Insightful piece on Dortmund & Klopp

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Tom in posting an opinion shocker.

[Major Tom]

You asked for one, and you got one.

Indeed. Klopp would be foolish to go anywhere near Man City.

 

That's me told.

If you have any self awareness, you'll already be aware of your gutless e-character, FC

[Major Tom]

Middle of the night post and a little more heated than your normal style.

Work sometimes has me up.

 

Yeah, maybe more heated but weak characters do that to me!

[Jairzinho]

This has all the hallmarks of rivalling the great Xerxes/Ratcatcher fiscal wars.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I don't really see the objection to Fanch, here. Weak? What? It's a forum.

Are you suggesting I don't normally have one, NV?

 

I'm not often accused of that!

Nah. I've said enough already.

 

Although those fiscal wars sound riveting.

I don't really see the objection to Fanch, here. Weak? What? It's a forum.

On the other hand I can see plenty of objection to the pet name 'Fanch'.

 

Have you two ever stolen children together?

I must say, that's a new one on me.

 

What are your e-characteristics?

 

Sturdy keyboard, swift typing skills, don't get negged too often.

[Major Tom]

I must say, that's a new one on me.

 

What are your e-characteristics?.

I accept that some people have e-personas that don't reflect their actual characters. As lame as that concept is to me.

You mean you're really like this?

Like what? Opinionated? Yep, 'fraid so.

The view amongst many City fans (probably a slight majority) is either Klopp or Ancelotti is ok.

 

The Guardiola thing is causing a lot of anger amongst the fans (who are like most fans, clueless about what the actual strategy of their clubs is). The fear is that City are somehow 'waiting' for Guardiola, and that Txiki Begiristain and co have this 'Barca pipe dream', and that it's putting all eggs in one basket... and madness. I'm one of those that thinks it's madness if true, but doubt it's actually anywhere near as 'true' as people think.

 

Klopp is deemed to be 'exciting'. Someone with a bit of passion who might instil the same in the team.

 

Ancelotti is seen as an upgrade, even though he's another statesman like figure.

 

Klopp's the one getting imaginations running. No bad thing. But we're a fickle lot, as are all fans really. If you'd asked a City fan in Jan (same points as Chelsea), most would have stuck with Pellegrini. 3 months later, he's toast. 

 

And what of Benitez, should none of those get it for whatever reason? Does he even get in the conversation? As City would appeal to him on a few levels, I would imagine.

Such a paradox... strong character unable to control himself because of a weak character.

Not really thought it through very well have you?

[Tony Moanero]

Fanchester is a decent poster on here, but Mancherster City and its supporters in general fucking bore me, always have, always will.

 

Sorry state of affairs when City fans think they're too good for a manager of Rafa's ilk.

 

Fuck them.

[FanchesterCity]

And what of Benitez, should none of those get it for whatever reason? Does he even get in the conversation? As City would appeal to him on a few levels, I would imagine. 

 

Truth? for whatever reason (daft ones in my view) Benitez is pretty low down in the popularity stakes.

He's not actively disliked (as per Chelsea fans), I just think people have succumbed to the 'so so' view. I'm not saying it's a justified view, far from it, but for whatever reason, people think Klopp is 'exciting' and Benitez isn't.

 

It's madness I know. Fans will say they want a manager with a track record, Then when Ancelotti is mentioned, someone will say he's too old.

They then want a young vibrant guy, but then he's won nothing.

 

I obviously can't speak for all, as you'll get as many City views as you would Liverpool views on here, but overall, from the Bluemoon vibes, I'd say Benitez would be seen as a slight improvement. Most are not keen on this 'waiting for Pep' debacle either. Klopp seems to be the most popular choice. Guardiola's not really being considered as nobody believes his is coming (spare a few nutters).

I'm not sure I said I was strong anywhere, FC. Just that you're a gutless poster. Which you are.

[Total Longo]

Not sure what makes FC "gutless", Tom.

I'd say being a City fan and regularly posting on a Liverpool forum takes a certain amount of guts in itself.

[Major Tom]

Not sure what makes FC "gutless", Tom.

 

Quite a few things in my book, TL. He's not the only gutless poster on here by any stretch; but he's the worst. In my view anyway. I'm sure he - and others - may disagree, though.

[FanchesterCity]

I can't really take anybody seriously who is judging someone's guts from a football forum on the internet. To be forming a mental league table of 'gutless posters' would be laughable if it weren't quite so pitiful.

 

Still, I'll wear my medal with pride, just for you. It's the only thing I'm winning this season!

[Tony Moanero]

You're both a pair of cunts.

[FanchesterCity]

You're both a pair of cunts.

 

Am I a pair of cunts, and he's a pair of cunts, or do we combine to form a pair of cunts?

Your post was a little ambiguous, and your opinion matters to me!

[Major Tom]

I can't really take anybody seriously who is judging someone's guts from a football forum on the internet.

 

I'm not. I have no idea what you're like as a bloke; in fact I'm sure you're just ace with a force of personality like no other. I am merely judging you as a poster on the particular site, which I have kind of made clear from the beginning, when I started hurling my names.

 

But you did start it...

[Denny Crane]

You probably would not want/expect a Manchester City fan (guest) on a Liverpool forum to be argumentative would you?.

 

If most Liverpool fans who move away from the group-think are called Frode and presented as a fringe element, it makes sense that an outsider would be more constrained.

[Major Tom]

You probably would not want/expect a Manchester City fan (guest) on a Liverpool forum to be argumentative would you?.

 

I would. What's the point of having a poster that you make pussy foot around cos you can't handle his genuine opinions? Then he does pussyfoot around paying you hollow and patronising platitudes.

 

That's entirely different to intentionally winding people up, Frod. Which is your MO.
