Don't like Shearer but Owen is a tool to disrespect the club and the fans like that, few comments on MOTD can not be used to generalise the whole fan base.
Winter is usually pretty good, but lately gone off the rails.In yesterday's Times he wrote that OGS was getting it right, taking yoonited back to the top!! Sorry, Henry, you've been smoking something.
To be fair so did we. In fact we averaged less than 20000 only 30 years ago.I remember them fuckers getting 15000 crowds,don’t like Owen but I have to agree with him.
Hearts or Hibs ???To be fair so did we. In fact we averaged less than 20000 only 30 years ago.
Owen is right though. Well supported and a big stadium but surely no club could be considered "A Big Club" by themselves or others if they haven't won even ONE major trophy in 64 years. They came close to winning a trophy on a number of occasions (including 1976 League Cup Final vs MCFC) but nonetheless the facts speak for themselves.
Obviously that is your opinion. As we all know, every club has it's history whether they have won a lot of trophies over the years or not.Prior to 2011 (and maybe since) most City supporters - including me - if asked, would have said that a club doesn’t have to win trophies to be considered a big one.

But each club COMPETES to win as many trophies as possible,including promotion and relegation. So winning trophies is the reason why football clubs and indeed the whole football industry is about competition and winning trophies.
And imo the BIG (or maybe Elite Clubs is a more apt phrase) win the most trophies. If you don't agree with me,thats fine.
A sleeping giant and a big club in certain periods in time (1930s and 1960s/70s).So did you consider City to be a big club before HRH bought us?
