Fabianski, I am 41 in a few weeks, and had my first season ticket in the mid-80s, so my time as a blue has pretty much coincided with the worst period of or history, third division and all. So not quite a bandwagon jumper. I certainly haven't forgotten the days of regular hidings from Arsenal, home and away. But the relationship between the fans was better in them days. I especially remember the game when you were four up after 20 minutes, the banter between the City fans and Gooners was excellent that day. However, this seems to have soured since we signed two of your high-profile players and are now presumably perceived as more of a threat, Fair play to you for sticking up for yourself and your club, mind. We'll just have to agree to disagree. The return game should be interesting to say the least and let's hope there's no unpleasantness on or off the field and that we get a proper 11 v 11 game.

Disgraceful and well done to the Blues who stood it the way of it getting any worse. I walk that route, saw it kicking off on the main road but didn't see anything down that passage way. And glad I didn't as I had my own son with me.monkey-trousers said:There was a group of six Arsenal fans cutting through the passages from the ground towards the Townley after the game. Three middle aged blokes, one lad in his late teens and two children, one a lad about fourteen, the other a girl about ten yrs old. They were slightly behind us and chatting quietly amongst themselves. Suddenly the lad in his late teens was flattened by a dickhead who said, "welcome to Manchester". A few other city fans who saw what happened had a bit of a go at the 'city' fan, who quickly realised he wasn't going to get a pat on the back for his actions. He made a quick dash to the Townley with his smirking accomplice in tow.
The incident was disgraceful, cowardly and highly embarrassing. The arsenal lad was clearly shaken. The other two kids were also upset and frightened. I had two of my kids with me, who also witnessed the whole thing.
We walked with these Arsenal fans for about 1/2 mile as they were parked near us and they were ordinary football fans who follow their team, just like we all do on here.
Tonight, if I am honest, I feel ashamed that this could have happened within yards of the ground. Some knobhead will be stood at the bar, bragging about his act of bravado, while some ordinary decent football fans might be thinking twice about their next trip away, as a result of his actions. Well done big man!

Fabianski said:And I personaly think the money has gone to a lot of City fans heads and they act so acordingly which is one of the reasons you are no longer respected but then I am just making a sweeping statemeant to one post, in reality most of you are good to have a debate with on here and know your roots. Least your not like the Chelsea fans!
