“City have got no history”

You have left out Sunderland from the list of trophy winning teams in the early days of football. They have won something like 10 trophies in their entire history and 7/8 were pre World War 1/Victorian Era.
Indeed.. didn't want to quote all and sundry etc.. Various teams have had their periods of dominance (some more sustained than others) during every period of English footy history.

However, I do find it interesting (sad git that I am) that the period between 1958-72 saw such a spread of success across clubs at the top of the English pile.. 11 different clubs took the title in that time (Wolves, Burnley, Spurs, Ipswich, Everton, the Scouse Filth, the Red Filth, us, Leeds, Arsenal and Derby) with no one team dominating. In addition there was the added variable that some were regarded by the press as your 'homespun' clubs (such as Burnley/Ipswich) while others were from 'big cities', often with big financial backers. This period may not have been blessed with 'football a la Pep' but it made for exciting times as a fan!
 
In February 1961 United lost 7-2 to Sheffield Wed at Old Trafford in a cup-tie.

How many rags know that? Keep reminding them.
Yes but it was only because of Munich. They were using that excuse into the mid-1960s.
 
So people say we have no history. Well we will just make our own history. For one 1st team to a hundred points and 100 goals. For the 2nd first team to win all domestic trophies in the same season.

Even some of the best managers in Britain haven't achieved this. Let's take a look at some of these managers, Sir Alex Ferguson, the late Bill Shankley and many more of Livarpool's managers didn't achieve these great feats.

So why let those fans bother you after all they are just jealous about who are manager is and what we have won. Plus all the other trophies were going to win.
