Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
Leeds in 92/93 were terrible. Didn't win away all season.
It's getting plain boring how the top money clubs just throw dung at the wall hoping expecting some of it sticks. Chelsea's transfer business, to be fair, seems to have been more definitively targeted in the last year. And they are going to win the league.
Not the easy to defend titles. Arsenal under Wenger never managed to do it. Chelsea only did it once under Jose.
Yeh not everyone can be like United.
You need three good strikers to compete in the CL, league and cups. Jovetic isn't good enough so they needed another.
He's got a good goal scoring record and won't twist if he's on the bench every other week. You need players like that in a squad.
As it is I think he'll keep Dzeko out when he gets his chance. Could have a much bigger impact that people think especially as he can lead the line when Aguero is injured.
Looks like Rodgers.
We beat them at Old Trafford and Liverpool away and we're dead on for 2nd place, mark my words! Chelsea is our only other hard game but they've the title wrapped up, they won't need to play their hearts out against us and apart from a extreme struck of luck our last game, Arsenal are still Arsenal.
So you're saying we're going to win all four of those matches? Good luck with that!
Liverpool and Arsenal are the crucial games because they're six-pointers. Win those, and avoid slip-ups against the likes of Villa and Hull, and we'll probably have the breathing room to survive losses to Chelsea (almost inevitable) and City (don't bet against it.)
Not win them all, Chelsea will set up to defend and we'll most likely draw, I can see us beating City and Arsenal but Liverpool is always impossible to call, especially in their current form.
Apparently...
"Manchester City – 1937 Division One champions fail in spectacular fashion one year later
The 1936/37 season was a landmark campaign for Manchester City, as the club won their first top flight title. The brilliantly named Wilf Wild was in charge as City went on a 22-match unbeaten run to claim the title, as local rivals Man United were consigned to relegation. A year later however, it was a different story, as City suffered a shock relegation, despite being the division's highest scorers. It was an embarrassing turn of events for Wild and the club, and remains to this day the only time the reigning English champions have been relegated the following season."

They're probably not going to drop off that badly this season.
I'm shocked that someone has referenced an incident from nearly 100 years ago and considers it relevant.
Maybe he doesn't consider it relevant, just mildly amusing?
That story gets more incredible every time I hear it. How the feck do you finish as the league's top scorers yet get relegated? 
It's mad, scored 80, conceded 77, with 14 wins and 8 draws. This is the kind of thing that lead to the upping from 2 to 3 points for a win.That story gets more incredible every time I hear it. How the feck do you finish as the league's top scorers yet get relegated?
EDIT: The other relegated team, West Brom, scored 74 and conceded 91.
They hate how much we are talked about when we have a great performance like yesterday. Everyone was talking about Rooney, his celebration, the performance etc. Social media explodes when we have a good day. When City win no one cares really except their own fans.
Having said that it does work both ways in that when we have played shite we are talked about just as much.
You can tell it gets to them so much because they will never be as famous as United.

Well in this whole page, every post (including both of ours) doesn't include posts from Bluemoon so you're as off topic as he is. These threads aren't for relevance. They're half a joke and half football talk. The RAWK meltdown thread must be the single most off topic thread I've seen on the Internet. Every page involves 2 or 3 posters going off on a tangent.
There's a painful lack of bluemoon posts, where's the entertainment lads?!
Not lot to choose from to be fair, they've all gone back to The Shed End.

that should keep you going.
Sorry that was for Mitcher
Them dropping out of the CL would be glorious and to be fair it could have crippling side effects with no CL money and having already spent £30m on Bony they'd be pretty much screwed for signings because of FFP and their aging squad.
Does anyone read their shite talk over there about us? I just went into a thread about United just to see what they had to say about the upcoming game but most of them are too busy talking about their sheer hatred for United like a vicious sort of way. I think its hilarious how much they hate us even when being in a better position than us for most of this year, they really are obsessed to the point I worry about them mentally.
I sometimes do. I find it funny, their hatred of United seems to affect some of them personally
I remember when I was on a train with Ricky Hatton and him and his mates were referring us as 'rags' and the hatred sounded incredibly real. Funny bunch City fans.

Speaking of washed-up celebrities, I was watching MOTD not so long ago and Noel Gallagher was on it (god knows why) and when they were talking about Liverpools form (not mentioning us or City nor were they even due to play us the week after) he said ''we need to to keep United out of the top 4''. It was completely off topic
. Again he mentioned something later on offtopic, we're clearly on his mind more often than not.They really can't get their head around us being above them, and us possibly beating them next week. Strange activity from a fanbase that were used to seeing their team fail miserably and linger around relegation 7 odd years ago. I hope we thump them next Sunday.

Ya I was kinda confused by reading those comments, the way some of their members posted was as if we never finished above them or if we haven't won something in 20 years.. very odd.

that time I saw Hatton, City had just won the League Cup (or FA Cup) and him and his mates were slagging off the 'rags'. Maybe it's just a common them of City fans to always have United on their minds.It's epidemic on every french comments section people are convinced that we are having a bad season and we can't beat anyone. Peoples hate the club so much, that they convinced themselves that United is now a midtable club.
Minor point, but strange they only 10 posts per page. Maybe it's a way of making threads look longer and more busy. Annoying that you have to click around more, fecking page impression chasing whores.
I'm amused by the gratuitous use of "rags" by City fans, on Bluemoon or otherwise. I also hear a lot of them referring to Old Trafford as "the swamp". I remember seeing a tv documentary, called Blue Moon Rising, or some shit, and it was pretty much about City fans, and how much they hate United, with the underlying topic of City's recent takeover/successes, but the hatred seemed to take the spotlight. Some bitter was talking about how he works near Old Trafford, and he said he has to drive the long way round every day just so he doesn't have to look at it. It made me believe that most City fans are just utterly deranged.

I think the worst thing about the whole site is the auto playing video on every thread. I tend to open several threads that interest me in any forum and then read them.
Yeah, it does your tree in. I am yet to see any forum online that is as easy to use and looks as good as this one. Big credit to @Niall
I've said it before, but the biggest difference between RAWK and Bluemoon is that your average RAWKer is a bit dim, a bit envious but essentially harmless. You could probably still have a reasonable conversation with them about football in the pub.
However, a Bluemooner is innately mean spirited, insanely bitter, incredibly violent and generally a bit of a cnut. They are incapable of referring to us without using the word 'rag' and all of their threads about us include hoping Fergie dies soon or beating up a rag. If they say anything remotely anti-city (as reasonable as it might be) they are outed as a rag.

Being on Bluemoon after they lose a match is hilarious, they are just calling each other "rags", its hilarious in its ridiculousness.

Still selling out big arenas with a double platinum album in the last five years. If thats your definition of washed up you must consider your own life a total feck up
