Why are we hated so much?

[Bill Walker]

Got fantastic owners.

Got honest fantastic owners.

The club and the whole FSG is run like clockwork and run by successful businessmen.

And they are from the middle east and therein lies the problem.

Don't care what people say the whole hatred and backlash is racially motivated, 200%.

Agreed.

A lot of the money City have spent on players from UK clubs like Grealish, Stones, Ake etc has trickled down to lower league clubs, which helps in terms of keeping them solvent. Also City's owners have completely revitalised an area of Manchester that was an industrial wasteland. Surely big money coming into the game is a good thing, unless of course FFP is more about keeping the legacy clubs on top.
And why shouldn't oil rich arabs own things, their money is not illegally gained. They don't interfere with the running of the club. They have a product everyone needs....Ohh hang on, they're not the right colour.

It always makes me laugh when thick twats call the likes of City a "filthy oil club" most of the imbeceles don't consider the fact that the used Audi or BMW (which they will adorn with some lame brain personalised number plates) they're saving their pennies for will only run if there is filthy oil and petrol to put in it.

Speaking as a Boro fan, I would say we certainly don't hate City. I've always had a lot of time for City fans going back to the early 90s when we played you in both cup competitions in the same season, probably around '92. Sold out both away ends, there was hell on like but that was just the way it was in those days.

I never hated Chelsea when Roman Ambramovich bought them. I welcomed more competition like I did when Newcastle were taken over.

The rags I hate out of duty and I’ve just never liked Liverpool ever. Success means nothing to me. It’s just gut instinct.

Certain clubs seem to attract idiot fans too.

 

[PistonBlue]

Because we're successful, when we weren't supposed to be.

We were harmless, everyone's second club. Huge crowds, huge away support. Cool connections. How they marvelled at our stoicism, our gallows humour, our occasional moments of unparalleled joy...

As long as we were never a threat to the red shirt cabal.

However, as God willed it, we smashed them, humiliated them, brought them to their knees.

They and their media shills can't comprehend it, it simply does not compute. They pine for the 80's, the 90's, the 00's and the way things used to be. The way things should be, the way things have always been.

They cry themselves to sleep in their Bob Paisley/Baconface/Wenger jimjams...

And they wake up bitter and twisted.

"Clear and organised."

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

They only started hating when Pep started breaking the league. It was all ok in the previous 7 years up to that. We were not a threat to the top table.

I was out shopping in Warrington and had a City jacket on. Received a few scowls and a spectacular “so how long have you supported City for?” from the man in the kiosk. I’m 43.

It never happened when we couldn’t buy a goal at home under Pearce.

We are the Private who has been made up to Colonel.

Not even the other Privates like it, while the Officers' Mess is spitting feathers.

Spot on.
