Trophy Parade | Sunday 26th May, 19:30

[I'm Blue]

I'm stuck at London Euston waiting for my train home after a wembley weekend away (2019 final was Saturday yet the parade was Monday, so thought we were safe to give or 7 year old a mini break in London). Or the three of us would've been there. Never missed a parade. Don't judge everyone.

I’m not, it’s the can’t be arsed brigade that’s pissed me off.
Including my brother : )

Filling up nicely.
Great family occasion.

Fuck me now I wish I’d stayed home.
I’ve just witnessed a rag woman with her fat cellulite arse hanging out singing scum songs.
And when I say out, I think I’ve just given her a colonoscopy.
Fucking state of these odd rag cunts scattered about.
Not seen them for years and one sniff of a little trophy and suddenly they appear like rats.

Absolutely disgusting. Got any pics?

A mental one unfortunately.
Dirty sweaty rag ****.

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.

Give us a smile you c#nt.

You know the drill.

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.
