Good post.It's all bollocks as well we know.
I could accept "soulless" if, like MKD we didn't exist 20 odd years ago but we have a rich, interesting (and traumatic for the fans) history going back 129 years.
We won major trophies before Arsenal and the rags, we won the FA Cup three times before the dippers won it.
We held crowd records at Maine Road and regularly filled the Etihad (or COMS as it was) before the takeover.
Soulless is a word that fans use when they think they're being clever:
All new grounds are deemed "soulless", not because they are, but because they aren't badly re-developed crumbling shitholes.
Fans are soulless if they support successful teams but fans of lower division team are "real fans". That's utter shite; fans who go to games are real fans whoever they support.
And there was nothing "soulless" about the atmosphere last night.
What i find amusing is many of those daubing us(especially rags) with the 'soulless' stick don't go to games.
I soon fuck them off if they try and wind me up.

I should take this advice ;-)Good post.

Plus some Red Bin dippers moaning about a small minority of nasty chants about Hillsborough while forgetting the Coach attack on our team bus (Nobody charged!), the fact that all English clubs had years out of Europe. Not suggesting Heysel was their fault but there is a common denominator. For certain we do not have their fan base but that does not mean we are Plastics. History? We have that, record attendance of 84k for a club ground and we are writing into the history books all the time.They cannot heap any praise on the quality of the football, particularly last night's, so they have to denigrate and come up with a word or phrase that attempts to give them the moral high ground. "We don't want yer money - we'd rather help old ladies across the road. It makes us better people!" But I bet yer sweet bippy they'd love to have what we have but played out at their ground.
Some of those records won't be broken for a long time!Plus some Red Bin dippers moaning about a small minority of nasty chants about Hillsborough while forgetting the Coach attack on our team bus (Nobody charged!), the fact that all English clubs had years out of Europe.

It meant last a lot longer than you think. Pep is a genius, a one off. However if the club handle the next managerial transition as well as they manage just about everything else our status as a top well ran club (probably the best) will have longevity.Honestly.......who gives a fuck what other fans think?
Do you think they gave a shit when we were languishing in Division 3?
No...they laughed at us
I'm loving this era.....drink it in blues. It may not last.

“no matter what they do.” One of the many joys of this golden period is that any challenger has to slowly build to a competing position and then hope they manage at least one honour before they inevitably fall away. That must be psychologically taxing.We are now being seen by the opposition as a winning machine and therefore perceived as 'soulless' because machines lack character or individuality and therefore lacking in humanity. Our continued winning means it is becoming 'tedious' (or inevitable) in some eyes.
Basically, we are perceived as so good and vastly superior that it has taken away the joy of the overall competition as far as the opposition are concerned and it helps them deal with the fact that we are simply the better than them no matter what they try to do.
Who cares?Now, I've heard this phrase bandied about this year, to describe us, by fans [and family].
I have asked what this means especially after explaining the context of our history, fans and redemption on and off the pitch, so how does that explain the accusation.
What do you think they mean or what's really going on with oppo fans...?

Wow, that is confidence, removing your hair band just before you KNOW you are going to score!L'Oreal advert. I knew he was bagging soon as he let his hair down. Said to my Dad Erl wants some goal celebration glamour shots here.
