Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Just discovered this gem of a thread on Bluemoon. :lol:

Any rags who try to tell you that they are not a one man team should look at the papers this morning.

Without him they would have won just five premier league games, they would only have half their 52pts and would be mid table, they would also be out of the FA Cup, in short they would be looking at a mediocre season yet again.

Is it any wonder the Govan piss can is acting like a demented old nutcase this season, he knows the game is nearly up and its driving him menta

Shit I hadn't looked at it like that. I'm glad we don't start games with 10 men now.

Oh dear, sounds like sour grapes to me. If only they had RvP, they could be where we are - top of the league and still in the CL :D

If my memory also serves me right, weren't they saying that they'd have Aguero and Tevez over RVP and Rooney 9 times out of 10, when we signed him?

How quickly their tune has changed.
 
Thank god for RvP who raised us from last season's mid-table mediocrity while City simply coasted to the league title without ever having to glance at the rear view mirror.
 
The first page is very sensible apart from the OP, then:

He has been fortunate not to miss a large chunk of games though via suspension. Should have gone at Anfield for a 2 footed, studs up tackle, as bad at the one the Pool player got sent off for but only got a yellow.
Then could have gone for the elbow he threw at Newcastle. 2nd red is a 4 match ban so that would have been 7 games missed.
Then lucky not to get sent off for his reaction at Swansea.

You use words like "fortunate" and "lucky" as if he escaped due to a refereeing mistake, there's a touching level of naivety in that viewpoint, there really is. Given RVP's stature as pretty much the only reason United are in the position they are do you honestly think he's going to get sent off and banned for several matches, really? Just like Rooney last season and the lack of bookings.

I hate comparisons like this. IF RVP didn't sign would UTD have played with 10 men all season? Would RVPS replacement have scored 0 goals and gotten 0 assists?

I would like to add that if we (spurs) had not signed Lloris this season then we would be bottom, as no one else would have saved any of the shots, or even backpasses to him tghis season and we would have lost every game 25-0.

Ha, I imagine that shut a few of them up.

Fair play to him though. The rest just sound like a bunch of bitter, stupid twats.

To be fair most of them said that we'd probably be allowed to play someone else, play Rooney further forward etc.
 
Just putting it out there, but how do you think Newcastle will get on without Ba now?

RvP is an exceptional striker, but that's his job, to score goals so they can't start crying "It's not fair, you have a striker who can score goals." They have Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko, Ballotelli who all score goals too.

Yet they still have to rely on Toure lumbering forward, like a tree in shorts, to score crucial goals for them.

That's the problem. Cissé has to step up for Newcastle whereas we could play Rooney who is obviously way more proven, and we have Hernandez and Welbeck as well. Hell we might have signed someone else if we hadn't signed van Persie.
And they themselves have a very strong selection of strikers.

The argument only really works (and even then it doesn't completely) if no one is there to step up in whoever's place. Liverpool would have a real problem during the first part of the season had Suarez been out for long, because Borini was injured (and unproven) and they hadn't signed Sturridge yet.

:D Love it.

And the Spurs fan obviously had the same thought as me (and doubtless many others). So logic and intelligence is only lacking in City fans then.
 
Funny how we finished level on points with them last year sans RVP. Their stupidity knows no bounds.
 
It's the worst argument around.

Be prepared for a lot of referee bashing "Howard Webb is a rag" chitter if we manage to go 10 points clear this weekend.

They are worse than the RAWK lot, everything we get is from dodgy decisions or this one man team shit.

This is actually right. Its the unjustified sense of entitlement they've acquired. At least Liverpool fans have some legitimate history to hark back to which underpins their bitterness towards us.
 
In fairness, we do say all the time how Liverpool would be fighting relegation without Suarez, and we also used to argue how Arsenal was being carried by RvP.

Whoever replaced him we very likely wouldn't be top of the league right now. But then, that's the whole point of signing World Class players, isn't it?

Which is both much closer to the truth than saying we'd be way off without RvP this season. We could play Rooney further forward and have both Welbeck and Hernandez as backups. As someone else already mentioned Liverpool had no backup for Suarez the first half of this season. Last season RvP's backups were Gervinho and Chamakh - both a whole lot worse than RvP than Welbeck/Hernandez.

Where do you think Arsenal would be this year without Giroud, Podolski and Carzola? They signed new players that took over from RvP (particularly Carzola has been brilliant), but I don't think it's unreasonable to say that they'd be much worse off in the league if they had the same squad as last season minus RvP.

I'm not saying it's a good argument (I don't really like it either), but there's some cases where it comes somewhat close to the truth.

True that RvP has given us a whole new edge up front, and he's the main man right now. But let's not forget we have a little Mexican by the name of Chicharito who has 12 goals himself at the moment, and who has rescued our asses quite a few times this season. He'll get 15-20 goals this season which would be great.

Liverpool haven't had anybody up front other than Suarez, and we're not sure how Sturridge will turn out for them. The less said about Arsenal's strikers the better.
 
is bluemoon actually a fair representation of the majority of local city fans?

The "We're in dreamland!" elated type.
The grounded, slightly disillusioned type, who miss being a "local" club, and the foaming, hate-filled, Munich-shouting feck-wits, that answer any difficult question with "6-1! 6-1!"

Does that include the deluded ones who think they are suddenly light-years ahead of us after finishing on the same points as us last season? They really grind my gears!
