“City have no history”

[eastmanc]

yes it will have been in my writing but it’s the 1955 final. One of the directors was impressed with City’s fighting spirit despite being a man down for most of the game.

Pink final.

With the help of the media in some respects it’s rewriting history,City never won anything till sheikh Mansour took over or at least that’s what you sort of get now,but strangely the same media and idiots who spout this,mostly rag and red scousers have to go back years to talk about their history ..

Billy Meredith, Frank Swift, Bert Trautmann to name a few all played in the first half of City’s 129 year history. You look at Liverpool and all their wonderful history, every player they call a great comes from the 70s and 80s when they were being pumped full of Littlewoods pools money, they were nothing and an irrelevance before that.

Just before Liverpool went on their major two decade run of success from 1972 onwards, City and Liverpool had won exactly the same number of trophies:

City - 2 First Divisions, 4 FA Cups, 1 FL Cup, 1 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, 3 Charity Shields (11)
Liverpool - 7 First Divisions, 1 FA Cup, 3 Charity Shields (11).

There were four clubs (City, Liverpool, Newcastle and Wolves) who’d all won 11 trophies who were the joint 6th most successful clubs in England behind United, Arsenal, Everton, Villa and Spurs.

If City are a shit club with no history, what were Liverpool for the first 80 years of their existence? The reality is, City we’re up there with Liverpool throughout football history up to that point, both great clubs.

From the late 70s our fortunes split and we went on different paths but our paths have reconvened since. With City having our own decade of success, reaching the levels and even overtaking things that Liverpool did at their height as a club in the 70s and 80s. Let’s see where we both are when our major run of success comes to an end in another decade or so.

That’s a bit unfair to Liverpool’s history.

They had greats throughout from Jack Cox, Arthur Goddard, Gordon Hodgson, Billy Liddel, Roger Hunt… they won back to back titles in the 1920s with legends like Donald MacKinlay and Elisha Scott playing for them.

Liverpool had won 4 league titles before we’d won one.

Where their argument falls down is when they say other clubs don’t have legends, that other clubs don’t have history, that other clubs are shit…

As I said in the post above, if they’re calling City a shit club with shit history, they’re calling their own club, their own legends and their own history shit n’all. So we shouldn’t do the same thing.

This video is Intresting, shows we do have history and until the 80s was fairly even between us and united. They shot ahead under Fergie but we are catching them up and I bet there hating it!

MANCHESTER UNITED V MANCHESTER CITY -WHO HAS THE BETTER HISTORY?
