Cringe worthy stuff, especially as its on their offical site.... http://mcfc.co.uk/News/FA-Cup-countdown/2011/May/Bluffers-guide-to-City
Champions League qualification and the FA Cup Final will mean hundreds of thousands of people will adopt the Blues as their chosen side and with that in mind, here is a guide to help ‘newbies’ bluff your way through the televised games, with your mates down at the pub or actually at a game WTF
Shouldn't this be in the "Something to make you laugh" thread. have a good scan over the club website and check out who the current favourites are and who the club legends are and take notes Hilarious stuff!
Time was that Manchester City fans would rail against the 'plastics' that supported the chaps across town, the Johnny-Come-Latelys from Surrey that mysteriously only started following United around 1993. The glory hunters. Now something approaching glory is on the cards for City and suddenly their tune has changed. Published on their official website on Wednesday afternoon was the 'bluffer's guide' to City, for all the trophy-chasers that might have noticed they exist since their acquisition of Scrooge McDuck's cash reserves. The guide begins: 'Success means we'll be welcoming a new generation of City fans from here in England and all over the globe, too, and when our new followers come on board, they'll be welcomed with open arms into our 'family'.' Here are our favourite bits from this plastics charter * 'Loyalty, commitment, passion and, during the darker times, a sense of humour has been needed over the years to follow the Blues - that's what we affectionately call City...' * 'If asked where we play our football, it's the City of Manchester Stadium - also nicknamed Eastlands due to the area of Manchester it is in. It's worth noting that from 1923 to 2003 we played our home games at Maine Road.' * 'If you are asked who your favourite players are from down the years - your credibility is at stake here - don't say Francis Bell, Colin Summerbee and Yaya Dzeko. Though these names exists, they are combinations.' * 'And, if we score against Stoke and some more experienced Blues (ahem!) around you ask you to join in a 'Poznan'...it's called The Poznan because City played a team called Lech Poznan earlier this season and their fans did the same dance - we just named it in their honour!' (Note to any 'new' City fans - it's not just coincidentally the same dance, City nicked it - MW) * 'There may be the odd person who tries to trip you up with the terms 'massive' or 'Man City' - please ignore these are we are now accepting these words in general club usage!' Terrific stuff. We'll leave the last word to a website that Mediawatch usually can't stand but made us laugh on this occasion: The ************** [F@CES EDIT: HORRIBLE BUNCH]: 'I swear to God, if Manchester City didn't exist, we'd make them up for a laugh.' http://www.football365.com/mediawatch/0,17033,8749_6928552,00.html
Am I the only one that every time I see that Poznan thing wonders why on earth you would go to a match and then spend large portions of it with your back to the pitch looking at some other twat jumping up and down like skippy on a space hopper behind you??? Erm....thought the whole point in going to a game was to watch your team play
After reading that I have new found respect for chavs supporters.Ah no.The are both as bad as each other.Bring on the plastic flag waving next season.God.I hope they don't qualify for the group stages.
Brilliant: We should do one for newbie Liverpool fans. Anyone feel inspired. Methinks this is a job for F@ces-Do it man. Arent they a joke all the same though.
