That 34 Year Banner Mocking Us at The Swamp.

Absolutely no, besides its only been 5 years since they last won a trophy so its hardly worth taking the piss. We both know the banner was shithousery and but eventually it came to bite them in the arse with the takeover and signing Pep.

I prefer to call it Footy Banter.

And would love nothing more than to get under their skin.

Like i said,they would be reminded every televised game of how shit they have become.

Even if only for the next 10 years.

Plus it would not be directly referring to them.

TV Viewers get to decide the true meaning.

'Banter' is the absolute scourge of modern society. People have decided it's ok to be absolute cunts to each other, but it's ok, cos it's just top bantz, innit?

Loved Cardiff's chant as we won the title at Brighton and Cardiff won at OT.
" Just like Cardiff , your City is Blue "

Yes that almost adds up. Did they change the basis at some point?

We had won the league a long time before that:

The 1967–68 season was the 69th completed season of the English Football League.

For the first time since 1937 Manchester City won the league title, finishing two points clear of their local rivals Manchester United


Their song was about us winning FUCK ALL

30 years fuck all etc etc

The banner matched this song



This was a dual anti City anti Leeds song 2006




Their song:
In '76,
This is true,
A Trophy was won by a team in blue.
It's been a long time, since that date
So we'll sing a song
That they f*ckn hate...
32 years

(F*ck all)

I wouldn't personally call it small minded, or arrogant.

Theirs really was the very definition of this.

Back when they had that Banner going they yearly had a Sideboard full of Silver.

Yet they still had to stick the knife in and twist it.

We were no threat to anyone then,we were literally fighting for survival most seasons.

We have always lived in their Heads rent free.

Me reciprocate is nothing more than banter.

Nothing to do with anything else.

Just a talking point on televised Matches for a few years.

" Whats that Banner about Gary ? "

Ermmmmmmmm cough,squeal etc.

....and Sky would actually mention it???
Put it in the same category as their camera angles for crowd scenes at the swamp when top tiers are full of tumbleweed....

Definitely. And even if it was a "yes" I don't think our owners would ever contemplate endorsing such a banner.

Correct, j. I think that over the seasons I've supported City my mindset has not changed. Win, lose, draw I can accomodate each. I think the best thing for fixtures at The Swamp would be a reading of Kipling's poem, IF!
 
Dont stoop to their level.

My family are all rags, apart from me and my old man. After winning the title in 2012 one of my cousins tried to poke my nest with a cheeky text. My reply was "Dignity." It wound them up more than any banner could. Because we arent them. We haven't got that hubris in us (I hope we never will).
