Why do you weep.

Can't be arsed reading the thread but I presume it's another " we was once shit so be grateful" type of bollocks thread we have to suffer on here. I don't care where we have come from this season has been a fucking shambles.

You'd presume wrong then.

In short the op is saying 'grow a pair' and stop acting like spoilt cunts.

Haha so I am right aren't I? Don't complain because we was once shit. Doesn't wash with me sadly. Watching a team who earn an absolute fortune, being told before the game how they play for us, a manager with no clue or direction, 4th in a league below Leicester and Spurs, pissing West Ham and the worst United team of my lifetime right on our heels. It's not being spoilt it's drastically underperforming all things considered.
 
There is nothing wrong with wanting the best for the team we love. Doesn't mean your not a real fan. The day I walk away from a derby loss feeling contended is the day I will question my support

No you're wrong.

No one is saying we can't complain or expect better but the levels of vitriol are fucking ridiculous.

It's about being able to handle disappointment, which it seems many cannot.

Nothing whatsoever to do with us once being shit.

It is the op is indeed a top top blue, the biggest and bestest blue of all time, I stopped reading after the win every game point which was beyond laughable but it regularly gets an airing from the window lickers.

Huge blue though, massive,the main man,head honcho etc...
 
Do not stand at our ground and cry
We are not there, we did not die.
Pep will come, all will be well,
But until then, it will be hell.
Dave and Yaya looking fearful,
Why the fuck are the rest so cheerful.
Pellers tactics gives me the shits,
That's why Martin is the pits.
He needs to use a defensive shield,
Fernando's the man who will not yield
Why wait for Rahims groin to strain,
Play him from the start you aged pain.
 
There is no nobility in being fine with mediocrity and failure. its just reverse snobbery

Who's fine with mediocrity and failure? It's not about that, it's about being able to take it on the chin and not acting like a spoilt ****.

I'm as pissed off as the next Blue about how things are panning out, as I'm sure the op is but it's about how you handle yourself in adversity, there's many on this board that remind me of this

It's being spoilt
 
I bet when the transfer bill and salaries hit the Sheikh's desk he's not expecting much either.

If we don't win the league or anything else, that's one thing, but this directionless, inept, spineless capitulation is another.

Nothing to do with "being spoilt" it's where and what we are supposed to be now - not where we've come from.

lets be honest we were a load of moaning twats when we were shit, the myth about how we all banded together and joked our way through the 80's -00's is bollocks we went in numbers to support the team but we gave the team plenty of shite all the time. The difference is, if we were subjected to the abject performances of the last 8 months then we were much more accepting of it as we knew the team was at that level.

I like winning stuff but if we never won a pot again it wouldn't stop my love of city, all I ask is for us to be entertaining and give it our best and recently we haven't even managed that
 
All this spineless capitulation and careless players rings hollow to me. We're playing very poorly, but I don't think it's lack of effort. The team has become dysfunctional. Players like Aguero were trying too hard. Becoming winger, midfielder and centre-forward.

We need to change a couple of faces. maybe the answer is on the playing staff, or maybe we have to go into the transfer market but I think it's only one or two positions where we have a problem.

Pellegrini has taken a lot of stick and I have been very critical but he's going. I think the best thing we can do is turn up and support the team and hope for the best. Sounds pathetic but that is our lot.

I agree some of the players are trying Marvin but not sure about the manager anymore.
As for support, of course - it might fit well with those who portray anyone who moans on here as a lesser supporter, but I assure you that once they cross that line we're fully behind them.
 
In my opinion, I would blame only Bony and Yaya for the level of "effort" they put in. Silva's effort has also gone down but he is forced to play through pain so he gets a pass mark from me. I wouldn't blame Sterling, Navas, Fernando, Clichy, Kolarov for lack of effort. They are just not that great in whatever roles they do. The bulk of the criticism is on the manager not doing his job properly. He has so much experience and yet looks clueless on what tactics/squad he needs to implement.

I can't agree that its only Yaya and Bony not putting the effort in. Usually when discussing "effort" we think of how the team works without the ball. We have not done that well enough over the past eighteen months but in my opinion we are seeing laziness offensively as well. You would rarely see any unselfish runs to draw a defender away from their position to create space. All they seem interesting in doing is casually getting the ball into our attacking third and probe around areas in front of their box hoping something might happen. There is rarely any willingness to counter effectively and most of our attacks end up with Navas half getting past his opponent and putting a shit cross in. We are so predictable and that is down to laziness in my opinion, not just because of low confidence or bad tactics or whatever.

I agree Pellegrini is tactically inept and I'm certainly not about to defend him because his management particularly this year is not acceptable. I don't agree he should get the bulk of the criticism though. Too many of our current players exude arrogance on the pitch. I don't want to include everyone, I appreciate Kompany Hart etc. do give their all but the body language from some of the others on the pitch at times is a disgrace. Its like each one of them is hoping someone else is going to lift the performance. Tactics and management have played a big part in our poor performances this year but no one can convince me that there are not serious mentality issues in our current squad of players

Thank you for your continuing support Mr Hilts,always appreciated;
Its so refreshing to see an up and coming fan with an eye to detail and your praise has been duly noted.
Feel free to add and follow me disciple Hilts and I will indeed make you a fisher of men.
No miracles mind !

Did you really stop reading after the win every game bit or did you predictively go on to absorb all six pages and some of Rics adverts ; )
I feel your energy I feel your pain but why my friend do you weep ?

Hand on heart I did stop reading, many a good intended post has been lost due the posters inability to talk in anything other than inane cliches, if yours had any good intentions I obviously don't know, I stopped reading it.

All the best to you king blue
