awful awful forum, is blue moon.
Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
There having a go at you over on Bluemoon now @BobbyManc
If anyone on Bluemoon is still reading this, your gifs are shit.
Just read that then
some people can be so sensitive. I call the guy a bit of a muppet and apparently I'm being sycophantic. No, it's just if you post a shitty youtube video and some cryptic statement alleging to have inside information at the club, the natural conclusion I'm going to make is you're a bit of a needy twat.That forum is comedy gold! Do they realise how thick and angry they seem?
It's okay Bobby, they're just annoyed that you talk sense.Just read that then
It's a surreal place, that Bluemoon. Even threads that have nothing to do with United seem to descend into "fecking rag cnuts" "Old Toilet" "The Swamp" remarks. I was having a quick browse yesterday at their general football chatter. In one thread, some goober was talking about how much he disliked Billy Bremner as a player, but had to keep using "the rags" as a barometer for his dislike, just to make it clear that's how much he disliked Billy Bremner, and as a reminder to everyone he doesn't like United either, incase anyone did start to believe that his dislike for United was starting to subside.
It trumps RAWK a thousand times over in terms of unfathomable bitterness, and also complete illiteracy. It reads like they are just hitting their keyboards with their own face whilst repeatedly slobbering "RAGS!" in a dribbling rage.
Waste of bandwidth.

Oh Bluemoon, please make your page containing 20 posts at least. very annoying whenever I bother to look at that forum to constantly having to click turn the page
It's how I imagine Redcafe if it didn't have any mods or a newbie filtering system, except a lot worse. I don't think I've ever seen an intelligent poster on that site.
Bunch of cnuts!
Rag!!1!
@BobbyManc do you use that forum? I saw another BobbyManc there
I've always said that it is a worse place than RAWK. At least with RAWK it is just delusion. When it comes to Bluemoon, it is full of irrational hate and every other word amongst the average posts seems to be "rag" or "swamp". The hate they have for United is absolutely unreal on there, probably 90% of the forum is just dedicated to hating on United
I think they want to hate United more than support their own team.
Their more obsessed with United than any other team is about their rival.
Possibly the most unrequited rivalry in English football. I'd predict most United fans don't give much of a stuff about City. They're probably just mad that they're not as significant to us as Liverpool are. Even Leeds United are probably hated more by United fans, and Leeds have been a complete non-entity for over a decade now.
I find this comment generally comes from United fans who haven't spent a great deal of time in Manchester (you may or may not have), there is definitely a lot of football hatred in the local areas which aren't always seen unless witnessed first hand. That said, most blues are generally just chuffed to be where we and still have to pinch ourselves that we've taken 2 titles in the past 4 years - to even be chasing the same players as Barcelona is just ridiculous for us - shifting mentality is hard.
As for Bluemoon, I find it's mixed depending what you're looking for - you have the threads that get very high post count that take up the majority of day to day posts/chatter and drift off topic a lot and tend not to add much value for quick updates, and then some really good debates around FFP, ongoings in the club and the surrounding areas which can be a joy to read. Same as any forum really.
But Red Cafes better, isn't it?
Used to post on there. Still have my account but don't bother with it anymore, but no, that wasn't my username.
Having lived in Manchester, it is very clear the hatred is pretty much one sided though. I use to do a lot of work with the City and borough Councils, GMP and other non-commercial organizations in Greater Manchester. Even on topics affecting the whole of Greater Manchester there was an imbalance from many Councillors and senior police officers about OT and its neighborhood. When talking about football matches in general, safety and timings if there had not been impartial attendees United would have been well shafted. Most of the Trafford Councillors were openly City fans and looked to give City some advantage over United in GM discussions.
De Bruyne won't be leaving. Allofs said he's not going anywhere and he's as straight as they come.
Am i right in thinking there are members that spend their time on other forums just to find a post they can take back and ridicule? That, to me sounds as petty as what we accuse them of, no?
I have more posts over there as it goes, since around 2008 - but I've racked up 800+ since 2013 here so I'm not doing bad. Granted the majority of them were in the FFP thread over a year ago now. I just really enjoy discussing football, and there's only so much time you can spend in one place.
Funnily enough I initially joined to correct a Chelsea fan on some misguided comments he was making about City and FFP, only then did I realise new joiners are cast in to a trial run pit far out of site - it's hard to reason with people down there so you spend a bit of time arguing and those who argue well seem to make it up here.
The format of that forum is genuinely terrible.
It's like the mocking is behind their backs, the whole world including Bluemoon can see it in daylight and of course they can countermock, don't think it's petty at all
Bony's serious face
He looks like Crazy Eyes off Orange is the New Black
I grew up and lived in Manchester until high school, when I moved to West Yorkshire with my parents, but most of my family are Manchester based and Manchester born, so I was there a lot after that. I've always thought the hatred was a little one sided. Especially growing up there in the early 90s, the hatred from United fans seemed to be focused on Liverpool and Leeds United, even at my school, where reds and blues seemed to be a 60/40 split in Uniteds favour. When I moved to Yorkshire and went to a school where Leeds United fans were the majority, there was definitely a shift in hatred. To me it seemed like Leeds fans hated us more than City fans did at that time, and that was probably reciprocated. Leeds were closer to being a threat on the pitch as well.
Now I live 300+ miles north, so I don't know what the tension is like between the two sets of supporters, and I don't know if it has shifted since City's takeover and recent successes. I'd still predict United fans have more animosity towards Liverpool though. A lot of fans here wanted City to win the title, when it looked like Liverpool had all but sealed it. I can't see that situation ever being reversed.
That is so naff. Really low quality stuff.
Yeah, the hatred is one sided.
Generally, yeah. I've lived in Manchester for 8 years and although I've come to dislike them a lot more since they have become genuine rivals, I was pretty pleased that they beat Liverpool to the title the season before last.
Just had a quick look on their site to see what the fuss was about, and by god they are some horrible, horrible cretins on that site.
Was it against Utd live on TV where they lost and decided to take it out on a couple of East Asian fans who were repeatedly caught by the cameras sitting in the front row somewhere near the half line without the uniform City scowl of year on year bitterness? I think they secretly miss those years and they don't know where to put themselves half the time and in part it explains their terrible terrible home game turnout rate.
Yep, that'll always be the case for me. To be honest I don't feel much of anything about City in their current incarnation. They've got nothing whatsoever to do with the Blues that I remember most of my extended family supporting back when I was very young in Manchester, the team who I grew up thinking of as 'the enemy'. They're just a bunch of foreign stars who rocked up all of a sudden back in 2010 and 2011, employed by a handful of disinterested Emirates zillionaires. It probably makes a difference that there are basically no City fans around where I live any more, but in my mind this big hollow 'project' just has so little to do with our historic rivals.
So yeah, I would always rather see City winning trophies than Liverpool, and I would always choose to beat Liverpool and lose to City rather than vice versa.
Just had a look at their 'Classic Vids/Games' thread.
heh.
heh.
They are all pissed with Txiki cause they aren't signing anyone
At least they can sign other major players now they have saved 8mil
What news has Tommy taboo updated recently?
At least they can sign other major players now they have saved 8mil
It's perfect! They had that £62m all ready to go and get Pogba, but they just couldn't think where to find the last 8m...
I love that they think anyone cared enough about the prospect of them signing Delph to take the piss now. Don't worry lads, you're safe on that front.
Imagine.....
On the day we sign Schweinstiger, then get turned down by Delph
Thats quite beautiful.
