Unbelievably depressed (7 Viewers)

[Fergusons_Beard]

Having watched a weekend of FA cup upsets and seen for first hand the events on Saturday at Northampton (which illuminated both on and off and on and off the pitch...)

Watched Wycombe nearly beat Spurs.

I have never been so depressed as a City fan-especially now Sky are televising the semi.

Instead of what I think will happen (i.e.-protests that disrupt and spoil a game of football; and getting hammered by a team a division below us who play passionate, attractive football led by a manager who clearly knows what he's doing)

Can God for once take pity on the miserable suffering we have had to endure and make sure we get to Wembley.

Realistic it's the only thing that'll stop a few thousand Cov fans from committing mass hair kari as a protest at the last home game......

saw the title and thought this thread was gonna be about Geoff Foster's commentary

Sorry but Wembley would be a day out, it wouldn't distract from our dire situation. I just can't get excited about it at all.

 

[Up the Butts]

I'm that fed up i'm not sure I want us to get to Wembley. I'm concerned it will tar the one previous success we've had, if we ever make it back it should at least be for a play-off final after a decent years football. An important game there, we'd take 50'000, for this? what is the point? Nobody gives a fuck.

Actually, we do give a fuck, for many, they have not seen this, my 24 year old cannot wait for this game, he appreciates how bad we are right now and the rubbish I have dragged him too for 21 years but don't deprive many of a day out.

Ask yourself this for all who dont want Wembley.
Did you start supporting the club and attending games to have nice/shit owners or did you go for the buzz of a good game or the chance of success (At whatever level you are at)

Personally. I have never liked any of our owners, they have all been in it for themself.

I really want to get to Wembley (as it will mean we have won the Wycombe tie - and I dread the reaction in the ground if we go out). That said, I would then dread the potential performance/result if we were to play e.g.Oxford in the final - it could be embarrassing. At least we would take more fans than them and show what could be with investment. Let's get Feb 4th and 7th out of the way. first.

 

[no_loyalty]

Was buzzing (cue wasp jokes) last week looking forward to the weekend and then the scramble for semi final tickets, now reality has hit home and the depression of being a City fan has returned

 

[Otis]

I certainly do give a fook!!

I am very excited about it. Many others are too. Let's see what the crowd is against Wycombe! See how many of them don't give a fook.
And then of course you contradict yourself by saying no-one gives a fook but 50,000 would go to Wembley.

If no-one cares we would only get about 5,000 for Wycombe and only about 15,000 tops would be interested in going to Wembley.

There's a few people saying nobody gives a fook. In reality they mean that THEY don't give a fook.

Fine if it doesn't appeal to you, but I like thousands and thousands of others will go to the Wycombe game and would love to go to Wembley.

 

[Gosford Green]

I'd take swapping the 7 cup wins for 7 league wins as it'd stave off relegation for 12 months.

You'd rather we just go down and never see Wembley again?

 

[Otis]

Yup. Don't get the concept of accepting we are going down, but then not putting any importance of getting to a Wembley cup final.

The lower we drop the more distant the dream becomes.

Until of course we get to play in the tinpot FA Trophy upon entering non-league.

 

[clint van damme]

In among all the talk of smoke bombs and pitch invasions it's seems to have been forgotten that there was another outrage took place at Sixfields Saturday and that was the performance of the team.
I honestly don't see us picking up another point this season or progressing in the Checkatrade. The worse performance I have witnessed personally from a professional side.
They should all hang their heads in shame.

Be different though if we had something to play for.

 

[sky_blue_up_north]

Worst season I can ever remember in 50 years plus. The players are awful. The standard of 'football' is shocking. No doubt we are heading out of the football league in 18 months time. As far a Wembley goes it might be the last chance for us to have a day in the sun. As my 10 year Grandson, says, 'Its Wembley, I don't care if we lose, but to see us at Wembley would be brilliant' At least gives all the fans who missed '87 a final chance to say farewell to a once great club.

Totally agree Clint. The protests have masked another pathetic performance quite successfully actually.

The players are not good enough, and they are putting up zero fight as well. I would rather some of us had a go and at least gave some blood, sweat, and tears, than continue seeing us go down without as much as a whimper.

that's the worse part, they don't look interested.

 

[6 Generations]

It could be argued that if permitted 11 hardy lads from the terraces would show more passion and desire.

Their skill levels may be of less quality but I bloody well doubt it.

 

[stevefloyd]

Would love us to get to Wembley but only if we can compete, I don't want the embarrassment of actually getting 50,000 of our fans there only to witness a slaughter...IF there is a god PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us some feckin hope from somewhere.
If and hopefully when we get there, will we even have a striker who can actually play and not the fucking clown Tudgay he is a monumental abysmal player who if he scores a hat trick this Saturday he will 100% get checked by the doping board

It's Wembley but not the same as "87"

Thing is though, while I agree, that was so long ago now that it is all going to feel a bit fresh and new.

I don't think I will ever forget that feeling of winning the cup, but time fades things a little and if there were 40,000 City fans there at Wembley the fantastic atmosphere would really make it exciting all over again.

 

[pusbccfc]

I would take a trip to Wembley over staying up.

All my life I've dreamt of walking down Wembley way with 40,000 City fans.

I'm hoping people turn up for the semi. Imagine a night like the Gillingham game. Surely people want that experience again.

 

[skybluesam66]

in 87 I cared about the result
this year it would be just a day out

we wouldnt be the lowest placed team to win it
When luton went out of the football league and finished bottom of league 2 - they won the trophy (albeit with a 30 point deduction)

Until the FL/FA ban Coventry fans from attending the final due to all the pitch invasions and trouble we're causing! :angelic:

Yes and that's why I am a Bradford/Oxford/Luton/Yeovil fan.*

Sorry, just don't understand why anyone is excited. Look at the state we're in - how can you forget about that and celebrate our performance in a joke competition? It's a bit like the Titanic sinking and the survivors congratulating each other on how fetching the lifebelts look despite the moonless night.....

Do they play attractive football (genuine question)? I didn't catch the Spurs v Wycombe game nor did I travel to Adams Park this season due to work commitments, but a friend from work is a Wycombe fan and says they play dire, hoofball route one football. Not pretty, but they're very effective at it.

Wembley can wait
I'm not going to give a single penny to prolong this misery

we had a different manager then

Team full of big units that our players will just bounce off.

Absolutely. I don't fancy our chances, just was described to hear them as an attractive side.

 

[trevelfarandwide]

This is the division amongst us, you see - it's a definite divide of those who yearn for one last hurrah, and those who can't see it happening at all. Hope Vs Reality.

As much as Wembley and a trophy would be tremendous, I cannot set myself up for more disappointment. I've had a guts-full of disappointment with this club.

 

[clint van damme]

just want a day out at Wembley watching City with my son. Don't care what competition, just like us to share that day.

 

[Otis]

That Wycombe team looked like a bunch of bodybuilders.

I would therefore go for DKE, Harries, Haynes, Lameiras, Thomas and Maycock.

Fight fire with fire.

 

[Moff]

If we won against Wycombe, and then packed out Wembley, it may show anyone mad enough to have an interest in the club, that we are actually worth saving/investing in, as with a sniff of success we have a potential fan base worth working on.
