Comedy Club.

[steelsnail]

As much as I'm loving their apparent fall from grace, and as much as I'm hopeful that it's a permanent decline rather than a transitional one, you still need to try to maintain a degree of realism. They are currently sitting in the top half of the table and like it or not, they are still the reigning champions. To brand them a comedy club is a little premature. I dunno just how short memories are around here but I recall a time when we had dropped like a stone into the 3rd tier. I remember reading the news that Dave Bassett had quit as our manager before he'd even took over. I remember Coppell only lasting 33 days. I remember fans walking onto the pitch at Maine Road and tearing up their season tickets. I remember when we pulled out all the stops and broke the club record to sign Lee Bradbury. I remember Alan Ball. I could go on and on and on and on, but I'm sure I don't need to remind people that for many years, for the rest of the footballing world, we were pure comedy. We've come a long way since then and we deserve our place in the sun more than any other fans, IMO. It's also nice to be able to have a little gloat at them bastards across the road, they deserve it. But let's put things into a little perspective. We don't want to become the cunts that they have become, do we?

Good post .

Love it.

I do however feel it is very important us MCFC fans behave with with class and dignity now we are at the echelon of English football , something those thick ignorant ignoramous cunts from Trafford never ever achieved . Wankers .

Feck that - I had thirty odd years of shit from them lot and they'll be getting it back everytime they finish below us, let alone if they got relegated etc. They may not be a comedy club (yet) but they're still getting it, mainly as most of them have less humour and good grace about a defeat than the scousers.

Excellent post.

The RAGS On course for one off the worst, if not thee worst defenses of a Premiership title ever.

If you're talking about the Prem only, then Blackburn finished 7th the season after winning, 21 points behind the Rags, and 28 points lower than their Prem-winning season's tally.
If you're talking of all time, then you really should look up a bit more of Our history.

I am deliberately only talking about the Premiership.They can still emulate Blackburn,they have the right man at the helm to do it.

I took some stick last season,i am enjoying every minute off their demise,i think it is piss funny.I mean who in their right mind thinks Moyes is a decent manger other than an old piss head (love it).

To be fair, if the 2nd half of the season goes the way of the 1st half then the Rags would be 22 points behind the winner although they would only be 21 points down on last season. Only, he says ;-)

PS. It is every Blues duty to kick them while they're down, hell, they've been doing it to us for years. This maybe your only chance so strike while the poker is very, very hot ;-)

touche mate.I fully agree

I hope you and (we) have a good New Year.

Although I'm a very classy person I make an exception when laughing at this turd of a club.

We are worse than them, how many threads do we need on them?

I was thinking this as well.. we say how obsessed they are with us but what have we become?

Before anyone jumps at me (hell I was called a closet red the other day because I go to the pub to watch a lot of their matches in hopes of many days like tomorrow when I play a neutral but cheer at every goal against them) I think this is hilarious, but would prefer we wait until end of season before we have a go at them.

I agree also. It seems some of our fans get more pleasure seeing them lose then they do seeing us win which isn't right.

Now that just unfounded bollox mate and you know it. If you want to play it coy and all that then fair enough but don't have a go at Blues who want to have their party, by God, they've earned the right to give a little back.

It's only banter afterall, isn't that what the Rags say?

I wouldn't want to see them not existing. I'm getting as much pleasure watching those cunts lose as watch God's own win.

Added to that posters were saying they would still want the Rags to lose to our title challengers even though we would benefit if they won...
I feel entitled to have a go at that.

I'm not meaning to take anyone's fun and I too am enjoying their decline but it does seem a few are a little too obsessed with them and and what they are up to. They are not a threat to us anymore.

We got a brilliant win away from home yesterday but on here today all the talk is about THEM. There's 4 topics on here about them on our first page. All saying near enough the same thing.
We accuse the media of giving them undue and disproportionate attention and we're doing the exact same thing!
A mid table side lost at home to a top 4 contender. There's no story there ;)

It is all banter in the end. My Rag friends dished it out when they were on top and I dish it out now but it's all good natured and humoured.
A rag loss however hilarious, will never give me an ounce of the pleasure that a City win does.
Most of the Rags I know are taking the piss of themselves and their team and seeing the funny side of it which is funny to see.

That's rubbish and you know it, and it's going back to the daft idea that some people are "better" fans than others. I think people have earned the right to gloat at scums expense after all these years. Don't you agree with the "Singing the Blues" song either?

Of course I do.
I would never claim to be a better fan than anyone else.
Of course we're allowed to gloat to them. But the day after a great win for us I'd expect to see more talk of us than them!

[blue 68]

Long may their mediocre results continue, and then we can ram their jibes of worse title defence ever down their stupid gullable throats. Long live Moy(l)es!

I know what you mean, but it isn't going to happen. It's all too ingrained. I get a bit annoyed when they start singing the anti scum songs when we're playing someone else, but I know it's not going to go away, so just go with the flow.

Sometimes you've got to lighten up mate. That view you state is one persons way of showing his hatred for the Rags whilst showing his love for our club, something that shouldn't be taken literally but more with an appreciation and understanding. Some Blues, dependant on where they live, have taken some serious abuse and not only verbal. A couple of years back when we'd beaten United it all kicked off in a pub down the road from me. This happened because there were 2 Blues who had the audacity to watch a match in a pub. One of the Blues was stabbed whilst the other was left unconcious, both hospitalised because some armchair fuckwits couldn't handle the pain of losing a game.

Now, this is an extreme case but it does go to show the lengths certain members of society will go to prove they are better. The problem is that they seem to have a large contingent of these idiots and whether it be verbal or physical, they just can't help themselves.

Nothing wrong with banter mate, I/we do it all the time. The difference is that Blues take it with a sense of humour whereas many of them use it with a vicious slant and try to put individuals down and somehow lord it over others.

I find it better to actually play them up, telling them it will all come good and that they have what it takes to come back. That way they walk away smiling but realise after the next defeat what I was actually doing. It brings them down from that high horse, just enough for me to get the next blow in.
