Salty reactions from other fans and the media

This is what a lot of dippers really don’t get. 1978 isn’t that long ago in an historical sense. They didn’t even win the fa cup until 1965, we first won it in 1904. Ironic they think we have no history.

City not only won 3 FA Cups before Liverpool won one but they also won a League Cup and a European trophy before they ever did. Fancy that. A club with no history beating European Royalty to a European trophy.

History? I was born 19 years before the Dippers won their first FA Cup.

Add to that record attendances, older club, higher turnover you have to question their trail of thought.

Liverpool were founded in 1892. City were founded in 1894.
So they are actually the senior club by a couple of years.

Rag.

I hope you intended that brilliant double entendre,
the poster and the kit.

Hate to be a nit picker but - Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's (West Gorton), it became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894.

Liverpool is the son of Everton ha ha ha

1985?

The rise of the Chelsea fan?

Thought that was Terminator 3.

But we are talking about MANCHESTER CITY FC not previous versions of the club that folded.
Just the same as Newton Heath folded and were replaced by Manchester United.
And as you rightly point out,Liverpool are a completely separate entity to Everton.

You're my kind of people mate.

Liverpool were a completely manufactured club. Their founder, John Houlding, kicked Everton out of Anfield and therefore had a ground but no team. So he bought a load of players, mainly Scottish ones. He wanted to call them Everton as well but wasn't allowed so he called them Liverpool instead.

So whatever they say about us, they were the original sugar daddy club. At least Everton had some history behind them, as us and the rags did. They were a made up club.
