Didsbury 'I'll do the important matches only' Dave.

Thats fucking priceless son, you've shown your true colours today.
LMFAO

did you go to Dublin just out of interest? hope so because if you're are a proper blue then you find the money don't you no excuses? you must be fuckin skint this summer what with the 3wks you obviously spent over in America too.....you proper big time blue you.

Ive not missed a game in two and a half years.

How old are you mate?

Just want to know who's giving out the lectures on here.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Any other "Bluer Than Thou" mouth want to come on and tell people off for not going?

Fuck you and fuck your Charity Shield.

You should be complementing us for having the foresight not to go, especially given the shocking performance.

I'll be there when it matters like I have been all my life.

Calm down kid.

Some blues have a greater desire to be at a match and support the team than others. Some blues will sacrifice something to afford to go to matches.

Does this make them bigger blues than people that don't go? In a word yes.

Half the fans there yesterday are fans who couldn't get tickets for the semi or final last season.

So are they bigger blues than those who didn't go? 50% yes, 50% no

As a 61 year old you seem to have a very immature way of thinking

half the fans there couldnt get tickets for the final or the semi, have you proof to back that statement up or have you just made it up. truthful answer please

Yes. As I said, I've not missed a game for two and a half years. Took my daughter and the grandkids over, had a fantastic time.

If he did you'd be asking if he went to training everyday too - The point is it was the Charity Shield something we could only have dreamed of taking part in not so long ago. Yes technically a "friendly" but given last years success, the attention and importance given to it by the clubs and media the attendence was poor.

Like I've said a few times Blackburn, Birmingham, West Brom twice, Liverpool, at Spurs we gave them tickets back, Sunderland, West Ham, Chelsea... none of these away games sold out last season. I was at many. Did I come on Bluemoon and call people names or question their loyalty or support? Did I fuck! I'm not a **** and don't act like one. Some people are too insecure and are far too bothered about what other people say about them.

If we don't sell out that^ many away games a season, plus probably 10+ home games too, and look at our early round cup games (all more important than yesterday, all games I went to); then in my eyes we don't have a particularly big support. Is that not in peoples heads already? Do you all live in some dream world where you think we're this huge club with infinate fans? Because I looked around at West Brom away last season and saw that we seriously lack support!

Now why would this be? Well:
Because we aren't a one club town (Newcastle, Leeds, Sunderland; there are 8 professional football teams in Greater Manchester, 4 in the Prem). Because we aren't the biggest club in our town (Villa are in their town; some might think 'all Mancunians are City fans' but that's way off the mark). Because Manchester is only a reasonably sized city (there are that many people living in London that Spurs and Chelsea both have huge supports). Because we went 35 years (a few generations) without winning a trophy (Everton didn't go this long without a trophy). So all these clubs I've listed - plus the big three of Liverpool Arsenal and the Rags - all have potentially bigger support than us, even if they are all pretty much similar sized clubs to us.

Plus then you've got people who never go to away games, or who are only casual fans (as in City are very low down on their list of priorities). Plus you've got people who will be on holiday at this time of year. Plus you've got people who might have personal reasons (my mate and his missus had a baby a few days ago). Plus people have lost their jobs or are simply poor. Plus you've got the many many people who don't really care about the Community/Charity Shield, some who would rather spend their money on other more important games and some who wouldn't go even if they have the money. And we simply don't have the size of support to replace these because of the reasons I've listed in the previous paragraph.

So taking all this into consideration - and remember United's tickets for yesterday went on open sale, which means half of their seasoncard holders didn't bother with the game neither, and they still had empty seats - how can people not understand and take it that yesterday didn't sell out?!

Shame. You could have use some of that time working on a personality.

Oh have you heard her .....

All you gobby "uber fans" need to shut the fuck up and get real. All this cock conkers and shit being directed at Blues who didn't go is complete and utter bollocks.

I actually went yesterday and I really dont need a medal for it. I went yesterday despite me not really being arsed about it. I went yesterday and regretted it when trying to get the fuck out of Wembley.

I also went to Brentford on Saturday, for a nobble.

Ask me about the Brentford game and I'll tell you about a proper game. For 3 points. That mattered. That the fans gave a shit about. Great day. Pissed all over my Wembley "experience".

So put the cocks away and show a bit of respect for fellow BLUES.

Give me fcukin strength..
