Us the fans

[blumoonrisen]

The club is ready to win the title, but I don't think the fans are. (myself included, its so hard to not think we're going to fuck it all up because thats what we're used to, bar last season)

If things don't start well against Liverpool on Tuesday then you just know the panic will set in, and if we haven't scored by 65/70 minutes then the whole experience for the fans will get incredibly frustrating and that will have a negative influence on the players. I've seen it happen before, albeit when we had a shit team and manager.

I've not known that to happen for a while so I don't see why it suddenly should on Tues.. well, not at the match anyway..

Should tell the fucker to read the last 36 hours from Rag Cafe.
That`ll shut the fucker up.

Don't disagree but I am bemused how we are still moaning whilst having the best year in our modern history.

100% agree. It is only natural that there will be criticism along the way of certain aspects but some fans are ridiculous. There is an expectation that we will win every game we play in now, which is only natural it could be argued given our league position. But this place goes into meltdown every time we don't win. Today, we were below par but we could still have easily walked away with 3 points if you consider how many chances we had, and we end up losing to a well offside goal. We were unlucky to lose. We just have to get behind the team on Tuesday, help them pick themselves up and smash the dippers.

We'll finish in the top two,that's all i said at the start of the season,it's all I'm saying now.Not going despondent about our recent mini blip,just being realistic.

Great, was planning on writing a blog for Blue Moon tomorrow about this very subject. Nice one OP haha

Today following our defeat I had a very interesting conversation with a United fan, first of all it was the usual wind up shit of your going to lose again, watch united go and you haven't got the balls for the top of the table.

Then he said something that took me by surprise.

''City won’t win the league not because of the players or the manager but because of the fans''

The reason he said what he said was because he and other reds who he talks with believe that the people who follow city love nothing more than nurturing misery, in fact we enjoy nothing more than moaning about players, the way we had played and basically we revel in it and that the players will pick up this if our home form dips.

We then chewed the fat and argued our points of view, after that I just dispelled it as nothing more than the fear factor hitting home but then I started to think about it.

Now I sit in block 304 and there are several folk around me that love nothing more than to moan about Dzeko and Yaya in fact they wait for their first mistake and they are on their soap boxes shouting the odds.

Today blue moon is in meltdown some fans have said players are wank, are not fit to wear the shirt and the manager keeps making mistakes yet we are top of the league so why are we really moaning. (19 games 45 points and 53 goals)

I have just watched MOD2 and how we did not win is still a mystery but as someone said earlier it is pantomime season.

So are we really fans who just like to moan who love nothing more than a half empty glass, who don’t really want success or are we going to get behind the team.

If Dzeko was at any other club in the premiership he would be banging the goals in and the transfer forum would be alight with we should buy him, now this isn’t about Dzeko it’s about us as fans. We manage to single out players and berate them to a point where we kill them off (edgehill) went from England prospect to nervous wreck.

Let’s not wreck our season let’s get behind them, slag players off when they are gone, not wearing the shirt. They maybe reading Bluemoon

Great post

Some fans don't understand how important we are as fans

Is that directed at the red or me or do I not understand how important you are LOL

No just in general, like I say the some fans are the negative moaners at the ground instead of moaning fans should sing come on city

We always had moaners at the ground,and always will have,and contrary to popular belief,that's not just a city thing,that's just human nature.You will never make everyone happy,no matter how well we are doing.Some people just like whinging lol.

This is true. The thing is, during the Pearce days for example they had justification but nowadays with the best squad in living memory, top of the league and having won the first trophy for 35 years there is very little justification. Sometimes it verges on the embarrassing.

There's definitely a breed of fan who loved the 'I'm hardcore cos I support a shit team, me' kudos that used to come with being a blue.

Then there's the plebs who just like the spectacle of the game but don't really understand it aside from the basics (goals, throw ins, corners etc).

Also, I think a lot of people think that that's what you do when watching football, you piss and moan as it'll make you look cool and angry like a proper fan.

That's it we have not seen any success for 35 yrs until now, having the best time of our lives yet some are still moaning or waiting to moan at the smallest opportunity.
