Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Why do City fans come across as so much more bitter than Liverpool fans? I know they're our local rivals and we have a long history of rivalry with them but historically and even recently we have more of a competitive rivalry with Liverpool and until the late 90's we were always considered to be behind them in terms of being the biggest club in England. You'd just expect Liverpool fans to be more bitter considering we've recently overtook their Premier League league title count and even during our worse spell since the 80's, we are still better than them but they instead just come across as deluded.

City fans on the other hand hate us and are so bitter about our previous successes despite them being better than us now. It can't be because they know more United fans who boast about United because no United fans live in Manchester and all City fans do apparently. Not sure what it is but they come across as more vindictive and jealous about how big we are.

It's a delusion among local city fans that I think starts in school when the minority of city fans love to inform the United majority that in fact it is the other way around and that City are the real Manchester side. This delusion continues throughout their life, until they are so sure that they are better and bigger than United that such an obvious lie (told enough times) becomes the truth.

They can't bear the fact that they were bought out because United exist, not that City do. Had we not been their cross-town hyper neighbour, Everton would have Aguero up front right now.

It's not fabrication on that one.

Dortmund was nowhere on the BBC site. No match report, result not findable on results page, no highlights, no interviews. The only news piece about it appeared possibly 1/2 days after, but that was headlined about Mourinho, who happened to comment on it, and was far down the list of the days stories. Even the rolling news page the day after barely mentioned it.

Compare and contrast with the Galatasary coverage - match report, extra reports, video highlight, next day rolling news coverage. All prominent or top news on the site.

Blinkered maybe, correct, yes.

It is. They definitely did a live commentary of the Dortmund game and I'm fairly sure there was a piece on it afterwards too.

The only reasons they even had additional coverage of the Galatasaray game is because a high profile player was making their debut and scored.

How are they reacting to Bailley's latest "City called but I chose United because of Mourinho" comment?

Probably the usual claims that SSN made it up because they're anti city...even though the player himself said it.

Theyre a special bunch I mean who can say, with a straight face, that Pogba is not worth between 85 to 100mill but try and legitimately claim stones is worth half roughly? They'll be claiming sane is easily worth 35m or whatever next despite having never seen him play besides the euros
 
I'm sure the word over there was that the only reason Laporte signed a new contract was to force City to pay a release clause. He wanted to do the right thing by Bilbao & let them make as much money as possible. When's the presser Bitters ;)

Exactly. They hate us so much that they can't enjoy this period of success. It's pathetic and sad.

It's because as they were 'rising' to the top, they wanted us to decline at a similar rate. Yet even though we've been shite since Fergie left, we haven't completely gone away and that's what really rancours them the most. Now that we have Mourinho who has made some quality signings, their dominance is far from assured and they're more concerned about what we're going to do rather than focusing on their own sorry outfit. They couldn't even enjoy the appointment of Guardiola without us taking the gloss off it with Jose and Ibra. They really are a bitter bunch.
 
Some sad bluemoaner posted this...

"I know it's easier to spell than Ibrahimovic, but every time I see him referred to as 'Zlatan'(which is everywhere he is mentioned) by their fans makes me cringe.

They love than first name shit, they must think it makes them look like hardcore fans or something when it just makes them look like sad wankers."

followed by...

reply 1..."Kun agrees."

reply 2..."As does Dave"

reply 3..."As does Vinnie, Yaya and Joe"


ha ha, what an idiot!
 
mark my words ibra will make an impact in the prem. ok he's 35 and yes at 25 he wouldn't go anywhere near the rags but he still has it, he's a wonderful footballer. barring messi and ****face he would have had the ballon dor a few times to boot. shame he's come to the prem so late.

Can't imagine they'll be too happy with that. Would probably get a ban if he was a relatively new member.
 
Made me laugh watching those Pep taxi videos- one bloke talking about how the whole City is buzzing and another going on about how Manchester is blue- we could be starved of trophies for another 10 years and they would still be our little ginger step kid.
 
I presume they are all happy today seeing as they have just signed one of the most promising and exciting youngsters in world football? (Sane) I have to say i'm gutted Jose wasn't in for him and extremely jealous Citeh got him. I think Pep has made some pretty solid signings so far and I can see they are going to be one feck of a side if and when they eventually click. They are certainly going to be the favourites for the Premiership and could easily improve on their CL record with their current squad, and he hasn't finished buying yet. Have to wait to see who Jose ends up with at the end of the window, but so far I think City definitely have a better looking squad. Just my honest opinion.

I'd agree with all of this.

It always confuses me as I keep expecting them to start shagging.

I disagree in all of this and have covered it in a longer post in the City discussion thread. Their team is good, not the best.

It is a pathetic forum in terms of say, if a City fan today now says I am not convinced Gabriel Jesus is worth £25m yet - he will instantly be accused of supporting Utd and being jealous.

Then you have others who have never seen him play, claim him to be 2nd best signing of the summer, or something to that level of idiocy.

The fact they still insist Gundogan is signing of the summer, or Sane, is proof they constantly wear Blue tinted specs

The signing of the summer in a purely ability point of view and for the name is/will be Pogba.
The signing of the summer in a "that is exactly what they need" is Kante

Gundogan is good IF he stays fit, but lets be honest he is crocked, he's on the Wilshere path.
Sane, no one has seen enough of him, unless you're an avid Bundesliga watcher whcih i doubt any over there are.
 
Gotta be honest, I'd be pretty chuffed if we'd signed Gundogan. Yes, he's potentially another Wheelchair, but he is also potentially a best-in-the-league CM. And the price reflected the injury situation, dirt cheap in today's market. Can't blame them for being pleased with that one.

The rest is true though. Sané is a similar signing to Martial. No-one's really seen enough of him yet for it not to be a gamble at that price, and they've paid even more for him than we paid for Martial. Sure, our gamble worked out, but that doesn't necessarily means the odds are good.

Gundogan's a risk, but by their standards a cheap one, and very worth taking a shot with.

If my team needed to fill one position, that of a creative central midfielder, and my team went and bought a crock and went into the season with just him, I would be pissed off.
 
Besides Gundogan, if fit. And this is genuine, none of their summer signings make me sit up and take notice.

Sane could be decent, but a lot of money for unproven player right now.

Most of the players are for the future though. I don't think anyone is thinking we are going to blitz the league this year. Equally I don't think anyone has bought a world beater unless you sign Pogba and even then he's not quite at that level just yet. If Chelsea sign a CB I'd actually say they've done the best business in terms of improving their starting 11.

City was all about plugging holes in their starting XI and putting some young blood to rejuvenate the squad. I think they have done a good job. However, imo their biggest weakness is still midfield and I don't think Gundogan is enough. Especially as he's out till December.( not sure if that's the case)

If you include Pogba, I think we've done the most work the XI.
I don't think Bathsuyahi starts for Chelsea, while we would have improved 4 positions in the team. Including Pogba, all our signings go straight into the XI.
Doesn't mean we have the best team. Still reckon City will have the best team at the end of the window due to heir considerable attacking power.

That's true actually, your 4 signings will all be first teamers. You have probably improved the most looking at it like that.
