In all sincerity, whoever you are BloodRed, being a rag and coming on a City forum and calling Sergio a c**t...I mean, what the fuck sort of response did you expect?

I knew Id get some abuse ..even the mod warned me..but again it's banter when you do it and it's a wind up when I do it? It's all in good spirit..but at least the abuse could come with real answers and interesting opinions.

Do you really think that if one of us went on so sad café and called shrek a ****, that he or she wouldn't immediately be banned.

And you reckon calling Sergio a **** is just banter?

This is Bluemoon, the principal forum of the club Agüero plays for, and we don't take kindly to one of our best players being referred to in such disgusting terms!

At least, I certainly don't.

I don't either.

If he wants to talk football he is welcome to attend the piss up on Saturday, I for one would love a few moments in his company.

He can't, he's in Aruba, remember.

I'm inclined to agree with you.

Very inclined.

In fact, I'm so inclined, I'm almost horizontal!

So like me you think that he is being very economical with the truth.

Well, put it this way. I think he's being so economical, that even Aldi would struggle to make a profit.

I only asked a question so that i can get an opinion from city fans...nothing wrong with that ..like I said and keep saying ..I came here to talk about football ..not Defend myself

Quite frankly, you are facing an uphill struggle to engage with City fans in the manner you desire.

To explain why, perhaps i should I give you a history lesson. Don't worry it's free.

For many years City and united fans co-existed in a state of relative harmony. My dad, a united fan, like so many others of his generation, used to go to old trafford one week and Maine Road the next. Even in the late sixties when both clubs were collecting trophies there was still an air of mutual respect.

What changed? Two things in all probability. One was a cultural shift in the way football support was carried out, but I expect City 'relegating' united in 1974 tipped a lot of reds over the edge.

From that point their attitude to a City discernibly changed and became palpably more nasty and small time.

When we were relegated against Luton at Maine Road in 1983, the numbers in the away end were swollen by several hundred united fans. Something I am certain blues wouldn't have reciprocated if the boot was on the other foot. Following that relegation City went into long term decline, but rather an arrest the vindictiveness of united fans towards our club, it seemed to heighten it. They started to mock and deride our club with increasing viciousness, accentuated no doubt, by the increasing number of non-Mancunians that were stating to attach themselves limpit-like to that club as its success continued.

And then there was that banner. A material embodiment of this prevailing contempt that was displayed above the players' tunnel at old trafford and worst of all, endorsed by the club - whenever there was a concert it was taken down and put back up afterwards. It served to signify a view held across all levels at that club - from owners through to management and supporters that we were an enduring source of mirth to them. It wasn't just the banner of course, it was also the way that we were frequently talked about by senior officials at the club - who, it should be remembered, conspicuously forgot the benevolence that our club extended to them before and after the Second World War.

And they thought it would carry on Iike that forever. An arrangement where they would always have someone to deride.

And then everything changed. Be it by luck, happenstance or serendipity, but the footballing world turned on its head.

When the kid who gets bullied at school gets a good job and the model girlfriend that goes with it, what do you expect him to do at the school reunion? Sit meekly in the corner - or to go up to those who teased him and say "fuck you"?

I know what I'd be doing.

Never forget.


Here endeth the lesson.

Obviously not but the part about glory hunters is not entirely true..I can't put myself amongst them.

And look glory hunters come with the territory..when your club is winning and is successful people want in on it ..I live in Aruba and had never seen a city shirt until maybe around 2012/2013 ..so you see how influential on field success can be.

Not a glory supporter but you chose to support your team when they were in the midst of their period of greatest success and the best team in England and one of the best in Europe.

Seems legit.

The timing was good I'll admit but it was cantona who led me to united.

why not Leeds?
