Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Nice, sensible assessment

We really do need to put this shafted by officials stuff behind us. Much to much has been made of it and I'm sick of hearing it as an excuse. We are were we are today because we have fallen short of our own accord in a variety of areas and we all know what they are.
They're having none of that!

I suggest you start watching football with your eyes open in future if you think the rags haven't got away with murder with the officials.
 
I always find it remarkable how they genuinely believe the entire footballing world is against them. If Spain v Germany was the World Cup final and Sane got sent off, theyd accuse the ref of hating Man City. They're literally that ridiculous.
a bertie was interviewed outside Etihad after a poor result this season, and he said well its clearly because the ref was from Altrincham. This was a grown man being dead serious
 
the matches ain't even on terrestrial TV now for FFS

He's talking about how the Europa League is irrelevant because it's not shown on terrestrial TV unlike the Premier League and Champions League.
 
Any agenda threads over there regarding the help they've had against Boro and Leicester over the last couple weeks.

I think the grown men who post there are too busy going into their Man Utd forum and just typing "scum" to care for anything related to to own team at the minute
 
Just seen this on the fun site...

My rag friend sent me a text message last week.

"Its not over yet."

Well, guess what. It's over.

They spent more than Bob Dylan makes in royalties to get to the top and they failed miserably. Of course the press are going to deflect from their failures as much as possible. It's easy to feel sorry for a loser that everybody wants to win. But United are still losers.

I don't get it? What have Shitty won this season??
 
Their United thread is still very active and the MEN article has made things worse.
That forum will go mental if we win on Wednesday.
 
Why is their expenditure this season completely blanked from media and mind? It's baffling. Almost like they've not spent a dime.
 
So who's royalties did they spend? Am I correct in saying their summer window is the biggest transfer outlay of all-time in England?
They not only spent the most this season, last season they tied Chelsea's record and they didn't sell a single player from the first team squad this season.

Bizzare really. City have spent £1,214,830,000 in the PL era. When you consider that they didn't really start spending until 07/08 that is a mind-blowing amount of money they have spunked in 10 years. Since they have never really produced any talent, they have a net spend of around £850,000,000 - and the money they have made up will mainly be from selling on flops

United have spent £1,011,950,000 in the entire PL era. £529,460,000 is net spend.

In terms of a return for that money;

City have won 4 major trophies at a cost of £212,500,000 each - that is 2 x PL, 1 x FA Cup, 1 x EFL
United have won 24 major trophies at a cost of £4,216,458 13 x PL, 4 x EFL, 5 x FA Cup, 2 x UEFA CL

So would welcome a City fan explaining to me how our comparatively measly outlay (of our own money) over the 10yr post-Sheikh period has been mis-spent, whilst their oil money has been expertly managed

Edit: BTW, I would also welcome one of these daft anti-Mourinho types we have on here telling me why our outlay of £147m this summer should have guaranteed us the Quadruple

@M18CTID is your man for that, he will prove that every penny has been well spent and our money has been wasted but put such a twist on it that it sounds like, to himself at least, all completely reasonable.

As oppos go, he's decent, tbf, delusional with the best of them, but not such a bad fella.
 
Quoting myself from the thread about the bombing, as discussion belongs here:

Completely unimportant, in the grand scheme of things but I wonder how many City fans will be going against all their natural inclinations and rooting for a United win tonight, to bring some joy to the city? I know I'd be hoping City won if they were in the final instead of us. Stuff like this makes derby vitriol seem strange. The supporters of the two teams have so more much in common with each other than any other club in the league.

Just been over to the bluemoon site and couldn't find a single post that wanted anything other than "Ajax to smash the rags". Am I weird to find that really fecking depressing? Is it because a lot of their members aren't from Manchester? Or has football really become so tribal and petty that even a tragedy like this can't bring football fans together that live in the same city?

How is that a surprise? This thread is indicative of the type of poster that frequents BM. Thankfully, it's not indicative of the wider City fanbase as the blues I know have all been as affected by this as any normal person would.

Bluemoon really is a cesspit of despair, there's nothing redeeming about the site at all. Even Rawk has some qualities that make it worth a look (albeit mainly to laugh at the trite poetry/heavy handed mods) - Bluemoon just has a bunch of cnuts rolling their faces on their keyboards.

You probably haven't seen their site often. The entire forum is a competition about who hates United more.

I've never looked at it before tbf. Other than via this thread. So it's not a reflection of Manchester City fans who actually live in Manchester? Good to hear.

Most City fans I know are alright and a good laugh. They do still have some of the quirks of Blue Moon stuff like how they think the refs are against them but plenty of football fans think that. I've never met a City fan who is like the characters on Blue Moon. I suppose some of it is the anonymity of posting on the internet.

My older brother, a City fan, is supporting Ajax and I see no problem with that. It's football and just because City and United share the same City doesn't mean he or anyone should feel the need to support us due to unrelated tragedies. Though, if the tragedy had been something like Munich, I'm sure it'd be different.

As others have said, I've only had good encounters with City fans and them choosing to root for Ajax doesn't change anything. It doesn't mean they're not united as a city in face of this recent tragedy.

I totally agree Pogue that it's depressing. I was just reading a good article by Martin Samuel and he mentions how, for the good it would do for Manchester and the country after Monday, every fan would want United to win tonight. I'm the same as you, if it was City in the final I'd be rooting for them. Times like this show how rivalries pale in the face of families losing a child, parent, brother, sister etc. I don't think it's a reflection of City's fan base though and I can imagine many of them were affected and will want a source of joy for Manchester to rally around. It's a shame that forum is fuelled by such vitriol though.

There were some nice comments on the United Facebook page yesterday from a City fan and some other non-United fans.

Interesting. I'm probably being a bit mawkish, imaging everyone all rallying round together to win the trophy for Manchester. I do think I'd want City to win in this scenario but it might be different if I lived in Manchester. In a way it would also go against the "business as usual" reaction which is the best response to terrorism.

Couldn't care less mate and neither should you. Some things should be just left alone, the scum bag element on there will only serve to desecrate the memories of the families that are going through hell.
