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 I have demnstrated in some links from both sides of the Atlantic that he had a six month loan starting August so February is due date.. 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.
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.
Bold my additions
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 ?
