Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Yes, as I posted when this first surfaced, this is the reason I can genuinly believe that this story is true.

The usual stories contain clear heroics, "thick rags" clearly in the wrong, and a one-liner clever enough to send all Rags back to London.

This story only contains melodrama and a socially awkward City fan with anger issues. Yes the obligatory agreeing bystander is there, but I think the rest of it is true.

You can almost feel the awkwardness the store clerk felt through HIS words. The way he tells it it is so clearly him being a twat that there is almost no way he could have made it up in my mind. This must be an encounter that surely happened where he completely made a fool of himself publically, and have convinced himself for years afterwards that he was in the right until he reached the point where he unironically posts it on the internet.

From what I remember even BlueMoon made fun of him for that post

Someone posted a story here ages ago that someone stopped going to a bakery because the owner made fun of his son's city shirt or something like that

Anyone know what I'm on about?

Yeah, it's back there somewhere if you are willing to go back far enough.

Damn. Imagine being too ridiculous and embarrassing for Bluemoon. That’s quite the achievement.

amongst all the levels of weird here, whats that thing he does at about 18 seconds. its like a glitch. absolute classic middle class fool acting like a tough guy from the safety of distance and stewards.

I'm curious who he's even looking at. A Madrid player? A steward? It can't be a Madrid fan because he's looking at the pitch.

I've been thinking the same thing. My conclusion is that it's a Madrid player warming up on the sideline?

Im sure he's at an angle to the Madrid fans. They were behind the goal de Bruyne scored in, to the side and i imagine he's near the corner of the long side of pitch. The freak

It's all weird but that part is baffling. I've no idea what he thinks he's up to.

For feck sake, what nonsense. Like that RAWK post where the guy said he rushed to his son's school the morning he heard Klopp is leaving. Prowled the halls of the school until he found his son and then promptly dropped to his knees crying when he saw his boy. Of course, they hugged out their grief right there in front of the teach and other children. As you do.

wtf :lol:
 
Haha. That’s class.
To be fair. Outside of the city and the English media bubble, nobody takes them seriously as a club

the fact the media rarely mentions the charges just shows how scared they are. Just hope the FA has some balls about them come judgement day
 
Look at this atmosphere for our match compared to yesterday. Coventry have a better fan base than city. Newcastle fans in the carabao cup final last year. Proper teams have proper fans
 
Controversial opinion : Coventry are a bigger club than City, who even with a small army of new fans from overseas, couldn't sell an fa cup semi final share

Doesn't take a whole lot of logical thinking to come to the conclusion that if you're club sees less of these occasions it is more of an event for the fanbase of the club.

Okay mate. We completely outdid the United fans at Wembley in 2011 in our first semi-final in ages when United had been winning stuff for fun for years, and only last year the Madrid players were commenting how intimidating the atmosphere at the Etihad were in a Champions League semi-final were the Madrid fans brought a pathetically low amount of away-fans. These thing varies a lot more than people ever can be bothered to evaluate properly, but get your victories where you can get them I guess

Today was our 4th game at Wembley in 2 seasons. We still sold out our allocation. And we will again in May.

People are pointing out the obvious, that you're not a proper big club. It's a façade, propped up by an oil state.

:lol:

The guy I quoted used Coventry and Newcastle as examples. City fans have nothing to prove in that regard, the numbers were there in the barren years and the numbers were there when we started winning again.

Compared to the juggernaut United have been we are well behind on numbers domestically and globally. It is no suprise at all that you can fill allocations at Wembley every single year and we might not. At the same time, it is natural that it could well be the other way around in 20 years if the current trajectory of the two teams continue.

Not like any one that actually cares about their team should care whether an allecation is filled or not though. On the final day of the 99/2000 season half of Ewood Park were filled by travelling City fans thirsting to see a two promotions on the bounce after a decade of shite. If most of those fans have got their fill of finals this decade I'd be happy with that. If in 20 years we are proper big club in the metrics provided by the likes of you because the success on the pitch and commercial assault provided by the club has generated a bigger fanbase of match-going fans with bigger waiting-lists for every single semi-final, final or random game we might be lucky enough to participate in, I certainly could care less about it. Good for the revenue of the club I suppose, but not fellow fans I'd ever relate to.

I think loads of United fans from way back could say the same

You didn't start winning "again"

You started "winning" post takeover.

You've had over a decade of success, and the numbers still aint there. And the club knows it, which is why they are desperately trying to market City in China, in the hope that groups of tourists will come over and take up the empty seats. They are clearly visible on TV, in their half and half scarves, taking photos of Marcus Rashford. Top City fans.

Loads of City fans said that there were Madrid fans all over the stadium, last week. Not just the odd seat, but blocks of 50 people.

It is one of the easiest grounds to get tickets, even for the biggest games.

On blue moon, people are always moaning about not being able to get to mid-week games, or not being able to afford 2 games a week. If I can't get to a United match, I have about 15 people who would snap my hands off for both seats. And, if I didn't go to a match, and left the seats empty, I would get an email from the club asking me why I didn't give the tickets back so they could be re-sold and I would get the refund.

We did start win "again" yeah because we had a trophy haul more than healthy enough leading up to 1976, unless that doesn't count for whatever reason.

We have had a decade of success when the biggest clubs in the country and worldwide had already been well established. You don't create massive new groups of match-going fans out of thin air. Unless something drastic happens you will absolutely see the result of the success in the coming years. And as I said, I don't care and I don't really welcome it because I have no idea why you would welcome your club generating more issues of getting tickets and more matchday tourism just to seem more like a big club but when people drag in the likes of Coventry having their biggest day in years and making it sound like a good comparision it just baffles me.

The fact that we haven't had an unnatural growth of match-going fans is a good thing, but it is going to happen at some point. I'm obvilusly not going to convince you of this because you don't want it to happen, but it will. No one is saying Manchester City have ever been one of the biggest clubs around, but it has always been a lot bigger than loads of opposition fans give them credit for, rightly or wrongly. No idea if there were Madrid fans among City fans last wednesday, but if it were maybe they should have gone to the semi-final last year aswell then, when they as I said had one of the smallest amount of fans in the away-end I have ever seen at the Etihad. Not that I thought that made them a small club of course, they've had their fair share of European semi-finals over the years :)

Yes I think people might not realize that City had a good team late 60s into the 70s and even relegated there neighbors once upon a time on the last day of the season if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure of the growth will ever be there. You have pep, bought all the best players you could, and won the trebble, but no one cares. I've never seen so much apathy for one club.
 
Well you remember wrongly Utd. Were relegated irrespective of the City result ,because of results elsewhere
