Tonight's Football

Yep. I generally find city fans to be an alright bunch too.

They were when they were moaning every week and were trying to convince everyone that really they're a massive, massive club. However, these days I see that the wankers hat is fitting them more and more comfortably.

But does that apply to City fans who've been going for years?

I bet they feel as sick of the johnny come latelys as everyone else does.

I know a couple of City fans who are just loving this period and enjoying every minute because they have no idea how long it will last. But seemingly there are plenty of "newer fans" who are screaming disaster if they lose a game against Barca and calling for sackings every five minutes. It is just modern football I guess.

Not your typical type that you get from Arsenal / Liverpool / United.

All my family are City fans - except me. They all grew up in Stockport, Chadderton, Denton Hattersley and Hyde whereas my parents moved to Bolton when I was but a nipper. They aren't a bad bunch as rellies go

GMR, or whatever they call it these days, used to be a hoot when Citeh were poor, or even ordinary.

Every win was the beginning of World domination. Every defeat the need to have a clear out ... starting with the manager and culminating with more or less the whole squad. Any young player capable of lacing up his boots and achieving half a dozen completed passes was the new Colin Bell.

I miss those days.

Some of them yes, most definitely.

Why? You've pretty much got exactly that situation at the club you actually support....drink in the goodness.

How so ?

Every win here is seen as the unlikely outcome of a fckwits meanderings. Every lose confirms out worst suspicions and a decent youngster coming through is either a mirage or ....... well, tbh, a mirage.

Not the same as the GMR suicide hour at all.

It is exactly the same. Any young player who scores in the ressies should be in the first team.

We lose and it is the end of the world. Win a couple and it is the start of a run.

What you've described is pretty much every club that has had better days at some point...City fans were only the marker for that because there were a relatively large number of them and they were struggling on and off for a relatively long time.

I can absolutely 100% guarantee you there will be fans of other clubs like Oldham or Rochdale who listen to Radio Manchester (Not GMR any longer) who will say "Bolton fans moaning on again....." who find it hilarious, in exactly the same way.

It's best when an apoplectic Bijou Bob rings in. "I've traveled down from the Arctic Tundra to watch that shit .............."

You are just argumentative for the sake of it. Citeh fans took that to extremes I've never heard before with, maybe, the exception of Everton fans.

I disagree totally. You think other fans weren't laughing their nuts off and shaking their heads when the saw the scallies with painted Megson out bedsheets? You think they didn't think "what a load of entitled tossers Bolton fans are"?

Of course they did. And they probably thought the relegation "back to where they belong" was hilarious too. Especially those clubs in the North West like Oldham etc who get to here Bolton fans on phone ins more than other areas of the country might.

There was so much City angst because as I say they went through a long period of disappointment and they maintained a relatively large fan base through that.

But I hear on the radio and elsewhere stuff like "no disrespect but we should be beating the likes of...." which is exactly the sort of stuff City fans came out with.

I'm not saying it is wrong or right but I'd certainly not be saying Man City fans acted any differently to how ours are. It was louder possibly and in greater number but not different.

Sorry
I was unaware that City ever employed Megson

They have employed him in the past.

OK I meant as manager

[TANGODANCER]

Our Gary against Drogba tonight. Should be interesting....

[LeverEnd]

Wigan 1 nil up at home to Yeovil going into the last 10 mins. Cue 5 goals in the last 8 mins plus injury time. 3-3.

[bobo the clown]

'Apy 'Arry"s calamity show again tonight .... 3-0 loss to Sheff Wed.

What a shame.

I've not achieved stage 2 yet though. Still learning and goodness knows what level Bish and Monty are at
