Following a football team, properly following them, is like jumping off a high building tied to a long piece of elastic.  The lower you fall the higher you bounce back.  All the plastic Mancs all over the media love in this morning should know that this is as good as it gets.  Everything now goes downhill.  I remember when Manchester City was a proper football club not just a big pile of money.  I was working in South London the day of the League 1 playoff final and the Mancs were leaving their play off game believing they had lost.  Look at them now.  Glory hunting football arrivistes who assault opposition players and trash pitches.

I was working in Manchester 20 odd years ago when they scraped past Gillingham on penalties, Brian. All the Man City fans I knew then were decent, knowledgable sorts, even more put upon then we were in recent years. Now though,  they make the average Man U daytripper look like the salt of the earth.

I hate football. I hate Man City even more. I also hate Sky.

But I’ll still be watching the preseason and getting excited during this transfer window!

Fundamentally, we have the basis of a very exciting team. How many other teams have led 2-0 at Manchester City? But then again, how many teams have gone on to lose 3-2 from that position?

It’s an addiction for me. Yes, we don’t win everything. Or 50% of things roughly. But that’s why I love Villa. I hate them for what they do to me, but I love them because they do it.

More coffee needed.

I watched it yesterday in a student pub in town. There were loads of Liverpool fans which I expected but what I didn't expect was the amount of Man City "fans" and they all seemed to be locals.There was just one table of Villa fans who got dogs  abuse after City put the 3rd goal in. It was hard to believe I was in a pub in Birmingham. A whole pub full of plastics who wouldn't know where to find the Etihad or Anfield. A truly horrible experience. Never again.

Brummies following Manc teams is fucking criminal. Come the revolution I'd put them up the wall first.

I found them a right bunch of objectionable, arrogant, ungracious arseholes after the League Cup Final.

There are probably Brummie Mancs who play golf. Not even the proper golf with the ramps and windmills.

Good summing up. Yesterday showed both the potential we have and also where we need to improve.

I don't want those c unts anywhere near me.

I'd rather be exactly what we are than change to come onto their radar.
