View from the Away End

[CuteMancs]

These comments have amused me all day, and there are pages of them on their forums. I have cut it short (for once) because you will get the idea and I have just opened a beer, so time for some festive entertainment. Hope everyone has a lovely day tomorrow and look forward to these predictions coming true.

Urgh. No thanks, think I'll go to the pub.

Haha I have no hope for this one. Could be a big score with our defence

This could be one of our heaviest defeats. They could literally rip our tits off.

Christ

Having bought 2 tickets weeks ago, I'm begging for a government press conference tomorrow, stating that games have to be played behind closed doors from Sunday

Can’t see anything less than being hit for 5

Just **** off

It will be double figures with that defence

Man City could literally beat our 9-0 record

Fearful. Think I'll just pretend there's no football on BD this year.

What's the ****ing point

This is going to do wonders for our GD . Only plus is that scousers will fall further behind them in title race

Its genuinely best for us to forfeit and take the 3-0 loss

This could be double figures surely if they fancy it would a 10-0 loss get the owners thinking?

We are going to get battered harder than a fish at Filbert Mum's chippy.

Everyone expects us to lose this one heavily so reality in football is we could nick something. 1-1. But then I think of the injuries and think we’ll be 5 down at half time.

They don’t tend to outright batter mid table teams, so 7-0 I reckon.

God help us

I would gladly take a defeat by Man City if we could beat, or even draw against, Liverpool two days later. Anything to stop that Scouse muck and their vile hypocrite of a manager from winning the title.

No chance am I watching that back four against Man City.

This must be how a San Marino fan feels when France comes to town. I can't believe I'm actually sat here thinking anything below 5 would be nice and if we could maybe, just maybe get 1 goal and a couple of corners I'll have a great Christmas.

As long as Pep doesn't do his snidey tapping up post match on Youri that's fine. Can't stand that shite. Expecting a loss. Anything else is just a post-Christmas miracle.

To be honest, Covid could do us a favour at the moment. If we have to try to play against Man City without Soyuncu or Evans we are going to get fooked

I'm hoping Pep realises we have a major injury crisis and plays a weakened team and the score line stays below 3 goals. If he doesn't I'm concerned for the confidence of certainly the younger members of our team.

Bloodbath.

Channel our inner Burnley and park the bus for 90 mins with whatever bodies we have. We might get away with Man City not getting double digits. What a game to have at this moment, yeez.

No disrespect to anyone going to this but you all need sectioning imo.

They're gonna abuse us.

Our defence will have plenty of presents for ManCity but Rodgers will be left with the sack

Go as weak as possible v City and as full strength as possible v Liverpool. Don't like Pep but it would be fantastic to hear Klopps post match interview if we could stop them winning at our place. Nothing lower in this world than Liverpool football club.

Cheers CM for this and all the others over the year. True dedication my friend and very much appreciated

Couldn't really pick a fav as there were so many, but the posters praying for games to he called off and taking a 3-0 forfeit defeat tickled me

[Dameerto]

Some funny comments in there, they seem to hate the dippers (and Klipperty) as much as we do. Thanks for another year of this as well CM.

[nottsblue]

And I love the way they despise the dippers too.

[CTID Hants]

Cheers CM , hope you have great Christmas

I like this fellas idea the most

From the couple of Leicester fans I know, they’re very much one club fans who don’t have any animosity towards us. They know the score and those posts seem to back it up.

Cheers, mate, love reading this thread.

[ruralblue]

Funny read CM.

Thank you for these during the last year. Love n best wishes.

Horrible set of fans and club. Remember when they won the league and they had the signs saying, “we didn’t buy the league” - sly dig at us when we weren’t even in the title race that season.
Their mascot diving in front of Grealish earlier this season. Their fans booing Grealish in the charity shield. Their 11 men behind the ball playing like their lives depended on it against us when we beat Liverpool to the title the other year.

I hope we smash the twats.

Serious question Mase, does any club have fans you don't think are horrible bastards?

A few. But what set of fans have been okay with us since our takeover and not turned into total twats with us?

My views are based on the fans I’ve encountered. Watford fans for example were great at the final the other year. Villa fans were absolutely disgusting.

In fairness my opinions of opposition fans have been formed from going to loads of away games in the days when we were shit. I don't get to hardly any now because since we became good I can rarely get tickets, so I'm pretty much restricted to home matches.
The two that prompted the question are the two you've mentioned in this thread, Leicester and Villa, who TBH, I've always found to be ok.
I think in general it's just the glory hunting entitled ones whose noses we've put out of joint who are the dicks.
The only real grief I've experienced away is at chavs and Leeds.

[Mase]

When we were shit we went away and sat in the home end at WBA, Sheff Utd, Notts Forrest, Macclesfield, Blackburn because we knew home supporters that got us tickets. Never an issue at all. We didn’t jump up and celebrate because we’re not twats, although there were hardly any goals to celebrate back then. I’ve been to Ewood since the takeover and the attitude towards us is completely different now.

We sat in the Holt End at Villa when Haaland scored and that’s the only place we were told do not even speak when you get in the ground. Stay sat down unless Villa score and then celebrate. Horrible experience.

I’m guessing you weren’t at the cup final against Villa? I’ve spoken to a few on here and all agree, their fans that day were disgusting. Spitting at and chasing City fans that were in families, not lads that were up for it. A kid City fan (roughly 8 years old) was punched by one of their fans queuing for the train. Trashing takeaways and shops around Wembley. It wasn’t just one or two of them it was thousands.
Not to mention the years before that with their treatment of Gareth Barry when he went back. Disgusting bunch and I’m surprised anyone thinks otherwise.

[patrickblue]

I did go to the Villa game, and didn't see any of that shit going on, I'm not saying it didn't, just didn't see it. I have heard it happened, both on here and from others
I've been to Villa loads in the good(bad) old days and not really noticed much friction, the notable one being the cup game where Micah scored that header.
The fact that away tickets are nigh on impossible to get is for me the the biggest downside to us becoming what we always sang about, being the best team in the land and all the world.

Agree, it doesn’t help that teams whack their prices up for us. Was it Fulham the other year that charged our away fans £52?!

You took their best player, they aren't exactly going to shower you with roses! They think they're massive and should be in our position based on status, Brummies in general are self entitled wankers, speaking from experience

I agree with you about Villa, I was at Wembley and I saw loads of incidents.
Can't agree with your Leicester comments. They defended well in the Vinny game the other year, likewise they defended well at Anfield the same season and got a draw. Without it we don't win the league.

I was probably a bit harsh on Leicester fans. Those signs they were holding up digging us out after they won the league still irritate me though. Instead of enjoying their day they’re worried about making a sign to proclaim they didn’t buy the league.
