That just about sums up football social media.

TBH it was expected, so we shouldn’t be surprised.

The actor goldbridge gets way too much attention on this site, he is an utter nobody playing out a role, he is actually rather sad. As for some dipper from over here going on about parades, LOL well maybe then can tell us how to have them when they actually win something worthwhile, daft twats.

This is why I don't engage in social media. There's rarely any objective take on an event when it comes to football. Grown men pushing an anti city narrative for what gain? You can understand it when people try to push a political agenda but going online once you've grown a pube to try and show that you support a team that has a better fanbase than City is embarrassingly immature: imagine showing your missus a screenshot of your twitter post saying 'NO fans im crying (laughter faces)' before sex. You'd need the tears from a thousand of those emojis to get her even slightly wet after emasculating yourself like that.

A bloke at work said I bet not many turn up to your parade. I said, ok [Alan Partridge style shrug]. No other feelings to have on that. Not sure why I need to be concerned with any of that?

But again, the issue is it's not objective. Because regardless of how many turned up or how great an atmosphere it was or if even any of that matters no one wants to sit and have a discussion about what happens before an event, a game, a final and so on. For example, some went last year, before that, before that, first one and so on - Same with the final - couldn't afford trains this time as I'm seriously skint but I was ok with that as I thought ah well I've been before. A lot will have been in similar positions.

But if I was in the position of Utd or Arsenal where I'd not won the league for so long that there's grown adults old enough to work and pay train fares who've never seen a league win in their life I'd be lending money to get to that parade. So there's already a slight difference in cause and affect of numbers.

Passion would be affected by winning the league for the first time in your life, or half of it, or for so long. Beating City by 1 point on the last day and so on. Wondering the chances of ever winning again.

Losing an FA CUp final to your rivals puts a slight damper on the potential for atmosphere even if the rain doesn't.

There's lots of factors to consider before even starting to look at parade numbers, atmosphere, pure and unadulterated unbridled passion etc.

But then even with that - if there is, or isn't a million people all running the inner streets of Manchester naked and painted blue with flares up their arses 3 days into an inner city takeover THIS DOES NOT MATTER TO THEM. They would rather scour for a clip of a half empty street, or find a section of entertainment which looks shite - or in the face of anything that is against the narrative they're pushing they'll experience cognitive distortion as they put their hands over their eyes an ears saying nope nope no fans no atmosphere. Then they'l' carry on posting OMFG I'M DYING NO FANS LMFAO - Grown men.

So I don't engage because it's not debate or discussion it's pushing an agenda, trying to wind people up, a coping mechanism for their pain or creating a false sense of feeling where if all of this was a war they're winning - cups don't matter at this point if you can create a new game where you make up the rules.

I use social media for what it is.
Comedy value.

Excellent post thanks. It doesn’t matter how many people turn up- the parade belongs to us, to lifelong blues, to blues new to us but its OURs. Just like 3k against Mansfield was ours and the 4peat is hours. The rest of them can fuck off.
The fans who understand what a fan base should be and what belongs to who are welcome but the rest can do one and it’s almost exclusively red shirts and assorted twats
 
Not a commentary on the event itself, the turnout or anything like that, I just feel that the concept of the street parade itself doesn't work anymore.

I'd much prefer the club to hold the parade event inside the stadium in future. They can plan it better, don't have to worry about much policing, the noise when the players and the trophies are presented, then they can do a final lap of honour around the stadium to be closer to the fans.

Yes, yes, I know, i'm going, i'm going...
