Man, his bespoke FM databases must be legendary. Edit : I bet he's also uniquely watermarking the gently caress out his printouts from now on to find the idiot who threw theirs in the bin.

Edit: Don't want to get drawn into a slapfight it just seems to me people who criticise the poznan don't have much experience watching games live. It may look goofy but it's simply a bit of fun to take part in and it rightly gets used back to us by opposing fans taking the piss when we concede or by Sunderland fans against United at the end of last season, when it even melted Brap's stony heart. Don't know why TGF doesn't like it. Butterfly Valley fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Dec 18, 2012 |

  EDIT: I didn't realize Domenech came out with his memoirs. Of course he looks very punchable on the cover. http://frenchfootballweekly.com/2012/11/21/now-will-everybody-love-raymond/  Some juicier excerpts are below. Click for big:  And he probably has a good point, but it'll get balanced by not wanting to take any blame: quote:For Domenech, this system where “the reward comes before the progress and the recognition” has contributed to the “generation gap”, which became bigger between 2006 and 2008. On the subject of the new generation, he is highly critical: “The way that the older players used to serve as mentors, their importance as role models, the values that they were able to represent, that has been destroyed”. With time, the 1998 World champions and 2000 European champions have become, “for the younger players, just boring old people”. Lilian Thuram got expressed his upset about this to Domenech during Euro 2008. Choosing not to take part in the final group match against Italy, he told him: “this team has some little shits, coach, listen up, some little shits”. In telling us in the book’s epilogue that “Samir Nasri symbolises the fall of these players, who only think about themselves”, Domenech tells us where we should be looking.

Butterfly Valley posted:Rather coins than literal human poo poo. I didn't mind it at first, it began as something the we did at away games for a few weeks after the original Poznan game, and it was also kinda cool at the FA Cup semi because of the sheer scale of it, but towards the end of its life span at City it just became a bit cringey to me and sort of emobodied the 'forced fun' and 'wackyness' of some of our new supporters (not aiming that at you). City fans have always done all sorts of stupid poo poo spontaneously over the years, and when the Poznan was that, it was fine, but I just think it got ran into the ground and towards the end I thought it was really crappy and almost forced upon us by the club itself, it became less of an ironic thing that we did after massively mocking it, and just became 'that thing City fans always do AFTER EVERY loving GOAL THEY SCORE', it was no longer spontaneous and instead was just boring and predictable. I'm personally glad its gone and waiting for the next fad, whatever it may be...I fear its going to be the continued growth of that loving yaya/kolo song though which was fine in pubs on away days, and on trains and coaches etc, but 48,000 doing it at Eastlands? Uch, please no. Edit: My current favourite City 'thing' is ironically singing the old 'We never win at home, and we never win away' song from the Division 2 times, kind of keeps the past in mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9odscgk88yA. So essentially, more singing, less Poznan-ing please. TheGoatFeeder fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Dec 18, 2012 |

Vegetable posted:That sounds like an awesome memoir that'll actually be worth the money. The drama of the French squad was always a big interesting mystery considering how many good players they had. Also it appears everybody in that squad is a big sulk. I can't imagine not being respectful to Thuram but I really like that guy, so who knows.

That team was such a clusterfuck and anyone could see that 14 primma donnas on the same team all wanting to be the star was going to backfire. Their starting 11 were the #1 cunts of their club teams.

Thank you TRP, Domenech autobiography for Dad on Christmas. @TheGoatFeeder: I watched '50 Greatest Premier League Moments' on iPlayer last night, and number 13ish was when City got relegated, and it was apparently because Alan Ball (the tracksuited, flat cap wearing City gaffer) [or maybe someone in the crowd on a radio because mobile phones had not been invented in 2001 according to this 'documentary'] thought a 2-2 draw was good enough to keep them up so they time wasted for the final 10 minutes of a game, keeping possession by the corner flag, passing around etc, only to discover that, with 1 minute remaining, they needed a win. Which they didn't get. Is this actually true?

Xeno posted:Thank you TRP, Domenech autobiography for Dad on Christmas. Well, I watched the same thing and the relegation occurred in 96, not 2001. It's true though, and hilarious at that. Although it lead to my teams heartbreaking defeat to City in the 99' playoff final after they got relegated once again to the glory of division 2.

It's like his career started in reverse and then righted itself. Age 11, score, and lift a trophy at Wembley, age 21 work in a factory while trying to scrape a living playing football, age 31 Premier League striker.

Xeno posted:Thank you TRP, Domenech autobiography for Dad on Christmas. Yes, that is entirely and totally true. Pretty much everyone in Maine Road knew a point wasn't enough except for that oval office Ball and his coaching staff. It was one of the most heartbreaking days of my life, but looking back on it, it was so typically City it does kind of amuse me by this point, that was and probably always will be the type of stupid poo poo that we do and get involved in. It's just never simple with City, '99 play off final was probably the biggest game in the clubs history in that if we didn't win we'd probably have ceased to have existed because of awful finances, and we were 2-0 down entering injury time and scored twice to take it to extra time, in order to ultimately win on pens. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSHeMJu5yR4 quite simple one of the best footballing moments, sorry Gillingham dude, can't imagine that pain  )The FA Cup in 2010 required replays against 2 teams from lower leagues on our route to the final, and obviously as we all remember we required 2 goals in injury time against a poo poo team to win the league. City do and will always do stupid poo poo, some will end well, and some will end horrifically, like that Liverpool relegation game.

Hoops posted:Can't hold on to that "typical City" idea, that club's gone. I understand the nostalgia for being the heartwarming, bashful underdogs but when you're paying players 200 thousand pounds a week you can't really have the "what are we like eh?" thing anymore. I wish it had gone, but i'd say the fiasco we nearly made of the QPR game was pretty typical of City over the years. I don't claim we are plucky under dogs anymore, and i'm pleased about that, because we used to be liked by neutrals and noone ever liked a team that was successful, we still do make things far more difficult for ourselves than they should be though and it's showing no sign of disappearing yet. I will never forget where we were though, because it makes all this even more enjoyable, not that we have fought for it through blood, sweat and tears, obviously its purely down to trucks and trucks of cash, im not some idiot that thinks we'd have got to this point without disgusting amounts of spending.

Every time I see this shirt in the crowd it brings back terrible memories  Thankfully we put it right the following season, but it's by far the most painful football experience, although the city fans we saw outside the stadium immediately after were ace.
