Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

Delph is apparently going to be their first big signing :lol:

I actually reckon Delph is going to be good for them in the same way Blind has been good for us. I just have a hunch he's one of those players who will... not make a step up, exactly, but be revealed to have been a step better than people thought all along. He has the potential to do Fernandinho's job better than Fernandinho does. His attitude and work rate, if nothing else, are a big step up on any of City's current central midfielders.

Still not a 'big' signing though.

Just read that then :lol: some people can be so sensitive. I call the guy a bit of a muppet and apparently I'm being sycophantic. No, it's just if you post a shitty youtube video and some cryptic statement alleging to have inside information at the club, the natural conclusion I'm going to make is you're a bit of a needy twat.

It's okay Bobby, they're just annoyed that you talk sense.
 
It's a surreal place, that Bluemoon. Even threads that have nothing to do with United seem to descend into "fecking rag cnuts" "Old Toilet" "The Swamp" remarks. I was having a quick browse yesterday at their general football chatter. In one thread, some goober was talking about how much he disliked Billy Bremner as a player, but had to keep using "the rags" as a barometer for his dislike, just to make it clear that's how much he disliked Billy Bremner, and as a reminder to everyone he doesn't like United either, incase anyone did start to believe that his dislike for United was starting to subside.

It trumps RAWK a thousand times over in terms of unfathomable bitterness, and also complete illiteracy. It reads like they are just hitting their keyboards with their own face whilst repeatedly slobbering "RAGS!" in a dribbling rage.

Waste of bandwidth.
 
Oh Bluemoon, please make your page containing 20 posts at least. very annoying whenever I bother to look at that forum to constantly having to click turn the page
 
It's how I imagine Redcafe if it didn't have any mods or a newbie filtering system, except a lot worse. I don't think I've ever seen an intelligent poster on that site.
 
I've always said that it is a worse place than RAWK. At least with RAWK it is just delusion. When it comes to Bluemoon, it is full of irrational hate and every other word amongst the average posts seems to be "rag" or "swamp". The hate they have for United is absolutely unreal on there, probably 90% of the forum is just dedicated to hating on United

I think they want to hate United more than support their own team.

Their more obsessed with United than any other team is about their rival.
 
Possibly the most unrequited rivalry in English football. I'd predict most United fans don't give much of a stuff about City. They're probably just mad that they're not as significant to us as Liverpool are. Even Leeds United are probably hated more by United fans, and Leeds have been a complete non-entity for over a decade now.

I find this comment generally comes from United fans who haven't spent a great deal of time in Manchester (you may or may not have), there is definitely a lot of football hatred in the local areas which aren't always seen unless witnessed first hand. That said, most blues are generally just chuffed to be where we and still have to pinch ourselves that we've taken 2 titles in the past 4 years - to even be chasing the same players as Barcelona is just ridiculous for us - shifting mentality is hard.

As for Bluemoon, I find it's mixed depending what you're looking for - you have the threads that get very high post count that take up the majority of day to day posts/chatter and drift off topic a lot and tend not to add much value for quick updates, and then some really good debates around FFP, ongoings in the club and the surrounding areas which can be a joy to read. Same as any forum really.

Having lived in Manchester, it is very clear the hatred is pretty much one sided though. I use to do a lot of work with the City and borough Councils, GMP and other non-commercial organizations in Greater Manchester. Even on topics affecting the whole of Greater Manchester there was an imbalance from many Councillors and senior police officers about OT and its neighborhood. When talking about football matches in general, safety and timings if there had not been impartial attendees United would have been well shafted. Most of the Trafford Councillors were openly City fans and looked to give City some advantage over United in GM discussions.

I doubt it to be honest, they'll get Sterling no doubt but will pay crazy money for him, Pogba isn't joining,
De Bruyne I would doubt too, who really is there that they could get will really improve them, Delph, Fabhino, Hamsik etc certainly won't.

De Bruyne won't be leaving. Allofs said he's not going anywhere and he's as straight as they come.
 
Am i right in thinking there are members that spend their time on other forums just to find a post they can take back and ridicule? That, to me sounds as petty as what we accuse them of, no?

I have more posts over there as it goes, since around 2008 - but I've racked up 800+ since 2013 here so I'm not doing bad. Granted the majority of them were in the FFP thread over a year ago now. I just really enjoy discussing football, and there's only so much time you can spend in one place.

Funnily enough I initially joined to correct a Chelsea fan on some misguided comments he was making about City and FFP, only then did I realise new joiners are cast in to a trial run pit far out of site - it's hard to reason with people down there so you spend a bit of time arguing and those who argue well seem to make it up here.

It's like the mocking is behind their backs, the whole world including Bluemoon can see it in daylight and of course they can countermock, don't think it's petty at all

I grew up and lived in Manchester until high school, when I moved to West Yorkshire with my parents, but most of my family are Manchester based and Manchester born, so I was there a lot after that. I've always thought the hatred was a little one sided. Especially growing up there in the early 90s, the hatred from United fans seemed to be focused on Liverpool and Leeds United, even at my school, where reds and blues seemed to be a 60/40 split in Uniteds favour. When I moved to Yorkshire and went to a school where Leeds United fans were the majority, there was definitely a shift in hatred. To me it seemed like Leeds fans hated us more than City fans did at that time, and that was probably reciprocated. Leeds were closer to being a threat on the pitch as well.

Now I live 300+ miles north, so I don't know what the tension is like between the two sets of supporters, and I don't know if it has shifted since City's takeover and recent successes. I'd still predict United fans have more animosity towards Liverpool though. A lot of fans here wanted City to win the title, when it looked like Liverpool had all but sealed it. I can't see that situation ever being reversed.

Generally, yeah. I've lived in Manchester for 8 years and although I've come to dislike them a lot more since they have become genuine rivals, I was pretty pleased that they beat Liverpool to the title the season before last.
 
Just had a quick look on their site to see what the fuss was about, and by god they are some horrible, horrible cretins on that site.

Was it against Utd live on TV where they lost and decided to take it out on a couple of East Asian fans who were repeatedly caught by the cameras sitting in the front row somewhere near the half line without the uniform City scowl of year on year bitterness? I think they secretly miss those years and they don't know where to put themselves half the time and in part it explains their terrible terrible home game turnout rate.

Yep, that'll always be the case for me. To be honest I don't feel much of anything about City in their current incarnation. They've got nothing whatsoever to do with the Blues that I remember most of my extended family supporting back when I was very young in Manchester, the team who I grew up thinking of as 'the enemy'. They're just a bunch of foreign stars who rocked up all of a sudden back in 2010 and 2011, employed by a handful of disinterested Emirates zillionaires. It probably makes a difference that there are basically no City fans around where I live any more, but in my mind this big hollow 'project' just has so little to do with our historic rivals.

So yeah, I would always rather see City winning trophies than Liverpool, and I would always choose to beat Liverpool and lose to City rather than vice versa.
 
Just had a look at their 'Classic Vids/Games' thread.

heh.
 
Just a moment ago he was 'vastly underrated' and 'exactly what we need' and now 'thank God we are not signing him' or 'how do you know we were interested in him?'.

Txiki is a cnut, accept it or not.
Click to expand...

They are all pissed with Txiki cause they aren't signing anyone :lol:

it's not the fact he isn't joining, but the fact we got turned down by Delph (who really cares, he's nothing special) when the deal was practically done. That's shambolic and 3 years worth of banter for others.
Click to expand...
I never really rated this guy as more than a useful squad addition but for £8m and given he's HG probably well worth a punt.

The problem is I think the penny has dropped with Delph that's exactly how the club also viewed him.

I'm a bit pissed off but at least it's £8m more to play with for the other, major targets.

At least they can sign other major players now they have saved 8mil :lol:

It's perfect! They had that £62m all ready to go and get Pogba, but they just couldn't think where to find the last 8m...

I love that they think anyone cared enough about the prospect of them signing Delph to take the piss now. Don't worry lads, you're safe on that front.
 
Lets hijack the Schneiderlin deal to save some face haha

Haha that is hilarious. We couldn't tempt Steve Bruce into Greggs this summer

And the fact that this nonsense is self perpetuating. Delph, like Milner, is a gutless fecking cnut as far as I'm concerned, but the media will now go all out to scare all English players into not signing for us. I'm fecking sick to my stomach, not because some two bit non-entity from Aston Villa has bottled coming to us, but because those lying cnuts in the press can smear us like this
