City Football Group

Actually you don't. I'd say Mr.ceE :D more likely to pass as a New York fan compared to some of the other posters on there.
 
Bi who gives you the right to pick who or who is not an NYCFC fan. Two words arrogant and clueless. You should be a United fan if you aren't already. Most of the man city fans on here have already said Lampard should be back in time for the first game. What more do you want. You clearly just like a few other just don't like Man City for whatever reason.
 
Dan you're thinking one dimensionally. BxLio you have just proven my point above.
Wow so I hit you with logic and you say I'm thinking 1 dimensionally. Honestly you're trolling so hard right now because that's one of the dumbest possible comments I have ever laid eyes upon. Please and I beg you please show me what about my comment is illogical and not practical. Pleaseeeeeeee.
Our own fucking coaches said in the beginning his Loan shouldn't be extended and then reserved their comments when MP opened his trap and has continued to run it. So you can't fault the supporters of this team for sticking by what our staff wants and knows is right.
So it's not like we are going against our team. We're sticking by our team.

So what gives you the right to pick who shouldn't be a United fan? Your posts contradict themselves. Your affiliation to MCFC blinds you to the reality that Lampard staying past December could harm his success at NYCFC. Him being back in time for March isn't enough. He needs to be here to 1. Rest 2. Train 3. Play preseason. Just jumping on the pitch isn't enough. Especially coming off a rigorous EPL/UCL schedule with no rest. Also especially because MCFC can easily afford to replace him and hopefully will. Even if he comes back in March they still have to replace him for the end of the season. So you might as well do it in January and not for the last month of Premier League play.
Come on man. Please take off the blinders and see if from our side. When there's soooo many solutions but extending only benefits 1 team of course we don't agree with an extension.

Him being back in time for March isn't enough. He needs to be here to 1. Rest February 2. Train During January when NYCFC are in Manchester 3. Play preseason He doesnt need to play the "match fit" matches just the pre season tournament. Just jumping on the pitch isn't enough It will be when he dictates the game . Especially coming off a rigorous EPL/UCL schedule with no rest. Also especially because MCFC can easily afford to replace him and hopefully will. Even if he comes back in March they still have to replace him for the end of the season Why, Yaya will be back.. So you might as well do it in January and not for the last month of Premier League play. END OF JAN / BEGINNING OF FEB AS PLANNED.

The trouble here Dan, which will get worse before it gets better as the baby has not yet been born so most of its brothers have no interest yet so have not visited, is that the NYCFC fans have a one sided view.
I am not advocating keeping Lampard, and I understand that this is a NYCFC fan forum but

All NYCFC fans are supporting a team that has not yet been born. They have no idea what the babys form will be only hopes, fears, and maybe the odd scan to look at. The doctor (The press) has told them there might be some problems with the birth and they want someone to blame.

A small percentage of NYCFC fans are new to football, some may be new to MLS, some may have affiliation elsewhere.

Man City fans have affiliation elsewhere, but are related to the team, so are going to show a bloody great interest in the baby when it is born.

Some NYCFC fans, many with affiliation elsewhere, persist in attacking MCFC because we might be the relation causing the potential problem with the birth.

Whatever happens after the birth we will still be related though, and the anti Man City perspective this forum is currently allowing (almost encouraging) is lining up for a family feud at some point in the future.

Man City fans have an interest in supporting New York City Football Club as well. We are entitled to the same opinion as everyone else here whatever there previous alliance. The difference is we have not changed our alliance and are growing it.
Supporting (or following) a team in a foreign land is new to us, but we are not Johnny come latelys or trying to justify our New Club, we are here to support New York because it is our sister club.

It is like a "reserve team" (and I mean that as an analogy not literally). When New York City get going and there reserve team plays a game, then I imagine you guys as fans will watch for results, maybe go to odd games, but support them over whoever they are playing.
Well thats how we see NYCFC.
We have that right just as a NYCFC fan has the right to come to England, and go to Arsenal instead of City. To watch for Arsenals results, and to support Arsenal over whoever they are playing.

What no fan of New York has is the right to call us (as siblings) or City Football group as parents.

From our perspective it appears that is what is being allowed right now on this forum, but it is us that are getting fucked over for defending our interest.
Take a look at the Posts again, and tell me who were the first on the attack ?
 
On reading it again, I can see how you construe my comment as MCFC V NYCFC, however it was not written in the vein you read it.
I lost a great grandfather in that war, two days before my gran (who had a large part of bringing me up) was born, which virtually condemned her (& thousands of others) to harsh conditions, particularly in her early life.

My intention was not to bring up a AvB scenario, it was to say we shouldn't be arguing on Xmas day and such a poignant day in football. If you or anyone else reads any different I can honestly say that was not my intention.
My respects to you and yours.

MCFC is more like the annoying Mother in law, persisting in offering opinions that the parents don't want to hear.

No Tom we are the mother

When Ferran Soriano was appointed Manchester City CEO in August 2012, Don Garber reached out to him about a New York City team,[15] having previously held discussions with him in his former capacity as Vice President of Barcelona.[16] In December 2012, unnamed sources told the media that Manchester City were close to being announced as the new owners of the 20th team of Major League Soccer (MLS), and the brand name "New York City Football Club" was trademarked, although the club quickly denied the report.[17] However, Garber announced in March 2013 that he was almost ready to unveil the new expansion team.[18]

New York City Football Club, LLC was registered with the New York State Department on 7 May 2013,[19] and on 21 May New York City FC was officially announced as the 20th MLS franchise.[20]Linking the club to its English parent, the new MLS side hired as its first employee former Manchester City, MLS and US national team player Claudio Reyna to serve as Director of Football,[21] while a statement of intent was made with the signing of home-grown rising star manager and MLS Cup winner Jason Kreis to serve as the team's first Head Coach.[22]

If you dont like your mother its time to leave home
 
I love the possibilities, and know of the potential drawbacks (i.e The Lampard situation) check out my signature to see how much I like the set up.
 
Did they? The context of mentioning NYCFC is largely about our role as a PR move for the UAE.
Because above all, New York was a delicate exercise in international publicity for the small desert kingdom that is home to the club’s owner—shinier and more vibrant than anything the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority could cook up. Football, as always, was the delivery mechanism.
^This is the only paragraph I saw in an article that I think focused more on the origin story and its "characters", if you will.

I'm curious what the ramifications of treating fans purely as an audience are. In football, us fans are also characters, and very important ones at that.
