First thing I noticed when I got in the ground last night was the amount of tourists taking an unreal and ridiculous amount of photos, while wearing a half and half scarf!
One of them even tried throwing me out of my seat, claiming it was his, when his was clearly the one next to mine...this is my season ticket seat you fucking bellwhaft! His mate was infront of us so he wanted to be 'nearer' to him (?!?!?!?!)
Anyway, nearer to kick off, this group of about 15 people (all wearing snide City shirts) went to the front and had a big photo together and then started some chant of their own...WTF?! Why the fuck are you chanting something which has no fucking relevance to City whatsoever? It's like me turning up to Anfield and singing my own song!
The amount of times I heard this blokes' camera was doing my head in...I was going to sleep with the noise in my head!
It's embarrassing that we have 'fans' like the OP. You don't understand what City are, nor appreciate the history of this club. You're as big as an embarrassment to the club as the Green and Gold are to United. You run off ranting to yourself without a trace of irony whilst SPECTACULARLY missing the point of why City are special and what differentiates us from those over the road.
Well said and could not put it any better than this ^^^^^^^

In the 90s every1 loved utd and i wasn't part of it, so i can relate a bit to city fans in the 90s during the utd craze.
Well after following football a bit during the WC, I saw a lot of anti-city articles everywhere, there was this team owned by an Arab from the UAE (i'm from Q8 we're close) and chaired by an Arab and they were getting some serious vitriol by the media. I was drawn, started following them then and there. Glad to see that in one part of Manchester, Arabs aren't the obvious terrorists but are actually thought of positively. Now that i know about the history and what the club went through, and getting to know a couple of the fans on twitter and blue moon well how can't you love City!!!
lol

And why do you say you're 21 (not for the first time)when you obviously aren't.
Well put Q8 and for the record I live nearer to France than I do to Manchester.

Then the next 9 years in Longsight. Therefore City were my local club. Now I'm living in sunny (ha!) Ireland and try to get over for three or four games a season, finances permitting. And when I do get over I do take a few photos as memories of my trip. Sorry if that upsets some on here.

You seem to think your generation has put up with more shit regarding being a blue than any other generation+in my opinion that's bollocks.Why shouldn't they be welcomed?machiavellian said:SilvaisSkyBlue said:Damocles said:It's embarrassing that we have 'fans' like the OP.

Not quite.
He actually spectacularly misses the point as to why the OP, and blues of our generation feel so strongly on this topic, I touched briefly on it in my first response to the thread.
Some pretty bold and unfair claims in there from him too, unjustified in my opinion.
I'll join you as I don't have a Manc accent. Mind you, I've got irate South Standers wanting my blood in t'other thread because I pointed out the bleeding fucking obvious; it didn't work.SWP's back said:Identical background? No
Lads I grew up with? No
I guess I'm fucked then. I'll give up my ticket.
