Ritchierich Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Brilliant that! City are no longer Manchester City, just a collection of very highly paid mercenaries who happen to be playing for a club based in a city called Manchester. If the corrupt Abu Dhabi rulers had bought Norwich City they’d all be living in bleedin Norfolk !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyes appear to have been closed. Had no idea where the ball was in the immediate aftermath. And Delph was a bit of a twat in his League One days at Leeds. I can see why the colour of card changed.

JoeP Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm all for an FA Cup giant-killing - it's just a shame it had to be Wigan who were the giant-killers this time round.

Suspect it would be different these days with the ludicrous degree of polarisation being displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 When we were many peoples second team, would be interesting to know how Bury, Dale and Wigan fans felt about us. Probably Wigan were not bothered, very little success or achievement except outside the FL till that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only as it stands today, but not looking a little further ahead. a) It's too early to say if they get a little run going from being high on confidence. b ) Their fixture pile up should affect them, but they have too many games in hand at this stage to be sure that will happen. c) Their newer pitch will ease the injuries and fatigue they would have got on their old one. Draw is best, suits neither of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why Wigan are so loathed; seems to be based on them having a shared inability to pronounce "Athletic" and having been monied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmr Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Mickey Quinn's testicles said: Money, a decent ground and success in recent years is why I don't like (not hate) them. I totally admit that is just down to jealously on my part (and the same goes for teams like Huddersfield when they have success) and I should be a bigger man but I imagine I'm not alone in that. Petty jealously and pride isn't unusual in football supporters and is actually part of what makes the game so interesting for me. I also doubt we were as well loved as some claimed when we were having success in the late 80s, early 90s. People might have made a public show of being complimentary about us but I imagine they had different thoughts in private.. I don't begrudge Burnley the success they've had, Swansea, Leicester, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Stoke etc etc etc have all been down here and I wouldn't think twice about supporting any of them as the underdog. Wigan to me is just a nothing club with no history, no fans and wouldn't have ever done anything other than drop out of the FL if it wasn't for daves bank account. Last night felt similar to watching MK cause an upset, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An indisputable fact.... and for which I congratulate them. However, we came f'kin close in '94 and were unlucky not to have had a crack in '90 too. I can say less about 1913..... but that's 3 times we've been close to a Cup Final. They've made the Semi's twice. 2. Since they've been in the Football League [1978], of the 39 seasons, we've averaged more fans than them on 21 occasions, to their 18. They've basically won every year from 2000, we won every one prior to that. They topped 19k the year they won the cup, we had 15k in our first season back in Div 1. They've stooped as low as 1,700 in 1995. The lowest we've seen is 4,300. I'd say it's pretty even over the course of time, they're just doing better than us right now because they've had a sugar daddy who's pumped a load of money in to get them there. Let's hope Mr. Lemsagam has a plan to get us competing again once more and we might see the fruits of that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't begrudge the genuine fans their moment of glory - but there's way's of celebrating your achievements. The way they ran over and goaded the City fans reminded me of when they beat us 3-1 at their place in the Dowie play-off season to pretty much guarantee we couldn't go up automatically and seemed more bothered about winding us up than celebrating the fact that they'd just won the title. Must be something in their fabric... Plus there's the whole "Latics" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
