Don't let it bother you pal, doesn't bother me. If they are basing their hatred off this website, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook then they are just generalising and trying to drum up a dislike to us. This forum, although the biggest fan forum doesn't represent the majority of City fans, far from it. I'd say it only represents 10% of regular match going blues.
We have our element of idiot fans as every club does, it's just that we have an increasing number becoming fans because we're in the spotlight as a big club nowadays. I picked these posts out by blades who know we are not all bandwagon jumping morons. Good posts. -
As did I, once. I think we lost. I seem to remember Carl Asaba getting sent off as he was lying on a stretcher.
Had the pleasure of seeing Maine road once was a proper football ground
The Kippax was a proper stand. It was noisy as fuck all night. I think we lost, but I remember being a kid and thinking what an awesome stadium it was.
I remember, as a kid, always feeling some sort of affinity with Citeh fans. They, like us, had neighbours who were full of themselves (admittedly theirs were somewhat justified at the time, early 90's), and they were the "working man's club" in a city that was, at the time, dominated by their rivals.
I was genuinely delighted when they won the league. I jumped out of my seat at the "Agueroooooooooooooo" moment, and felt a sense of "what if, if they can do it, then maybe...."
I don't dislike the old guard of City fans. The ones that used to go to Maine Road in the 2nd division, and kept the faith, despite being overshadowed for so long by the biggest, most famous club on the planet. I hope those fans are enjoying the glory and the good times. The ones that did the hard yards when City were an average first division (championship) club.
The new brand of twitter/instagram city fans however. The 12 year olds that used to "support" Barcelona, or Milan, can fuck right off. And keep fucking off until they get there. And then fuck off some more. And when they get back, they can fuck off again

They don't all hate us...
