The phrase "typical City" was around long before oil wealth. Negativity is ingraved in our club. Its just part of life. We are so desparate for true sucess, it doesnt mean we cant remember the very bad times. Actually my favourite memories of being a City fan are from the late ninties when we were at our worst.
Honestly I think its a pressure thing, as a fan i feel scrutinised by everything the media and other fans say about the club I love. I honestly do love city like a family member, but just like a family member I get pissed off at City and with City but love them all the same.
Look at the songs we sing as well. We never win at home and we never win away.. and the invisible man. Both a tongue in cheek look at the fortunes of Manchester City football club. CTID no matter what league no matter what result CTID.
It's true, it's in our DNA and it's what makes us unique as fans.
We've always moaned. Back in the days when we were bobbins and the best part of the day (away day) was the sing song in the pub - the match got in the way!!
Now the club is totally different from the one we used to know (I'm 47, been supporting City since 76 when I discovered football) so we just have different things to moan about
We could win the quadruple, go undefeated through the entire season and we'd still moan.........don't worry about it OP!!
