We have one of the most negative fan bases in football

I don't get the point of this OP, this is a forum for fans to discuss the good and bad of all things Manchester City related. That will entail criticism when it's warranted.
The club have spent a huge amount of money in recent years and we've under achieved. The performance against Everton showed us a lot of the same weaknesses as the previous season and fans have right to point that out.
Having an unquestioning attitude to our failings is just puttting your head in the sand and worst of all, sensitivity to what United fans think about the good ship MCFC is just pathetic.
Anyway, I'm off to watch the managers press conference, being told he waxes lyrical about Rooney again, isn't that just marvellous.

You have to laugh. There's some sweaty little bloke living with his aged mother who cooks all his meals and does his ironing. He's bald but with long greasy hair at the back and sides (Mick Miller style) who assembles clothes line pegs for a living to buy his season ticket. He calls the 'phone-in' (his voice is squeakier than Alan Ball's) to berate his club's manager with 40 years experience in football including 20 years of man-management, tactics and formations that have brought success. But in his own mind, the sweaty little bloke is a football expert who believes it's simply a case of playing this player here and that player there. No sense of how a manager needs to assert himself at a club, command respect, and the direction he'll need to give to world class players.

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.

Good post, but you shouldn't let it bother you. It's the same usernames year on year. I've become immune to their static.

I was a little put out to say the least at the end of the game when I saw Pep and the FatScouseGit arm in arm on the big screen. I''m afraid I don't share Pep's enthusiasm! I'm very much so old school that schools hadn't been invented. He hasn't scored as many goals as The Creosote King and he can fuck right off, too, so a little cameo RugHead love-in doesn't go down too well with me. The canute got Vinny sent off by making a beeline for Atkinson's ear, don't forget. He was a FatScouseGit first, then a Rag shitehawk and now a FatScouseGit ex-Rag shitehawk. Could he have a better history?

1) If you think this is bad then you should have been around in the 80s and 90s

2) We have underperformed for the last 3 years

3) Who gives a shit what United fans think about anything?

Some fans certainly have - the point the op is making
 
Each to their own. My only concern is the amount of moaning at games might put off some of the next generation of potential Blues.
