I've never been bitter. The only times I've not enjoyed being a City fan is that bleak 6months at the end of the 2006-07 season under Pearce, we were so average it was sapping the passion out of me, and that day at Stoke when we got relegated in 1998 (fuck me was I gutted that day, by far the worst day of being a Blue!). Other than that I've enjoyed the whole lot. I enjoyed the third division; Wembley in '99 was unbelievable; I really enjoyed some of our promotion seasons back to the top league (1988-89 and 2001-02 especially); I loved the cult feel of the club in the 90's where it seemed like the whole world revolved around that big pile of shit on the edge of Trafford Park and we were the ugly sisters next door that nobody gave a shit about; I loved the Oasis 'roll with it' and "fuck off" to the rest of football vibe around the club; I laughed at being last on MOTD every week; I could stay out on the piss with all the other Blues after any derby defeat or relegation, I have never and will never hide my face just because things haven't gone our way (while all the Rags have always disappeared when things don't go their way); I could take them winning trophies, try as they may to rub it in my face, they could never get to me...
Being a City fan has always (almost always) been great!
Right now I'm loving it. I love the fact everyone hates us, it keeps that cult feel to being a Blue. I'll never blame anyone else for our shortfalls, there's always some sort of blame at our own feet whether it be 5% or 95%. I have never and will never be bitter!
