Paroniod agenda ? No, never - not really !
The day we believe , actually believe refs are bent and / or the FA is, the game is over. By all means believe refs are human, can make HONEST mistakes and try their best to be even handed and carry on enjoying the great game.
Media agenda, Well that's a different thing, those immoral bastard journalists will write anything to get a story printed, their editors want scum stories to sell papers so they crawl up every rag arse they can, just as they did with red bin dippers in the late 70's and 80's.
Inferiority complex with, or obsession with all things scum- depends on your definition. I first stood on the Kippax in 1967 and for years knew we were at the very least better than them. I have attended over 60 derbies and never seen a ushited player in possession, only blues with it or trying to get it back. Obsession, maybe.
Inferiority complex, never, but I have never missed an opportunity to take the piss out of them, (is that obsession?) being Blue built up a resilience to turn everything back on them. I remember 3 of us going to Doncaster ( desparate to see any City team win a game) , the night after losing in the league cup away at boro, and watching the youth team lose in the "Youth FA Cup proper". Returned to the pub full of scum who'd just beaten west ham in the league cup and wiping the floor with them. Birtles not been able to score. Robson in the ladies. York hammering them in the league cup ( them bastards went to York away, I didn't) only winning the treble when we came back from the death in the play off final. Sexton and Doherty. Knighton. far too many examples to write here.
This summer has been by far the best for piss taking, the last few years were the build up, they knew we were coming - you could see the fear.
Now the paronia is here, can we do it again and finally kill them off for years to come?
