Sunday's EPL and other football (not our Women's game)

[gsobers96]

It's more the plastic fans that became fans 12 years ago. Proper fans make up about 10% of that support, the rest are glory hunting gimps.

Like the young Scottish boy in the pub I’m in going mad for City. Guy couldn’t sound more Glaswegian if he tried.

 

[Jamiegatami]

State of these man city fans. Embarrassing

On that note, why don’t we do Chelsea match threads on here anymore? What happened to all the blues brothers chat?

 

[Aragorn]

It's a pity West Ham weren't pushing for a European place today. They're pretty much just going through the motions.

Chasing ghosts for most of the match...must be disheartening to say the least when every City player looks comfortable on the ball and you barely get near them.

Odds on next season too I would imagine.

 

[Big Hepy]

Not youngsters either grown men

I was on the pitch at sheepville in 87. I was 10 so didn't know any better

 

[top_cat]

Big backing from the home fans at Arsenal.

Strong season for them but the one slip up this year has been punished by the city machine.

Aye Villa at home, f.ucked it.

 

[giogaddi]

Just noticed the Palace score. Jesus!

 

[FMTLoyal]

I would genuinely rather Liverpool won the title than Man City and that’s saying something.

 

[Azzurri]

Silly that really.

Can't disagree tbh

Well it is the first time it's been done, four in a row, still think they are arseholes but that is a big thing for them, long way from the "noisy neighbours" quote from Sir Alex. Sayings like that always seem to bite you on the bum.

 

[Rab_bear]

Big goal for us from Brugge

 

[andy17x]

When they done this last time round was any one banned at City? National TV footage of a plethora of folk on they park. Get them identified and banned or it will keep happening.

Took ages to clear last time as well. Players not being able to celebrate on the pitch is not supporting your club

 

[gsobers96]

Aye Villa at home, f.ucked it.

But at least that result means Spurs lose out on the CL. So silver linings and all that.

 

[Maestro72]

United ending the season on a negative goal difference - what an indictment.

 

[Avalonpark]

City fans celebrating. I’m sick and still raging that but for three stupid results over the last few months this could have been us.

 

[MancGer86]

I'd say it's more like 50% real, 50% gimp

 

[Morpheus]

The man city game had the same atmosphere that you'd see at the bowls, then to cap it all off with a pitch invasion is the most "look at me, look at me" things ever. Plastic club with the most plastic fans in European football.

 

[dublinbluenose]

“Football is for the fans”

Also…

“Get aff the pitch, ya cunts”

I don’t know how some on here would have coped with pittodrie in 87.we even took goal posts into the beach end

 

[WLF]

West Ham haven’t done bad at all really. Their fans have been absolute pricks to Moyes who’s done a more than respectable job there.

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

Man City win 4 titles in a row while Utd finish 8th.

That would have blown everyones minds 10 years ago.

 

[giogaddi]

Not quite sure what more Arsenal could've done tbh. City are just relentless after Xmas every season. One slip I think Arsenal had and it proved fatal.

 

[gers1978]

Aye the bitterness over City on here is fucking tragic.

Maybe the 115 cheating charges against them have something to do with it?

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Pitch invasions becoming a thing should get in the bin.

I can guarantee that if we win the league next season our fans will head on to the pitch. It's inevitable.

 

[DerHammer88]

You can't have visited in the last century like, I have amazing memories of Maine Road personally and Man City.

Completely irrelevant.

The club you're referring to is a thing of the past.

 

[Wazza]

10/11 available.

If we didn’t pitch invade after Leipzig we won’t then

 

[SDF]

Got to feel for Arsenal. Arteta has built quite the side.

Improved in every category(wins, points, goals for, goals against) and it still wasn't enough.

Is a top drawer centre forward the final piece in the jigsaw for them ?

 

[Ron Swanson]

I don’t know how some on here would have coped with pittodrie in 87.we even took goal posts into the beach end

I just said similar to my pal there!

Even Broomfield in 92 and Easter Road in 05 would have triggered a few

 

[Wazza]

Completely irrelevant.

If you say so, what do you think they should do? Know plenty who have stopped going and some who still do go.

 

[dublinbluenose]

I was on the pitch at sheepville in 87. I was 10 so didn't know any better

I was 21 and a heard of wild horses wasn’t stopping me getting on the pitch

 

[DerHammer88]

If you say so, what do you think they should do? Know plenty who have stopped going and some who still do go.

Don't think there's anything they can do. When the oil money came so did the new "fans".

 

[JC85]

City fans celebrating. I’m sick and still raging that but for three stupid results over the last few months this could have been us.

If we'd beaten Motherwell, County and Dundee we'd probably have lost the league on goal difference.

 

[Blue Lou Boyle]

It's more the plastic fans that became fans 12 years ago. Proper fans make up about 10% of that support, the rest are glory hunting gimps.

When City were in the 3rd tier league in 98/99 they were getting crowds of 25-30 thousand every home game. Even with Utd winning everything they always had a sizeable support.

Looking at your age you clearly werent aware of that at the time.

Yes their success has brought out some plastics (happens with every successful club) but this idea they are just a glory hunting support apart from 10% is simply not the case.

And I say that as someone with no affection for City and wanted Arsenal to win the league.

 

[Big Hepy]

Mate it's up there in best days ever.

 

[Wazza]

lol, like I say plenty still go from before all that. Clear you have little knowledge of the fanbase.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

If we didn’t pitch invade after Leipzig we won’t then

Completely different.

I didn't sense any likelihood of a pitch invasion at the end of that game. Plus we hadn't actually won anything.

A league title clinching game next season is likely to see a foray on to the pitch. Mark my words. For starters, UB's will be all over it.

They are getting Benjamin Sesko I think. To be fair they will struggle to topple city unless they go down the cheating route for years and cook the books.

Remember going their first match in that league with a school mate, sold out on a Friday night v Blackpool. Still a good buzz in pubs etc on a match day there, plenty of lads still go.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Mate it's up there in best days ever.

I can still hear the commentary from
Archie McPherson on the highlights in my head “on come the supporters they have broken ranks”

 

[JayDee]

Youngster Guler makes it 1-0 to Real Madrid.

 

[Bluetyler]

Well done Citeh. Amazing team and manager.

All is not well at the most pious club in world football.

Just before Jesús Gil Manzano 's initial whistle in Barça-Rayo Vallecano , the fans made themselves felt at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc, positioning themselves on the state issue that is the focus of Barcelona fans these days. " Xavi, yes, Laporta, no!" and shouts of " Laporta , resign! " were heard from the Grada d'Animació area at Gol Nord.

With the game at stake, the chants against Laporta and in favor of Xavi were repeated , although they were answered with whistles in rejection from another part of the Barcelona fans.

Cánticos de "Xavi, sí; Laporta, no" y "Laporta, dimisión" y algunos pitos como respuesta

Justo antes del pitido inicial de Jesús Gil Manzano en el Barça-Rayo Vallecano, la afición se dejó sentir en el Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys de Montjuïc

I’ll hold my hands up and say I got it wrong with Arteta. Thought he was a decent manager but never thought he’d build a side that good. Really wanted Arsenal to do it just for the rangers connection too.

That being said, you wonder why they didn’t give Emery the time they afforded Arteta. Hope Arsenal build on this and do it next season.

 

[Donsky]

Aye, nobody has won it that amount of times because nobody has had those many advantages over their "rivals".

 

[Potnbear]

Stop being mean to us lol

It's a buzz thing on here, one starts it about being a shitty support then the bandwagon jumpers pile in lol

 

[WLF]

Does the person that does Micah Richards hair use a ruler or something?

 

[Stoorie]

This thread.

“Man City fans sitting quietly in the stands, hate them”

“Man City fans not sitting quietly in the stands, hate them”

Ah but….their no like us though…

 

[giogaddi]

Someone posted the other day that Arteta has spent half a billion.
