I don't really class what was essentially the Division 2 title as a proper trophy.


So would you rather we went up in second place that season then?

Um, no.


Well you still saw us win a trophy then didn't you?
Of course we aren't counting the play off trophy but a championship trophy is a championship trophy.

If you're being pedantic then yes.


I'm not being pedantic at all, the gist of the thread is to enforce the myth that we haven't won a proper trophy since 1976.
We clearly have, anyone who says otherwise is a munich or just daft.
Where will it end? Some people think the league cup is a joke these days so should we scratch that one off the list and say we haven't won anything since 1970?
Cos we clearly can't count the Charity Shield in 72 either because that's not a proper trophy either.
Look I've been a City fan for as long as I can remember, I'm 42 and far from happy about our lack of silverware over the years but facts are facts.
If I was being pendantic I would include the play off cup and the Youth Cup wins and reserve Championships, but they don't count and the 2nd division clearly does.
 
I think the word everybody is looking for is "major". If we wait another 32 years for one of these then most of the posters on this forum will drawing their old age pension, if they still exist!
