WHY OH WHY OH WHY DO I SUPPORT CITY?

[lucycat]

they ruin my weekend sooo often

WHAT City????

Glutten for punishment?

Don't worry I support Mansfield Town FC (the mighty stags) and they are much worse than Man city.

WHAT City? the city - Manchester.

2 nil down after 4 minutes

marvellous..... 4-0

well I won't be watching Match of the day tonight again

Really fancy going straight to the pub.

Because it's naff beyond words to support United. It's got to be City. Even though they never win anything. Ever.

tell me about it........

been supporting them for 20 years and they've won naff all - except a play-off final in 1999 against Gillingham now that was a great day

I supported City as a child because it gave me one more thing to fight with my brother about - he's a United fan.

With me it's Bristol City, now that truly is a triumph of hope over experience. Every year they lull you into a false sense of hope only to chuck it all away in the last few weeks of the season.

Also they are the only club to have gone down four leagues in four years.... dark days, less said....

Aw you have my sympathy.

A great colleague of mine supports City, whereas we support Stoke, and we're both well-versed in the art of losing with dignity, lol.

I do sometimes wish i was one of those glory seeking supporters who could change their allegiance to whoever happened to be winning....but no City it is.

It's supposed to be entertainment, so why do they p*ss me off so much.

At least our no8 had a good game again!

dh is a city fan. not a happy bunny this afternoon.

Dunno Lucycat - Utd is the only team in Manchester

erm Utd aren't actually in Manchester - but don't get me started on that!

This thread title could have been written by me, lucycat, except it's Hull City - slap bang bottom of the championship after losing (again!) today.
Only consolation is that dh's team lost 5-0

Stuart Pearce will be under big pressure now. I was listening on the radio and apparently City really were dreadful

oh no betty - we've been there, it's awful, especially as my 'other' team is Stockport County who are having an even more torrid time than City.

It's a world away from the millionaires.

We lack craft and guile - with a few exceptions, we have no pace, no confidence and I do wonder about Pearce's substitutions sometimes. We weren't that bad really - I have seen much worse from us.

did you go to the game?

ha, we lost (again) today....

More City woe.

Lucycat- because once you have seen them play just once, the atmosphere gets you. It's like nothing else. I have supported them all my life and have yet to see them win anything- play off excepted- but I wouldn't change my team for the world. I am used to the ups and the downs by now!

Dh is a scouser- no particular affiliation- but after I took him to Maine Road for the first time, he was hooked Stretford Rangers can't compare

I find football very addictive. If I haven't been for a while, I start to feel a bit on edge. Being able to shout raucously for 90 minutes is so, well, therapeutic.

How are they not in Manchester? Stretford is Manchester and I'm pretty sure the postcode is 'M' something.

I bet you could get into the city centre about as quick as you can from Maine Rd!

'Twas a city jokey thing, that's all

yeh, it's the old Salford being a city and all that......

Takes me 20 mins to walk from CoMS to Piccadilly - on a good day.

No i didn't go today, Wigan wanted to charge £35 for a ticket - I go to most home games though - when SKY don't put them on at stupid times.

i think United are in Trafford - it's in Gtr manchester.
my hubby supports Bristol City so he wasn't happy today either. they could have gone top!
have pity on Stockport supporters... also long suffering....
