The myth that we get all the decisions and that the FA want us to win the league or are afraid of SAF can so be so frustrating to listen to but I'm absolutely willing to put up with it when we're lifting trophies at the end of the season.
Then the retards can believe what they want while we're off celebrating
They have made the full transition to RAWKness
I love posts like this. THANKS FOR THIS.
I've probably told this story before, but I got into City in 1996 when I got into Oasis. I had actually grown up a Nottingham Forest fan because Trevor Francis (Brummie git) was traded to a team in my city Detroit, from Forest in 1977 and I grew up loving Trevor after he started scoring goals like crazy for our club in the States.
Anyway, I got into Oasis after "Definitely Maybe" came out and I decided that I was going to be a Manchester Untied fan, since Noel, Liam, Guigs and Boney were from Manchester. I mentioned this to my mate, Patrick Sullivan. Sully is a first generation American, as both of his parents were born and raised in Liverpool and he LOVES English football. I told him I was going to start following Man United and he looked at me very seriously and shook his head.
"If you are going to follow Oasis, Tim, you will NEVER be a Man Utd fan. The guys in Oasis HATE United. They are Manchester City fans".
Then he told me all about City, and how City were the team that REAL Manchester fans supported. He told me how City fans were seen more as "salt of the earth, pints in the pub, best mates forever" kind of fans who really lived and died with their side. City fans sang their lungs out at matches and threw their support behind their side regardless of the score, their place in the league table or anything else. City fans had lived through hard times with their club, Sully said. Being a guy born and raised in a shithole like Detroit where everyone I knew and loved was as working class as I was, the things Pat said to me that day about Manchester City made me think that City was the better team for me.
Then, being a Bin Dipper, Sully told me all about how United were the scum of the earth and how much he hated them and how arrogant they were and how their fans were GLORY HUNTERS and often not even from Manchester, but just along for the ride on the gravy train.
Seventeen years later, everything that Sully told me that day has been brought into sharp focus for me as a City fan. He was right about United - and about City. I could never have been a United fan. I could never wear that shit kit and sing those shit songs and look down on everyone else the way they do. Here in America, easily 6 to 8 out of every 10 footie fans you meet are United fans, and they are the most ARROGANT, POMPOUS, WHINY fans you can imagine.
On the other hand, when I read posts like the one I quoted above and read you guys post about all the SHIT you have all put up with over the years, it makes me even more proud that I made a conscious decision NOT to follow United and chose City instead. Win or lose, good times or bad, I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Blues and support a real club with real fans. That sense of humor mancboy123 mentioned is, for me, one of the cornerstones of being a City fan. You gotta have a sense of humor when you have lived through the shit that City fans have. I hope we never lose that grounding as fans of this club. I hope we never become like THEM.
Anyway, BaconFace has until Thursday to respond to the FA. In light of the fact that this is his SECOND major outburst directed at FA officials after a match this season, I'd like to see a fine and a touchline ban for the old fat pissed-up ****. Lord do I hate that man. He's almost as disgusting as the fans who hang on his every whiskey-soaked slur of words.
I have just spent the last 30 minutes laughing at the Fergie thread..

the bitterness is hilarious. It is funny that they sense a shift in momentum after the Spurs result and now we are 9 points ahead.
Thats just brilliant. I might frame that
Did I really read the city fan from detroit saying one of the issues with united fans is they are not all from manchester?
If there is one common denominator with all the berties I ever lived and worked around in my time in Manchester, a sense of humour wasnt it. Being bitter about the entire world was.
What's up with the baconface in relation to Fergie up there?
Thats just brilliant. I might frame that
In all my years of following United, I've never seen Sir Alex drunk...and yet all we read is 'whiskynose' etc etc; is this a special kind of anti-Scottish racism? If SAF was Jewish, would they complain that he's mean about money? Bloody fools.

I can guarantee that any US City fans (unless they have moved to the US from England) only became a fan in the last 2 or 3 seasons. Now if they are young say under 16 and did not have a favorite before that, well ok. But other than that you can bet they swtiched allegiances from some other club. The only guy I ever ran into where I live, wearing a City shirt, was a convert after they won the FA Cup. His friends outed him as a former Arsenal fan.
You'd have to wonder what he was before Arsenal

The first rule of negotiation is to let the other party think they are still getting the better end of any deal.
UEFA and the Premier League are soon to fall for the biggest sucker punch in football history.
And when those plans are released, and the reality sets in, all we will hear is piss and wind, piss and wind.
In three years our turnover will be closer to Real Madrid than United.
Its been unanimously voted for apparently according to the radio
so what is the conclusion??/ how many teams vote for if and how many against???
So, football has been fixed for the foreseeable future, thanks to the efforts of United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs and their merry band of numpties.
Only them us and Chelsea will benefit from this.
Sad day for other football romantics from other teams dreaming of one day winning the league.
Well done - Gill and all.
So if I won the lottery next week would the government feel the need to limit my spending to protect my next door neighbour ?

You seriously doubt it will happen?
Our commercial revenue is already up with them, despite prostituting themselves to over 30 companies over the last 12 months.
United are maxed-out, we are within striking distance of turnover, already. That's despite United winning silverware for 20 years and us only getting investment four years ago.
Regardless of what they win, and they certainly haven't won more trophies than us in the last two years, you need to factor in what you cannot yet see.
A campus and series of developments that are akin to printing money hand-over-fist.
Soon, everyone will see and it will seriously blow minds, as well as any concerns over FFPR.
I'm always bemused by people envisaging our owners are sat on their hands, waiting to be put back in their corner.
Nobody puts City in the corner.
Bertie mentality.How does he possible rationale that?
