Mic09 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Was it bad? Sure. Would it happen at other stadiums? Most likely. Man City fans are no different to other supporters. Action needs to be taken to punish offenders, but "holier than thou" attitude is a bit off the mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Martin Tyler pretty much said live on TV that you could understand why the fans got a bit lively. Horrible bunch of Representatives for Wellingborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them stockpiling players is also indicative of the same problem. Oh I agree with that. Their squad is insane in terms of depth. But teams letting older players go to moake way for younger/better players is completely normal. I was just taking issue with the "scrapheap" comment. They haven't put him on the scrapheap (if it's even true). They've told him he can leave or isn't needed because they have other players they want to use instead. That's football Edited May 23, 2022 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Had a Man City fan (maybe a year ago) say something to me about the fact that Villa have spent most of their years in the lower leagues (league one, Championship etc) and that’s it’s good to see a club rise like we have Edited May 23, 2022 by Dodgyknees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 You have to accept that the majority of city fans are young (because of their recent success), foreign people who'll use twitter to give as much shit as possible (to somehow make themselves soldiers for the cause) or people who changed from being Utd fans because of the success. Very few supporters for the top teams are worth talking to, because their knowledge about football outside of the 4 blue walls is tiny. We're weirdo's using a forum for a middling PL club (proud history blah blah considering). Not everyone is like us. It's just best to smile and walk away, knowing you probably know more about their club than they do. My 7 year old keeps asking why he can't support Man City or Liverpool, because to a 7 year old, winning means more than being local. Who gives a shit what they think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) I do wonder sometimes what the actual old fans of City think of their new found fans and success. Will they feel that some ghost has possessed their once local club, or are they just high on the success that human rights abuse money have gotten for their once mid-table side? The league needs to start thinking seriously about a wage\transfer cap. That way you can't just spunk out 1 gazillion quid and win the league.

I honestly think i'd be bored supporting a team that won loads of stuff all the time. Maybe I'd change my mind if we were ever that good. But the though of being an entitled Man utd fan who have won loads for decades and now moan about finishing 6th depresses me. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to win SOMETHING. But I think sort of Atletico Madrid levels of success would be perfect.

Leicester - I don't think anyone minds them when they won the league and FA cup, fair play. I hope we get our day in the sun, and we're lucky compared to 80-odd+ teams in the league system having won a Coca-Cola cup as recently as 26 years ago.. It's depressing that no-one has a chance in reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
