Your support is not that great
Not doubting you at all but all the twattery that I saw personally on that day seemed to be instigated by Brighton eejits.

You do realise that it is only ourselves in our blue and white tinted spectacles who fail to see Brighton for what we really are - dirty, dirty b'stards?
I seem to recall Das Reich mentioning he was at the game. He doesn't normally go to watch football, so perhaps one and one may add up to two

As a Manure plastic, he attended to pinch the scarves from Citeh kids and women.

Dunk and Duffy etc. not backward in challenges but otherwise otherwise have never clogged our way to victory in any game I have watched at the Amex.
As has been mentioned previously they don't expect to be beaten so they start making excuses.
I don't think we will win by the way, but neither do I expect a thrashing.

Ah, those blue and white tinted spectacles
Maybe, Harry, but we have beaten them 6 times, and drawn 4.

A lot of them seem to think we're decent
And vice versa
On our Big Day Out At Wembley, just about every Man City fan I chatted to was a longtime proper supporter with exactly the same level of expectation they presumably always had in pre-Citeh days. Their favourite saying? 'Same Old City' like they were still expecting things to go tits-up on the pitch at any moment, like in ye olden days. Top people! Reckon it'll be exactly the same for longtime Newcastle fans for the foreseeable

I wonder if they realise that they are the only ones (as far as I know) who have accused us of being a dirty team? Must just be sour grapes, shirley?

Quite possibly there was some.
My comments only relate to the arrogant twatty comments that a number of city fans wanted to make in the direction of my son.

Remember Laporte injuring himself for the entire 19/20 season after a cynical foul on Adam Webster as he was making a break into their half in the away game that season? They probably still blame us for that, even though the ref booked Laporte as he was being stretchered off the pitch!

Always found them a bunch of absolute pricks, to be honest.

Dirty team? surprising what a different perspective you get watching the game on TV rather than being in the ground.
Got to be a Phd thesis in how different groups of people perceive the same events differently. I was at the City game and don't recall any dirtiness/thuggery (or no more than usually happens in any PL match). Anyway hope we beat them again to give them some more to cry about.
Yep, same here.................

"Last years game was one of the most corrupt i have seen, and i think it was after we won the PL so i can only think of gambling/betting"

I really don't understand the implication that we were really dirty in that game? It was nothing out of the ordinary that's for sure... perhaps they aren't used to seeing their players actually get tackled?

All of the top six forums seem to share a paranoia about officials conspiring against them, but City appear to be the most tin foil hatted. I suppose its a combination of always expecting to win and needing a narrative when they don't, and an over-reaction to the real battles that the club had with Uefa over their shoddy financial reporting. The story became 'Every big team does it. Uefa only picked on us because we're the new money', rather than the truth, which was 'Every big team does it. Uefa picked on us, because we got caught.' Once there is a sense of 'everyone's against us' it's not too much of a step to start believing that administrators and officials are conspiring against you. If the UK ones are, they're doing a pretty rubbish job of it, given that over the last four years, City have won ten of the sixteen domestic titles available to them.
Their fans came out with all of this Infowars garbage after the game. There were a couple of contentious decisions that went our way, the sending off of Cancello and the booking of AJ. Us home fans being in the stadium for the first time in ages may have helped sway the ref. I hope so, that's certainly why we were all shouting, but a section of City's TV watching audience turned that into 'They kicked us off the park' (13 fouls to their 11), how could they win when the officials were corrupt? (Only we got a booking for time wasting, despite them doing far more of it before our winning goal, the sending off didn't stop them going 2-0 up and it wasn't the ref who passed the ball to Leandro under no pressure) and Brighton players were overly fired up for a dead rubber (It may have been a dead rubber to you lads, but our lot were playing in front of fans for the first time that year and didn't have one eye on a Champions League final).
Our players turned that game in the last forty minutes with the help of the atmosphere made by the crowd. That was the view of all disinterested reporting at the time. None of us turned to conspiracy theory and ill founded accusations of physicality in response to any of the several times when they stuffed us. We're all biased in football, but occasionally you have to accept the cliche that your team lost because the opposition wanted it more. For City fans, this was one of those occasions and to still be in denial of it months later just seems a bit out of touch with reality.
