Hampshire Red Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's fascinating to understand how people can be so negative. The '' debacle of Shrews''. Did you go? "Crap football" Did you go to Wigan? Ditto. Did you go to Fulham Ditto. Did you go to Stoke Ditto. Did you go to Derby Etc. Etc. Etc Or do you never go to away games? Did you even go to home games, eg Huddersfield? Do you know its 40yrs since we last competed regularly at this level Did you watch our fantastic double season or was league 1 just too "crap" for you? Do you only watch football highlights on MoTD? Are you a City fan or maybe just a muddled, forum nuisance-maker? Would be interesting to know if you wake up able to post again today. Get to AG and support the same team as many of us reading this do. You will enjoy it, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s your point? An inconvenient statistic that is studiously overlooked by a very small minority of the fan base who think a patch of poor form is reason to sack a manager with the team sitting just outside the playoff zone. And to echo what others have been saying, I also will be there today. I’m a season ticket holder, a City fan since childhood and I attend games regardless of results or league position. It’s called being a supporter; it’s what I do. And clearly, from the responses on this thread, it’s what a lot of other people do as well. Good on you all.

We were awful to watch at Wigan? If you honestly thing think the football has been anything but poor this season ( bar the odd exception) you're kidding yourself.

reddogkev Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm sure you're probably end up going. I'll be there, especially trying to flog 1000 Bring Back Bobby t-shirts. Today will be a good game, as Barnsley will be well up for this one, and as a result, we'll have to raise our game. I don't see City definitely winning, but a 2-2 cracking game could be on the cards.

I have a very good grip on life. My choice is not to attend today. Amongst other things will spend time we two families who have lost loved ones recently. Football isn't everything babber.

No. I rarely watch MOTD Are you a City fan or maybe just a muddled, forum nuisance-maker? I'm very much a City fan. Definitely muddled when I'm pissed mind. A "forum nuisance-maker?", I try not to be but am happy to express my views. Would be interesting to know if you wake up able to post again today. Thankfully I did wake up today, albeit with a gert big hangover, and have plenty of time -for a change- to reply to your numerous questions Get to AG and support the same team as many of us reading this do. You will enjoy it, really. I haven't changed my mind and will give it a miss today. I really hope City win and will follow every second on the radio.

I'm not going tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I love City and all that goes with it, and I'll be glued to Radio Bristol to follow the game. I really hope we win. But.....I don't want to watch crap football. Barnsley, have 8 points from their last 5 league games, we've got 6. So not sure if league position means that much. Are we expecting a win, probably but it might not happen. Still hurting from the Shrewsbury debacle. Can't take anymore failure close up. Negative I know, but just how I feel. No problem with that mate. I'm staying at home too. Nipper struggles with the cold so convinced him it was best to stay. Will put the hifi on and look forward to a Ruby later.
