Topic: General Manchester City thread

[MJD-L4]

They're 2nd in the league, less than 24 hours after a 6-1 away win, and all they're doing is arguing with each other over there  All questioning each others loyalty for daring to have an opinion that doesn't fit the agenda.

It really is an incredible place. As soon as someone tries to mention that we've actually been good this season or that City just need to accept they can't win it every year, they get rounded on and attacked by all the 'top blues'.

If you say anything other than the crazy theories about us or slamming the refs/VAR its going to get you absolutely hammered on there. No other team is allowed to be successful in their eyes. After all, they've torn up the rule book and got blood on their hands to get where they are, they sold their souls to the devil and now the devil isn't delivering. They were supposed to create a dynasty, nobody was meant to come near them & it's not fair.

You City shites that are reading this carry on calling us dipVARpool, murderers, victims etc & we'll just carry on winning every week.

Enjoy giving us a guard of honour at the Emptyhad you plastic c*nts

Know a few old time City fans,good lads,think most of the blue moonies are ex Chelsea fans.

On the other hand, my best mate's family are blues from Rochdale and almost all of them have turned into lunatics over the past couple of years. Can't have a conversation with them anymore.

[I've been a good boy]

I only know two City fans. One’s a bit of a gobshite but other two are absolutely sound, couldn’t even tell they’re City fans. Reckon a lot of the Blueloonies are, as mentioned, Chelsea fans or just kids who have only recently got into football. I’m going to absolutely love it when their empire crumbles soon.

[Kashinoda]

Whilst their 6-1 game was on their most active thread was 'Man City in the Media', they were all moaning about the LFC love-in.

Souness is having some side-effects from all the Iron Bru he drank in the 80's

It takes a special type of stupid to be this stupid.

Summarising.

The player has everything.
Except decision making.
If he improved his decision making and got his act together, he will be a top top player.
Guardiola prefers a center mid in central defence instead of him.
But this guy got everything.

Even had City callers into 5 Live after their game... moaning about US!!! WTF

That is proper, teddy-bear-short-of-a-picnic mental. Some can't even enjoy it when they win!

We've done a number on them, and they run away from the truth: blame liVARPool and bought refs all you like, but we're just plain better.

Better coach, better players, and a team ethos - buy all the mercenaries you want, City, but a talented mercenary is still a mercenary. We got SOUL

So they were complaining that everyone ignores Manchester City and only talks about us...whilst ignoring their own game and talking about us?

That’s special.

[Crosby Nick]

I'm perplexed.

I've just started reading their VAR thread from the beginning, it was started last April after the llorente insident in the CL and quite a few comments are saying how if they''d had VAR the previous season they would have won the CL.

Didn't we knock them out quite early on, and easily, that season?  And what decision went against them to think that we shouldn't have won?

As an aside, most of them seem quite sane and rational with the comments, there's very little rabid snarling or bitter hatred.

I think Mo was fractionally offside in the build up to our first or second at Anfield. The way we were playing though, we’d have just scored another one in that half I reckon.

The comments on their match report in the Guardian are an absolute shit show. Apparently goal difference proves they're a better team - after losing five and drawing two - than the one that's 14 points clear of them with a game in hand, after winning 20 and drawing one.

[royhendo]

Just listening to the 606 podcast....they are mental as fuck!  Robbie great at winding!

It's incredible how far it's gone into their heads isn't it? It was refreshing to hear a young City kid phone in and just talk about the football (Jake, aged 8 or whatever he was - it was his birthday). His dad sounded sane too, which was nice.

Literally the first guy almost burst out crying. Ordinarily you just see it as nutters but it seems to have become some kind of groupthink.

We lose because other people cheat us. Keep it right up lads! That's the way we'd like you to think really!

I've seen the goal difference pop up a few times since last night, it's almost as if they collectively shift from one excuse to the next. Someone should tell them beating Watford 8-0 doesn't mean much when you can't beat Norwich.

[MJD-L4]

Hopefully they're so focused on us and how they're being 'cheated' out of everything that they continue thinking their team is perfect and they fail to address the glaring weaknesses in their squad.

Their defence is shite. Laporte coming back will help, but they've still not replaced Kompany and the fullbacks aren't great. They'll be needing to replace both Fernandinho & David Silva which isn't going to be easy. Jesus is a good striker but nowhere near Aguero's level who hasn't got long left either.

That's essentially the entire spine of the team that's going to need replacing within the next 12 - 24 months. They HAVE to get that right, especially as it looks like the bald fraud could run off to another mercenary club in the summer.

They've had their time in the sun, the cracks are starting to appear. I will thoroughly enjoy it when it all comes crashing down and they're back to where they were. Where they belong.

Perfect.

Liverpool win the league.
“lol dippers giddy about winning the ‘more points than anyone else over a season' cup doesnt mean anything unless you get 198 points over 2 seasons sad twats”

Liverpool get 200+ points over two seasons.
“lol doesn’t mean anything unless your club was founded in 1880, dippers gonna dipper"

FSG sell Liverpool to the Emperor of a brutal intergalactic reich that powers its genocidal armies with pain extracted from human babies and wins the league by 300 points after assembling a team so expensive it literally warps space-time.
“Fair play to Liverpool, they had a good season. We need to invest in a new centre back.”

[ToneLa]

Liverpool win the CL
"Ahh, the league is more important, haha those dippers didn't win the league, the CL isn't as important"

Liverpool win the League
"We gave them a turn this year and they still needed VAR and bent refs. Haha they couldn't win the CL back to back when we win the league back to back!"

Liverpool win the CL AND the League:
"the League Cup is their bread and butter LMAO they can't even win THAT!"

Jake, it was his 11th birthday....and yeah he and his dad sounded sane enough. The rest are pure bin lids....we have literally rattled them from the top to the bottom. Small time fans who should go back to chatting about Weatherfield or whatever inanity made their life worthwhile before Abu Dhabi bought their souls.

[Dim Glas]

There isn't a more angry, joyless fanbase than Abu Dhabi FC's. And yep, they are well ahead of Everton in that race.

They are angry about EVERYTHING! It's amazing! They wipe the floor with teams, but they don't enjoy it, they just continue to be in a rage at anything they can be angry about (usually involves Liverpool or conspiracy theories).

Reading City lose their collective minds makes me think we should apologise to United for all the years we thought the game was bent in their favour...

I don't think we were remotely on that level.

[Raaphael]

Still surprised there are none among themselves calling their ridiculous claims out. Even if they feel short changed in some games, there should be limits to embarrassing theories they could put out.

As I`ve stated before, I`ve read Red Cafe a little bit for entertainment and it`s decent enough. Some irritation, but normal fan stuff. As a group of fans they are brilliant compared to the City fans.

On the Blue Moon forum? Where do you start? It`s an echo chamber of stupidity.

And a club with their owners claiming others are cheating. Maybe that says it all, but I mean, have some pride in yourselves and what you come up with.

A little dignity please.

[Chakan]

It's very odd, it's like there is a competition between Everton and City of who can be the most mental.

I have no idea who's winning at the moment, it's that close.

How did they feel about VAR after Spurs in the CL?

[reddebs]

I think the difference between the red and blue mancs is that the red side have enjoyed 30yrs of winning pretty much everything whilst we struggled but now they have their own problems to focus on.

They also see city the same as everyone else, a plastic oil rich club that won the jackpot and whose achievements were given, not earned.

Believe me if it was them we were battling with they wouldn't be being so civil or dignified.

That was what was weird reading the thread from the start, they were pretty magnanimous about it.

Disappointed obviously, annoyed about celebrating for nothing but the vast majority said the decisions were correct.

That was how we came into it with the CL game against us the season before and that we wouldn't be able to cheat this season.

They clearly see us as the bigger threat than Spuds [emoji16]

[Romford_Red]

So one offside decision that went against them, in a 2 legged game, that we won comfortably even if they'd had the goal awarded but they'd have gone on to become European Champions.

Yeah I can see the logic there.


Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

To be even fairer (and this is from memory so I could be wrong) there were one or two of our goals in the first leg that looked very, very, very, very, possibly, slightly offside.

I got no problem with them talking about how VAR would have changed that tie. It might have. But wrap that up with all of the rest of the lunacy, it becomes beyond parody. Especially the whole 'Liverpool won't win with VAR', ''Liverpool only win because of VAR' narrative. Especially because it makes no sense. VAR makes it HARDER for the FA (or whoever) to 'fix it' in one teams favour, because decisions can now be scrutinized and changed. Before VAR, it would have been easy to give us the title. Just send off Kompany. Award the 11mm goal and fake the picture. Award the nailed on penalty at home to Leicester...

They are truly brainless.

[KissThisGuy]

I think the two CL games have killed them.

Let's be honest they rightfully felt aggrieved at that disallowed goal to make it 2-0. They were screaming for VAR after this as we would have as well.

One year later and with VAR in hand, they're denied an all time classic CL win after a minute of wild jubilation. To compound matters it happens against Spurs again in the Premiere League.

It's poetic and hilarious, but it's exactly what they wanted.

WHEN VAR COMES IN WE'LL WIN EVERYTHING
*VAR JOINS THE CHAT*


You'd almost feel for them if they weren't so Everton.

Their first goal at the Etihad should've been disallowed for a foul on VVD, are they bringing that up?
WE AREN'T WINNING EVERYTHING, LETS BLAME VAR.

[Samio]

They fear a return to obscurity, and see is as a threat. We terrify them because they know their success is built on sand.

The sheik has had them for 12 years. Wonder how much longer he'll stay interested  - especially if City fall flat for a couple of seasons on the bounce?

I really wouldn't count on City's owners just throwing the towel in and leaving City. That will not happen. Not in their nature.

They already own the majority shares in 3 clubs (City, Melbourne, New York) and have shares in multiple others. Strategic sportswashing across the globe.

[tubby]

I think if RAWK wasn't moderated the way it is (shutting down embarrassing threads about the game being bent) then it could well have looked similar to Blue Moon back in the day.  There's still posters on here who talk about bent refs but as a collective, the posters on here know that that kind of nuttiness gets deleted pretty quick.

I'm not sure how well the "sportwashing" plan is working, if anything it just seems to have shone a spotlight onto their human rights abuses.

I think that most people in England do not give a shit about the subject of their owners and human rights abuses to be fair. 'Anyone but Liverpool' is the only mantra they live by.

Yes, we have never been that bad

Some of the weekend footy threads back when United were good could get filled with some nuttiness but on the whole it was only your typical Fergie time and United always get penalties kind of stuff.

Bluemoon needs quarantining.

[Skeeve]

People have mentioned it before, but it's very simple...

Opposition fans have selective memory, they don't focus on the decisions not in our favour because we are so fucking good that we win anyway.

They cannot comprehend just how good we are, genuinely, it's absolutely unfathomable for them. They HAVE to convince themselves that it's not possible without the aid of VAR, refs, the FA etc.

You see the same thing when it comes to injuries, according to most other fans we have had none all season and then when we point out all the ones we have had, they then try and claim none of them were significant ones, which is particularly ludicrous when one of them was Becker being out for 2 months. 

[Schmidt]

Probably not, but I doubt those people have been swayed into having a positive opinion of their owners either. Meanwhile there's been a steady trickle of articles pointing out what horrific people they are, which I'm sure won't help them.

Unfortunately I think the (paid) footballing world will end up being very positive about the world cup in Qatar when that happens.

It is insane really, you could understand them being annoyed if they'd lost, but these daft c*nts are raging over somebody else's game in a weekend where they hammered another side and their striker got a hattrick, surely you should be able to enjoy such things or if you can't then it would seem like a good idea to drop football entirely since the highs when your team does well are some of the best bits about it.

[Bobbyf9kungfu]

I work in Manchester so I know a few city fans, although there’s nearly as many Liverpool fans as city fans at our place . Not many of them go to the game, a couple do and a few more go to the cl games as they’re cheaper tickets. They all admit we are a brilliant team but also buy into the VAR narrative(as do the red mancs). All of them to a man can’t beat the thought of us winning the league, they really thought we’d never do it again and this is what’s causing pretty normal fellas to have mental breakdowns about us.

[MJD-L4]

I think that most people in England do not give a shit about the subject of their owners and human rights abuses to be fair. 'Anyone but Liverpool' is the only mantra they live by.

If it wasn't for us there would be nobody stopping this league becoming boring as fuck. The rest of the PL should loathe them just as much as we do. How anyone who isn't a City plastic can be supporting them to win the title is just beyond me.

They've turned up out of fucking nowhere with the finances of an entire nation behind them, bought up whoever the fuck they like and have started winning trophies domestically at an unprecedented rate. How can other fans want to see that succeed rather than a club like us doing it the right way?

I was only a teenager when Abramovich bought Chelsea but I feel like they got much more hate off the rest of the league than City get. They moan about us getting more coverage than them and people not giving a fuck for their "achievements" but they don't seem to get any grief from the media these days about where the success has come from. All that seemed to die down a bit for me after the 100 point season. The press should be asking them these questions in every conference. Where has the money come from? How much is Pep's off the books bonus every season? How many hundreds of millions are they going to spend in the summer?

Keep it fresh in people's minds. Just in case the average fan is forgetting what they're up against. A financially doped collection of hypocrite mercenary twats who will defend their torturer, human rights abusing owners to the death.

[Medellin]

Guardiola on catching Liverpool: "Forget about it. We would have liked to fight against them but we could not, for many reasons."

More than a hint but cleverly worded..

Here's one he may be referring to..

Ederson sent off and City's defence is fucking cack despite scoring TWICE!

Hmm..Pep taking the heat off himself here, no surprise after the amount of dough he has spunked on that team.
Pressure.
