parade?

[BobbyJ1956]

Assuming City beat Wigan to win the Cup, should there be a victory parade through town? It was great in 2011 after 35 years with nowt, it was spectacular in 2012, but the relative disappointment of this season makes another parade feel a bit hollow, especially with the rags doing their "20" gloatings. Should they just bring the Cup back on the train and put it in the cabinet and leave it at that till City do the treble in 2014?

[Alex Sapphire]

surely we should get a set of stocks built in Albert Square and let them know how we feel

[city9_4eva]

Parade it, and enjoy it!!

Fucking strange, strange thread mate?!

Damn right we should have a parade. And out do them like we did last time.

[lets all have a disco]

Of course we fucking should,IF we win it.

Make it bigger and badder and better than their piece of shit parade when it happens.

Anyone remember the presenter on Sky (black guy, City fan presumably) saying of the rags last parade: "It's almost one-deep in places"? Chortle, chortle....

What were the scenes at the swamp like last night? Anything like this? Or was it more a gentle round of applause from all the [strike]fans[/strike] tourists.

It was fucking half empty before they completed a lap of honour! Must of been a mad rush to catch the last train to euston.

Fucking right we have a parade and I hope it pisses down with rain on theirs. I will be doing a fuckign rain dance, I kid you not.

If I could stick my fist down a cyber fucking space tunnel Id smash half the fuckwits in the head.
FUCKIGN WANKING MUNCHENS,I FUCKING HATE THEM.

[Nickyboy]

Id be more inclined just to have a big 'do' at the Etihad after the final match, maybe carry it on to areas surrounding the stadium for a bit of a street party.

Think we should win the cup first before jumping the gun and talking of parades. Wigan aint going to turn over and let us rape them like they do for manure. They will come at us all guns blazing.

This. Last time I checked we had won nowt yet. We need to win the effin thing before worrying about stuff like this. Wigan can play and if we sleep walk into that game we will lose.

Its the FA Cup.. most prestigious domestic cup in the world! If we win it.. Parade it! Celebrate it! Drink from it!

Should we by some streak of chance, coincidence or luck, having overcome the abject failures of Marwood and Mancini and avoided relegation by a mere 60 odd points and scraped out of the relegation places by possibly 15 places, manage to overcome Wigan in the final at Wembley and win the worthless, Disney sponsored Mickey Mouse Cup: WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A PARADE.

Though it will hardly be a problem considering the magnificent managerial and tactical skills of Martinez,who at the 3rd or 4th time of asking will probably have already lead his team victoriously into the Championship by dint of winning relegation. We have also to consider that Mancini's abject tactics, a 2nd choice keeper, Kompany who is a shadow of his former self partnering a kid who's bound to be overcome with the occasion, Yaya who does nowt and Barry who's too slow, Silva who has been (at best) ordinary, Aguero who can't score, Tevez who's a cunt and Dzeko who is weeeeell, he's Dzeko...and God forbid that Lescott gets a call up...Apart from that, the whole thing is worthless so no players will bother trying anyway....and did I mention Kolarov? Probably best not to eh!

...and can you picture what any victory parade will look like as it is watched by the handful on SSN and commented on by Brazil and Irani? Disgruntled City fans not bothering to turn up as a protest of their disappointment of only having the 2nd best team in the country. An empty Albert Square, save for two lone figures,a sobbing Piccsnumberoneblue, who told us weeks ago that winning the FA Cup wouldn't make up the disappointment of a cataclysmic season, being consoled by Ant (Somewhere In The World), complete with Marwood mask, waving a letter of apology and support from Doomie for his non attendance.

Should we win and should the club decide to hold a parade, the team should be taken across Town on the tram,having paid for their own tickets. The tram could be sponsored by Samaritans or The Citizens' Advice Bureau and it should reverse it's wayfrom Victoria Station to Manchester Central in a symbolic gesture of how we have gone backwards this season. The players should be suitably dressed in sky blue hair shirts, with the word "SORRY" emblazoned across the front.

Additional evening entertainment could be the public ridiculing of Mancini on the Town Hall steps by laughing clowns dressed in Everton and Southampton shirts, prior to his flogging, hanging, drawing and quartering. This could all be done to a background of City's more recent relegation games shown on a big screen with a voice over from Taggart himself.

The genius that I am....fuck me!...I amaze myself.

Take a bow, John.
