Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
The fact that we've been shite has allowed Pellegrini a bit of relief. City have almost been as bad as us
Exactly. We didn't capitalise on their feck up this weekend because we had another of our own. Had we won we'd have been on the same points as City and only 1 point behind Chelsea. Wouldn't have been all doom and gloom like it appears now. Fine margins.
This. Aren't we like one win apart from worst start since 89 and best start since Busby?
Yeah it's silly really.
Our results are the only thing stopping City getting any negative attention. They've lost to Cardiff and Villa.
They've had some very good performances sprinkled in amongst the bad results, and they're above us in the table by a few points. I'd be a lot more optimistic in City's situation than I am in ours to be honest.
Really they have spent around £100m this summer and we are 3 points behind them plus we have played them away Liverpool away and Chelsea home! A lot more optimistic is stretching it IMO!
Aside from the game against us they were only good against a hapless and 10 man Newcastle. Lost to Cardiff and Villa and were lucky not to lose against both Hull and Stoke
and finally...
Bunch of game raising players. Play against United, and lose against the likes of Villa and Cardiff, and get done in by Bayern. Meh!
But if they were game raisers then why did they get done in the biggest game? Confused logic!
Their biggest game will always be against United. That's what they live and breathe for.
Disagree they don't come much bigger than at home in Europe against the current European Champions!
Doesn't makes much of a difference. They have been in Europe for 2 seasons have been soundly beaten by Bayern twice. The last time they got beaten by their reserve squad.
Do we have any City fans on the CAF anymore?
No we get a lot of whiny spoiled little bitches who obviously dont remember football pre 1993
They lost because Bayern outplayed them, City at their best would still have lost last night.
You really think the players think like that? They are nearly all foreign. For many last nights game would have been huge.
I can remember only one City fan in my time here. Think he started banging on about how the CL seeding system should changed because City are too massive to be in a difficult group. Got banned in the end I think.
The pirate?
There was a bloke dave at one point. I think he went a bit mad in the end.
City's youth team battered Munich 5-1 yesterday and I was interested in hearing about a young Irish lad called Jack Byrne who they signed from St. Kevin's (same club as we got Robbie Brady from).
Heard and read some seriously impressive stuff about him of late.

Possibly. He was in the newbies anyway.
"newtonheathdave" I think?
edit: Unless I'm confusing the 2.
6-0 in the end I think. I read a match report and it described Byrne as 'impressive again at the heart of things'.
There was another bloke who said a player was utter gonk and just wouldn't back down even though he was so clearly wrong.
Yeah tbh, didn't see too many City fans on the mains here.
A successful season for United has always been to win a trophy, a successful season for City fans is just to finish above United.
Do they even need to finish above us? I thought they just had to win one game against us for it to be a success. I remember reading City fans on Bluemoon last season saying "We (City) won the battle, but United won the war" and other guff along those lines, after they beat us at Old Trafford, but we won the title. I don't even understand how that's possibly true. Surely the "battle" was a draw, as we beat them at the Etihad in the same season? If you want to get technical about it, we won on away goals
That lad wasn't bad outside of wanting the entire CL system changed to suit that bunch of tossers.
The derby will always be City's biggest game.
How? None of them has tasted real European success with City. They hardly know what the knockout stages of the CL looks like - A loss against Bayern would hardly make any difference to either of them tbh.Who do you think Millwall be fired up for? A match against West Ham, or a match against say, a continental European team?
Their League and football revolves around Manchester United. That's about it.
It might do for certain supporters but I doubt their players give a toss about the derby. I'm not singling out City players, it's the same at every club.
Brilliant post, was about to post similar using Liverpool as an example as either of these teams would rather beat us in the league than beat Bayern in the group stages. Even Leeds. Millwall was a much better example, given how they'll never know the European CL, they love to be in it but still prefer the hammers!!!
Also look at Kompany, Nasri and even Agero's faces, they love beating us and know all about it, foreign or not. They'll let the new players know for sure. Look at Kompany in that game, it was like he was born in England and Manchester the way he threw himself about!
There was Kippax Kid on here a fair while ago, I haven't seen her on here since when Richards burst on to the scene.
Baw, isn't that beautiful.
They've been shit away - this won't change it.
That was my response. "Obvious tactic to get more people to away games."
I hope they're not paying for anyone who doesn't have a season ticket.
