I was born in Manchester, I live in Manchester, I will die in Manchester.
I live City, I dream City, I breath City.
I was born a City fan into a family of City fans. I am named after Michael Summerbee.
I have 6,000 loyalty points. I can't remember the last time I missed a domestic game home or away. I watch City abroad in both competitive European games and pre season friendlies.
I have watched City in the third division. I have watched City compete for silverware.
I am by no means a wealthy individual. City is my life and in the hierarchy of what's important to me City always comes out at the top. Only my health and my children are of greater importance and even then I have risked my health and let down my children for the club I love.
In no particular order I have little or no time for people on BM who:
Have chosen (for whatever reason to support City) and then have the nerve to slag them off.
Have chosen to live outside Manchester and then complain that they can't get to games.
Don't go to games then whinge when they can't get a ticket for the Swamp and other important fixtures.
Don't go to games and then claim to be an authority on a particular matter or incident just because they have heard some so called pundit say it or have seen it from 20 different camera angles.
Think they are better or more knowledgable than me just because they have clocked up more posts than I have, forgetting that whilst they are furiously banging away on their keyboard whilst watching the game on TV, I am freezing my nuts off at the game.
Have an opinion about something that they haven't witnessed first hand, especially when they believe to be more informed than someone who was actually there.
Moan when things don't go our way when haven't suffered first hand, the indignity of watching City play a completive league game at Macclesfield, seen us lose to Lincoln, stood and watched in silence as Paul Lake struggled for his life.
Criticise Roberto Manchester when they haven't witnessed first hand a completive game under Frank Clark, Alan Ball, Phil Neal (to name but three)
Criticise Garry Cook when they haven't experienced life under Peter Swales.
Slag off players during the game like Jo yet haven't heard of Lee Bradbury or Carl Griffiths.
Make light of Munich without realising the true impact it had on Manchester
I could go on.
Bluemoon is good at what it does but I’m afraid to say we will never live in harmony whilst there is such disparity between the various groups of fans.
