A long standing friend who lives in Merseyside reliably informed me that several fireworks were let off at full time last night. If they're not trolling City players on social media they are wasting their money on fireworks. Can they not enjoy their own success? How sad is that?

They'll do anything to try to create a rivalry.

This is true in general with Manchester and has been for decades, a scouser turns up in Manchester and we don’t think anything of it (criminal intent aside) , it’s just pretty much a non event , the other way round and I’ve always had a “warm “ welcome , Jason Manford was spot on with his observations .

... the thing is that this is all borne out of an inferiority complex far removed from football. They know their city is a run down dump and source of constant embarrassment to the rest of the country... they know the place is a village in comparison to Manchester... they know they're not important culturally, hence why they have to hark back to a one off 60 odd years ago... they know Manchester gives to the world in terms of creativity and advancement, whereas they simply take...

What I don't get is what any of this has to do with the vast hordes of plastic, armchairs, who constantly feel the need to throw their hat into the ring on the part of a side they 'support' by virtue of drawing a name out of a hat titled 'teams that will probably be successful, giving me a chance to big up my pathetic little life by basking in the reflection of their glory'.

They tried the same trick of creating a rivalry with Chelsea during Maureens first spell there.
Rather than concentrating on their own side, they feel the need to create something out of nothing due to their own insecurities and unfounded sense of self importance.
I didn't mind this lot until around 3 years ago until they started booing injured players, attacking buses etc.
They're already lining up excuses as they know they can't keep up long term.
They're behind us off the pitch with a lower turnover and their squad isn't good enough despite having a bigger wage bill than us.

I've had a couple of plastics crawling out of the woodwork recently.
I made the same point around basking vicariously in something they've contributed nothing towards.
Told them a few home truths and said they would have been Rags if born 20 years later.
Heard nothing back since.

That was more than SIX years ago.

Pellers' first season, after we’d paid the utmost respect at their Hillsborough memorial anniversary.

Time flies, doesn’t it?

I was thinking more about booing Ederson and the players coach attack more than the 2014 booing of Yaya and the fans coach.
History has shown that they've always been twats of the highest order.
I would say they're giving the Rags a run for their money but they're basically 2 cheeks of the same arrogant, self entitled arse.

As a kid and beyond I was taught by various coaches to play the game competitively but fairly, to respect opponents on and off the pitch and I think I kept to this pretty well up until I stopped playing in my early 30s.

I was also taught to behave respectfully to commemorations such as the Munich Air Disaster, Festivals of Remembrance and so on.

I was also brought up (like every kid in the late 50s/early 60s) so starved of footy (other than playing or watching City) that whenever it was on television, I lapped it up, whichever teams were playing in the FA Cup Final or, increasingly, in European games. And if a British team was involved in a European tie, I always supported them.

These things have stayed with me all of my life up until recently, with the antics of the G14 and the 'Hateful 8/Nincompoop 9' targeted at City changing my view of those clubs. As far as their future involvement in big games either at home or abroad is concerned, I will now always want them to be beaten.

But Liverpool are an even more special case. My disdain for that club and its dreadful supporters far outstrips any negativity I now have to the 'Hateful 8/Nincompoop 9'.

Barely a few years after enjoying their triumph in Istanbul in coming from 3-0 down at half-time against AC Milan, I began to change my opinion when in 2014 they not only trashed City fans' coaches before and after the game but also cheered loudly when Yaya Toure went down injured with what looked like a hamstring injury during the game. They continued cheering as he was stretchered off. Yaya Toure. One of the greatest players EVER to have stepped on a pitch anywhere on this planet. They laughed at his misfortune at a moment when, for all they knew, he could feasibly have been facing a career-threatening injury. Let that sink in for moment. They laughed at an injury to an opponent. They laughed at Yaya Toure. Yaya f-ing Toure, for goodness sake. And all this after City had shown utmost respect to the Hillsborough victims barely half-an-hour before..

Of course, since then we have had the disgraceful bricking of our players' coach; the response/reaction to Mane's assault on Ederson; the behaviour of their supporters and media-supporters generally; the behaviour of the club's board of management in undermining City; the hacking of City's computer system; and so on and so on..

As you point out, that game in 2014 is when it changed for me with that shower down the other end of the East Lancs. I look forward to the start of the new season and to getting the opportunity to give that lot a couple of dusting-downs whenever we play them.

Sorry, mate.

After I’d posted it, I realised that you might mean Eddie viciously attacking Mané's boot with his cheek.

I must admit, I didn’t mind them until the 13/14 season, and all that happened then - booing Yaya, the attack on our supporters' coach, counting their chickens before they were hatched with the the T-shirts and chanting.

But since then, I have come to hate everything to do with that club almost as much as I do the rags.

No worries mate and no need to apologise,
2017 was when I personally started to dislike them with a passion and when you take a step back their roll of shame is second to none.
When you speak to fans of other clubs it's astounding how universally disliked they are.

The ammonia attack on United staff and players entering Anfield and another attack on the ambulance carrying a badly injured rag to hospital adds to the list of, as far as I know, unpunished assaults on opponents. As much as I dislike united, I would feel utterly ashamed if any City supporter carried out that sort of criminal act on them or any of our rivals.

Agree 100%
Their fans also threw human excrement on the Rags fans at Anfield the day the Ambulance that was taking Alan Smith to hospital was attacked.
It was February 2006, we played them in the Youth Cup Final a few months later and their vermin followers had a banner proclaiming "The day the shit hit the fan"
Vile club from to to bottom.
