Snared "two" of the snivelling creatures in one post. Not bad Marv if I do say so myself

Ah, so you didn't go to any of the games then after all?

'cos if you did you would know you're talking bollocks.

We can give you numerous examples of us moaning through that season... apart from Wembley (and half the crowd departed when 2-0 down, if you remember!) can you tell me examples of our outstanding loyalty when we didn't moan?

Or will you sidestep the facts like you do every other time you are brought to task?

Get back in your time machine when it was all Love and Peace. It's not how I remember it.

I went to pretty much every game too. He clearly wasn't there.

Obviously after we started winning in the new year things went more positive, as they always do if we're winning.

Even at Wembley, at 2-1 down, thee was a fight in front of me. Cooke ballsed a cross up in the last minute and some bloke stared screaming "Cooke you munich bastard" and all this. Another bloke turned round and started on him and loads got involved.

It was a known fact back in the 70s that if you kept City out for 20 minutes, the crowd would turn on them.

Marvin, you are living in fantasy land.

City have got fantastic fans. Some of the most loyal fans in football, anywhere. That cannot be denied. But if anyone thinks we moan a lot now, then they know very little of our history or the nature of our fans.

We have always moaned. We won the league in '68 and we moaned. We dominated football for 3 years and we moaned. We signed Rodney Marsh and we moaned. We sold Rodney Marsh and we had a protest campaign. We moaned when Malcolm left us, we moaned when he came back. We moaned at just about every manager we've ever had. I defy anyone to mention a single manager we've had since Joe Mercer who hasn't been moaned about.

That's just the way it is. People on this forum really need to get real about moaning.

Oh, and every other club in the country is just the same. No different to us. We're not special.

Geordies, the most fanatically loyal bunch of fans anywhere... moan like fuck.

The Rags have dominated football for 15 years... their fans still moan, as do Liverpool's Arsenal, Spurs... ad nauseum,.

The only thing that's changed is the internet. Now we have direct instant access and can moan that much quicker. And we love it!

As Sid James once said... Carry on Moaning!

Absolutely 100% correct, Soulboy. Top class post.

That's why I get my knickers in a twist about what I call "Tubthumpers". People who've just found the internet and think that City's fans have changed.

The internet makes people less accountable, it removes social taboos so the moaning is louder. Also, forums magnify it because this so-called "moaning" gets more attention than "praising".

Nothing's changed.

The only thing that City fans do have which is perhaps slightly different to others is paranoia.

"Oh fuck, we're bound to lose this lead".

It manifests itself in nerves around the ground at important moments.

Actually, that's a myth, Marvin, a myth borne out of the increasing use of the internet and it's anonimity.

"THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS A GROWING TIDE OF NEGATIVITY AROUND THIS CLUB. IT IS CREEPING INTO EVERY AREA - THE MEDIA, THE BOARD, SUPPORTERS AND EVEN PLAYERS. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT CITY FANS HAVE SUFFERED MORE THAN MOST IN RECENT YEARS, BUT IT IS JUST TOO EASY TO SLAG OFF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING.

I'M AFRAID THAT OUR SUPPORTERS ARE BEGINNING TO WALLOW IN CITY'S MISFORTUNE. THEY ARE GETTING INTO A PERMANENTLY PESSIMISTIC STATE OF MIND. BUT THERE IS SIMPLY NO EXCUSE FOR SINGLING OUT INDIVIDUALS FOR ABUSE WHEN THEY ARE ALL TRYING THEIR BEST FOR THE CLUB...IT IS EASY TO SAY THAT ALL SUPPORTERS SHOULD CRITICISE THEIR TEAM, BUT WHY SHOULD THEY? MARK MY WORDS, IF THE DOOM MERCHANTS BECOME THE MAJORITY AT CITY THEN WE ARE FINISHED."

Willie Donnachie, our Assistant Manager, right in the middle of that season.

Spot on DD.

I too am perplexed at all these nostalgia freaks hankering after the good old days when City fans got behind the team, and never moaned.

People like Marvin frequently spout such nonsense. Were you there? Did you ever go to the away games? I was there in 1999 and we moaned like fuck almost all the way through it.

At York there was almost a pitch invasion as fans attempted to get at players Royle Out chants could be heard all the way down Bootham Crescent after the game.

City fans have always moaned. And they always will moan. The Main Stand was famous for being host to the Maine Road Moaners... and that was during 1968 when we won the Championship!

Moaning is an integral part of the English game... So why shouldn'yt we moan...AS WILL EVERY OTHER CLUBS' FANS IN THE COUNTRY. NOW. IN THE PAST. IN THE FUTURE.

It's been a part of football since football began. Only geeks who call it soccer think otherwise.

And Marvin, if you hate all the negativity... what the fuck are you doing coming on Bluemoon!

Even our relationship was borne out of moaning was it not?

However my moaning is now limited to having to buy you a 'frothy latte' in a public house...it just isn't right!!!

However drink and recreational drugs seem to take the edge off moaning and just makes you shrug your shoulders all the time....allegedly!

Plus, when we moaned before it was just among our own social circle or the pink postbag. You would see various people at the match and knew them to say 'hello' to etc but, personally speaking, the only people you really conversed with were you're mates. How many times have you eavesdropped a conversation with fellow blues, and when hearing their opinion think ' you're talking out of your jacksy mate?' Well the t'internet is a bigger version of the eavesdropper!

And that's not a moan it's an observation.

 

[allan harper]

I'm in the " I go to every game so my opinion is worth more than those who don't go to as many games but as most games get shown in full on tv how can my opinion be worth also I have piss poor eye sight so only ever get to see city attack properly each game factio.

This is split between I'm shite at spelling and all things to do with the alphabet faction.

Relationship? Oo-er missus, you'll have people talking!!!

But I remember it well... Grimsby away, you having a pop at me for my well-founded and researched views... you finally admitting I was right.

Nothing changes eh?!!!

And even the frothy lattes might have to take a back seat soon... and I go back to the Soda Waters! I may be unavoidably detained over the next few weeks, so hope to meet up with you again when all is sorted. Capeesh?

Marvin is one of the founder members of the Stepford faction and not to be taken too seriously, his 'opinions' are lifted straight from the MCFC PR manual. Remember Marvin was a big Sven fan until about an hour after Mad Frank sacked him, from that point on 'Sven was shit anyway'.
