I 2nd that yawn –
the points that NQDPare missing are :
1. that yesterday we were robbed in a major game that had had a major build up – meaning
2. that we all are (or should be) raw from that and wanting to group / share with each other getting behind the club
3. the OP puts out an entirely sensible post because he notes just how determined our manager is and it is good to see him so committed and seemingly very 'anti-scum' - something that posters on here have doubted - this was a good thing to share - so
4. this would have been a worthwhile thread and understandably CITY fans would have liked to comment on that - it was good to see Hughes being so clearly pro-CITY
5. but almost straight away we get the same old same old 'position' from NQDP that diverts the thread onto some semantic bollocks about the definition of a blue and 4 pages later that has been it - with NQDP posting almost as many posts as everyone esle put together - and now these latest - see I was right posts - MISSING THE POINT THAT HE STOPPED CITY FANS DISCUSSING SOMETHING WORTHWHILE TO INDULGE HIMSELF For what it is worth in line with the original post - there can be very few 'pure' blues unless like me you have been going since you able to walk / talk and have remained dedicated going to almost all games for decades. Everyone else has to earn the right to be called a blue - and of course many many do - but for that there is a starting point for everyone
Colin Bell was not a blue to begin with
Francis was not a Blue to begin with
Joe Mercer was not a blue to begin with
Tony Book was not a blue to begin with
NQDP was not a blue to begin with
Etc etc - the status had to be developed / earned
Mark Hughes most certainly was not a blue to begin and for me it is far too early to be giving him that accolade – but the ‘spirit’ of what the OP was drawing attention to was how good it was to see him seemingly passionate about all things CITY – Like everyone else (even more so in this case) the manager will have to be on a journey to earn the accolade - but this was perhaps a start? - now that was worth 4 pages of discussion by fans – not self-indulgent semantics
