Where's Danbert?
Here's an old Wigan tune

Wigan turned up and City didn't.
A bit like Danbert. Where is he?Quote:

Destroyed by United in the league over 38 games
Beaten in the FA Cup by a team that was non-league only 15 years ago.
This is a good day.
paaah who needs to stay in the premiership if you can have moments like that in the cup! Triumphant result, well done Wigan
Aye.. got to agree wit Danbo.. future looks blue.. admittedly they are way off the pace in the league.. won nothing all season.. squad disharmony.. sold their best centre forward.. about to sack the manager 12 months after winning the league for the first time in 40 years... financially probably breaking new rules.. but look at United.. young squad.. stable handover to another long term contract holder.. just won the league.. about spot on business model... but still tick tock..
No complaints. The best team won. Back to typical City. :thunbdown:
:thumbup: Good to see you taking it in good grace Danbert.Quote:

This feeling of disappointment is so much more familiar. Last years emotions of elation just didn't feel right. Being shit is the new being good. ;)Quote:

Honestly I am. Five relegations really add Steel to your bones.
The financial aspects of our rise and the sudden ability to take the piss out of Liverpool and United supporters I have taken to like a Duck to Water or a Pop Star to Cocaine: - but I still struggle with the ultimate success and glory that this and future City sides and managers will bring us. :confused:
Good man Danbert.Quote:

for any city fan, surely it is more galling than dissapointing to see such a performance! It was as if they weren't even arsed about the game, no passion or heart what so ever, a sorry display in stark cotrast to the winners. Maybe the blame could be partly laid at Mancini's door, looks as if he can't do anything to lift his players when they need it. Looks a certainty that he'll be shown the door
Rev - If there's a team we were goingto lose a final to, I'm probably happiest to lose to Wigan. This was probably going to be their only FA cup final in history. I like their manager’s attitude and I like the way they play football. On the day they deserved it.
After our poor performances since we beat United and Chelsea, it’s not that surprising; although I hoped we might find our mojo again.
No tempo to our game. Mancini seems to have lost his passion.
Our fans behaved very well, staying to applaud them getting the trophy.
We will be back, stronger in the future!
You've got me in tears at the moment Danbert.. I feel so sorry for plucky little City...Quote:

And TBH I'd probably class last season as more devastating than finishing in the lower reaches of the top league.. I wasn't around when we got relagated but I'd expect last season would have eclipsed it,.. but you keep it in persepective.. thats football..
The way you charp on you'd think only city had ever had such bad luck... and lets face it that bad luck only ended with the addition of money.. first highly dodgy money... then possibly less dodgy but still highly questionable sponsorship deals..
Aye you'll come back.. Liverpool will.. all teams will eventually.. its why your tick tock is such nonsense and United have proved time and time again after being written off that we will come back.. football goes in Cycles.. Leeds will eventually get back.. the teams from big cities with big fan bases always came back.. almost..

Iain it wasn't such a bad thing yesterday. Some of our 'newer' supporters had become Manchester United like in their expectations. They needed to understand that following City has never been and never will be plain sailing.Well they saw it with their own eyes yesterday.
Because of Manchester United supporting Manchester City is unlike holding your arms up for anybody else, it's more than that and it always will be. :)
Hold on shock horror.. winning teams gets extra supporters.. its like Scouse fans in Surry complaining about glory supporters.. how much did Hulls attendance increase once they gor promoted....Quote:

And now Mancini has paid the price... 12 months after the first league title he's sacked.. shocking.. what a classless club..
http://i44.tinypic.com/35hmj9u.jpgLove the man myself, he stood up to Bacon-face and brought us 2 great trophies, shame he couldn't have brought a 3rd yesterday though. He helped put MCFC back on the footballing map and will be sadly missed but never forgotten. He has a place in our history and he deserves it.Quote:

YET it is a rich paradox that Munich was perhaps the making of Manchester United. Many would argue so Iain. :confused:Quote:

If they'd of been playing Hartlepool they might have won the cupQuote:

well I do like to be beside the seaside... ;)Quote:

TBH Pelligrini? is a risk, he's done well but also not well at other places. Mancini is a proven winner, time and time again, and a young bloke. City could have dominated with him if they'd just given him stability.
Its why I'm so pleased United gave Moyes a 6 year contract from the off.. a very bould statement.. thats a 30 million pound investment.. nice touch.
You're right. United are going to undertake massive changes at both manager and board level and now would be the time for the likes of City to capitalise on the uncertainty.Quote:

That said, I'm looking forward to the Victory parade tonight. Danbert, we can compare notes next week over whose is louder and better this year ;)
No doubt we will be hearing that 600 million attended the parade only for the Greater Manchester Plod to say there was only 25,000k. It is bad of me to hope someone falls off the top deck of the bus? :pQuote:

£28 million - it is worse than the fat-cat banking scandal.:closed:
Ah well, at least Roberto brought a bit of style to the job. The football scarf as a fashion accessory is back :thumbup: I will miss his presence in the Premier League.
Warnock for city???
Look at the pictures around 7-15ish, I was watching it live in the gym on Sky News, through the outer parts of Manchester, people were running alongside the bus. It weren't crowded. Yes, the central parts were busy but I was surprised on the TV pictures.Quote:

Put it this way, we couldn't get within 30m of the bus and Albert Square was a complete shut out. Will put some photos up in a bit but it was as big as '99Quote:

culminating in considering a season finishing 2nd in the Prem and reaching the FA Cup Final as a failure
Don't doubt that part but look at the coverage earlier on, it didn't look that busy. I am presuming and did presume that alot of people were in the city centre, it just surprised me that less were further out.Quote:
