Cage fights not for me either, too much grappling and sweating, too much like foreplay. Perhaps a good old fashioned pissing contest? Crumpet munching Limey vs Gun toting 'Murican. I'll have you know I'm undefeated however.

Yeah, having read your 'contributions' I don't think I'll lose much sleep after your critique of mine. Thanks.

Yeah, I didn't read much worth taking note of. A lot of bitching and some wishful lusting after other players. That and you describing yourself as a "consumer" and the club as a "product", and that if they don't meet your expectations then you'll say so. Kinda my point about a lack of...

Not to bang this drum again, but notice how crucial Lampard says Ferran Soriano and Brian Marwood were in selling NYCFC to him when they met - MCFC's CEO and CFA respectively. MCFC are playing a huge part in building NYCFC.

It only "sucks" because people like you are dwelling on it. It seems the people who are placing this under a microscope are the same people who are skeptical about Lampard's merits as a footballer, and in lieu of being able to muster a reasonable argument in respect of football, this overblown...

I didn't generalise. I made a point of saying "some", I repeat, "some". How could you miss this? I know that not everyone is expressing negativity about the signing, but my comment wasn't aimed at them, and I though that was pretty clear.

I'm absolutely staggered by the sheer sense of entitlement among some people here. You've just signed one of the most high profile footballers in Premier League history. He might be 36, but he still plays to a high enough standard that he earned himself a spot in the England squad for the...

Interesting to hear it from a first hand perspective, thanks for that mate. Do you think football will continue to grow in the US, or will it still be misunderstood and not taken as seriously as the likes of Baseball, the NFL and NBA? During the BBC's coverage of the World Cup, they made a...

Good to hear mate. How's things looking for NYCFC in the US anyway? Are you a New Yorker? If so, what's the mood like in respect of the city having a new football club? Exciting times?

What? What make you think I don't know most supporters of NYCFC have another club, what makes you think I'm against it, let alone care? I've never expressed sentiment of the sort. Did you actually read my comment? I don't see how you could respond to me in the fashion you just have after...

I've been away for a while, but after some reading I've gathered that the divisions are still there. That's unfortunate, and disappointing. I've noticed that there has been talk of agendas, and I found it interesting to observe that not being negative or critical of MCFC is considered an...

I'll reiterate, and I believe I speak for MCFC's core support when I say this: I don't have a bad word to say about NYC, or NYCFC. I want you guys to have your own identity, to develop your own culture. I'm relatively indifferent to NYCFC, my priorirty is MCFC. I'd imagine you feel the same...

What are you trying to imply here? Post Villa? Are you suggesting that City fans posting on here are here for some perceived glory? Would be ironic given you're the fan of a club which hasn't kicked a ball yet but has just signed one of the most high profile players in Europe - thanks to the...

I understand that people who are fans of other Premier League clubs will want to distance themselves from links to Manchester City, that's fine. NYCFC represent New York, not Manchester; but do not disparage Manchester City. Besides being formed by Manchester City, NYCFC have enjoyed, and will...

No mate, I follow where you're coming from, and I understand the Chivas angle as I've mentioned previously. All I'm saying is that anyone who holds a disdain for MCFC and seeks to disparage us, should be reminded by other NYCFC fans that without MCFC there wouldn't be a NYCFC. It's the anti...

I did say that I assumed you were a Liverpool or United fan, as many on this forum are, that would constitute gloryhunting. That was incorrect however, and was based upon your username. So I take that back, and I apologise. Likewise, the "people like you" comment was based upon the assumption...

That's a fair point, to an extent. Manchester City however, own an 80% stake of NYCFC - not ADUG. Good to hear someone at least has something positive to say about us though mate! However, I don't think it's particularly ungracious for me to say that NYCFC will benefit a lot from their link...

Good example right here. If you couldn't give a fuck about MCFC culture, then why would you decide to support a club which MCFC founded, a club which is modelling its core values on MCFC and shares its name? Could that be because you're in it for the glory? Hence why, I presume, given your...

I know that was a potentially provocative comment. But it's a fair point. If, as I said, someone has a dislike of MCFC due to allegiances to other Premier League clubs, then why would they support a club which shares MCFC's name and was founded by them? A club which aims to build core ties to...

First of all: Hello from Manchester! I've been reading this forum with interest recently, and can't help but notice there seems to be a bit of an identity crisis among many of the posters here, and how they interpret themselves as NYCFC fans. Where their true loyalties lie etc. An interesting...
