We have one of the most negative fan bases in football

Many football fans are fickle and you would probably be surprised that almost every club has fans that moan,moan,moan. They probably whine at work, at home, in the pub, on holiday.
I try not to associate with Rags. When I do have the misfortune I frequently hear them moan about Maureen. He has got away with a bit so far simply because Gollum and Giant Head were so bad.
I have vowed to stay off BMF many times for the reasons you have mentioned. There are some good contributions and thoughtful pieces but you are right,some folk seem never to be happy or content.
I have seen the 60's,70's,80's,90's and so on. Again, you are right, we have never had it so good.
These are times to relish,savour and enjoy. Self deprecating humour is one thing, miserable moaning is another.
The Future's Bright, The Future's Blue,Right Here,Right Now.

The amount of negativity from our fans about City at the moment is absolutely staggering, and during a time where we're literally living the greatest era in the club's history.

I can think of only Arsenal at the moment where the fans talk about their own club with such distain. I rarely ever see or hear United fans talk about their club with the venom and malice which has developed amongst a large section of our support. I've never heard a United fan say a bad word about Mourinho since he joined.

You think all those negative media articles and news stories have no impact but they do. They create a mood of negativity, something which festers in the back of the mind. It means you'll be set alight more easily at the slightest mishap or mistake.

The club isn't perfect and it never will be. They make mistakes and they will make mistakes in the future as well. I find a lot of the problems I have about City are the results of my problems with elements of modern football. We're not alone with a lot of our concerns about prices, corporates, fan engagement etc.

Unfortunately it seems that some of us have become professional Manchester City critics rather than Manchester City supporters.

People can't wait to have a moan about the slightest thing, and it's sad. I even saw people on this forum yesterday saying we've had a shit transfer window yesterday after we've spent £200 million+ on several top class players. Some plonker on Twitter saying we've ruined Denayer's career because we made him sign a contract and then loaned him out. The only reason he's not better than Van Dyke right now apparently.

Comments like this after the CL draw "Forgive me for not jumping with glee at not being in a group of death, but I'm still not convinced Pep knows his best XI from game to game" - After we've played 2 matches with 1 change where the number 1 left back is out injured. How on earth that could be your instant reaction or thought to a CL draw is well beyond my way of thinking.

The way some of us speak about the manager, players and people behind the scenes is frightening. It's almost hatred and resentful at times. Every mistake by manager, player or club isn't an excuse to go straight for the throat

The bottom line is that if you're not happy now then you will never ever be happy.

I wish I'd written that. Well said.
 
We are the most cynical fans in Europe, but we are the most loyal, it's our club with the best sense of humour known in football, we are hated by the click bait media they have tried everything to get us to implode, we didn't need their help in the eighties, I look at our fans who are the most knowledgeable in the country and yes we love a good self destructive moan it's therapeutic
 
Well said OP. Some of the moaners won't like but you've made some good points. Especially the part "Pep doesn't know his best 11", we'll no, because we have around 14/15 that would be in that best team depending on the opposition and circumstance. People saying that either don't understand or are repeating what they've heard or read.

Can't agree with everything you say, but living and working in Manchester takes its toll.

Not born eternal optimists mancs. Waking to another beautiful sunny day.No.

Rather waking to nagging wives, roadworks and a bastard boss. City is to vent those frustrations.

It is not the fans fault that some ridiciously rich people bought the club and made it into one of the best clubs in the world. Spoiling everything.
