Trophy Parade | Sunday 26th May, 19:30

And this is it in a nutshell.

My thought last week was that it was symptomatic of the arrogance that has swept over both the club and supporters, and there was generally an assumption that we would win yesterday.

I read a post before about people being "self-entitled" for not turning up. However, I only did last year's parade because it was really special. Hanging around for an hour to get a few seconds glimpse of players is something that those that don't go to games are more inclined to do than those who have seen all the celebrations in the stadium. Quite frankly, I've got better things to do. It's for kids and their families.

What those organising need to do, though, is think ahead. You didn't need to be a rocket scientist to work out that the mood would be dark if we lost to a pretty average Manchester United side in the Final. In reality, the celebratory mood for the title win has lost momentum, and in the couple of days after losing to United in a Final, that's the overriding emotion.

If we'd left this a few days, the mood would have lifted again, but as it happens, to hold a parade the day after losing a Cup Final to United is going to require a lot of false emotion. Are the players supposed to party on the bus a day after blowing the double against the Rags? Are we as supporters supposed to forget the hurt of yesterday in an instant and have a right good knees-up?

You can add to all of that that many have just had along journey home today and simply don't want to decamp to Manchester city centre on a Bank Holiday Sunday night when many will have other plans already in place.

The turnout for this parade is going to be shambolically low and it will create some dreadful PR. It will play perfectly into the hands of our enemies, who will use pictures of it for years to try and embarrass us with.

We gambled upon winning yesterday when organising this and now we have to go with it despite not doing. It's a spectacular own goal, and it'll be all over social media within the hour.

This is why they're hated. Our recent success and their decline has blindsided a lot of Blues as to just what vile, cretinous, thick stupid scum they actually are. This is a good reminder. Never forgive, never forget. Always scum.

Hate Scousers but those cunts over the victims every time.

Seen loads of the twats knocking about today which just fuels my hatred. Was supposed to be going tonight but son let me down. But late for the grandkids who we normally take.

What a fucking embarrassing attempt at a wind up. Get to fuck. 4 in a row, you sad ****.
 
Could the meeting administrator put me and t't wife down under 'Apologies for Absence'?

We left our daughter's gaff by Beaconsfield at lunchtime, having been at the game yesterday. We've only just got back after 7 hours trying to get home, negotiating delay upon delay on the M40/42, at the M5/M6 junction, finally the M6 between Stafford and Sandbach. Plus it was torrential rain more or less all the way up North. I know we're wimps but we're absolutely cream-crackered!

I look forward to receiving the minutes of what I hope will be a positive, fruitful meeting for everyone!

Roll on 24/25 season.. come on you Blues!

I’m sorry but a pub full of blues is not gonna make a difference.

Whoever signed off holding this parade wants strung up by the balls.

I like many are not even home from Wembley yet. Majority of rest cant be arsed after yesterday - as I’m sure the players aren’t.

So predictable by everybody except the clowns in charge of organising it.

I have it on good authority that they’ll only accept cash or nudes via pm : )
