He's responded to that - he managed to find a Citywatch poll where city fans were asked can we the quadruple - amazingly enough the majority of city fans said yes its a possibility - this is the They he seems to be using to support his spoutings
Even he knows that if he had started his tweets with 'City fans said they could win the quadruple but they were wrong' people would have gone WTF?
some of the replies to him are quite amusing though
Don't know if it was legit, but Martin Samuel's reply was great.
Something along the lines of;
They said the earth was flat
They said 9/11 was a conspiracy
They said man utd would win the league
(90% of man utd fans in a poll in August)
