

Marcotti asked (three times) which players

"Bellamy, Adebayour and SWP" was the answer

Marcotti pointed out that these players were bought by Hughes

"Ok er Kolarov"

Marcotti pointed out that Kolarov played on Sunday and then asked Oliver Kay to rescue him from this insanity.

It was quite amusing in fairness but quite why journo's fail to research even the most basic facts and then make tits of themselves is beyond me.

There is such thing as 'negative' football.

I heard this and it made me smile, though the next bit wound me up...

You can't defend Mancini's transfer strategy because he signed Balotelli

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Sheikh Mansour will get bored of City and want his money back - Rags have been saying this since September 1st 2008,since its what they want to believe

Yes.

As practiced by Inter in the 60's... Not pretty. But effective.

I wouldn't call it 'negative'. I'd call it defensive.

 

[bob stockport]

That we are trying to buy history - every club spends money,

 

[MCFC BOB]

"You can't buy trophies."

"......You just bought that trophy."

 

[Goodlove]

'You only started supporting them when the money came in'

Next season our kit will be puma.

Usual shit about ruining football.

 

[shindigo]

If Mancini doesn't win the league or champs league, he's gone - because our owners have already shown how impatient/shortsighted they are.
