That 34 Year Banner Mocking Us at The Swamp.

Very true. They used to have a party on each anniversary also. Think an ex player used to help arrange it also, think it was david may ? Had a shock one year though when some city turned up.

It was May, a nonentity; n their history really, a bit part player.

It depends on your age I guess, mainly older fans I know, myself included, fucking hated it. It went beyond piss taking, it was sheer gloating arrogant bullying on somebody who couldn't fight back. At that time we were light years behind them and were destined never to win another trophy again. We knew it, they knew it. The rag arse kissing media loved that banner as well and showed it a lot. Never forgive, never forget.

Ok get it but I love making the rag bastards squirm when I bring it up now.

I saw a picture of it again tonight whilst browsing Twitter.

Then it suddenly hit me.

The Rags are fast approaching a 10 Year anniversary,of not winning the Title.

With little sign they will be winning the League in the next 10 years either. :-)

Does anyone else think it would be a great idea,if we reciprocated that Swamp Banner at the Etiihad on the 10 year anniversary.And start adding to it every year.

A constant reminder of how the mighty have fallen.

I hated the one at the Swamp,it cut like a knife.

Would love those fuckers to see our piss take Banner every televised game.

Would definitely contribute.

I think it would be hilarious.

What do other Blues think ?

Nah, its small time, like those cunts that support them.

Best thing we can do is to let their success recede into the distant past over the decades and gradually but inevitably pass out of living memory....

I don't watch any of their games and whenever a rag fan talks about them I always counter with a standard comment like, "I only really follow teams that are in and around us in the league so haven't watched them in a while".....always elicites boiled piss for some reason.

Bullying is a bit OTT.

The problem for me was that whilst belittling us at every opportunity, they were winning trebles. They were winning trebles but still mithering about us

They were fucking cunts and ill hate them till i die.

No it's not. We didn't have the clout, money, structure, anything to compete. Not content with winning shitloads of trophies they had to make that banner. Bullying is exactly what it was. Like all bullies, once we could fight back Taggart fucked off

Its a game of football. We are rivals. It’s mocking, not bullying.

Nope - it's beneath us.
Put up a banner like that and we've finally become what we despised all those years.
Enjoy our success, but never believe it'll continue forever

You should join twitter and make it a private account if you want no replies to your opinions.

This is a football forum and if you describe a fan base mocking their rivals for not winning a trophy in decades as bullying then it’ll be called out as OTT.

Were Chelsea fans “being mean” today for singing we have not won a European cup? It’s a game of football ffs.
 
Fuck em, the fucking rag bastards. They took the piss for years without complaint from City. Forget all the talk about having class and sinking to their level etc. Get a banner up and rub their noses in it! I'm sure Mike Doyle would approve.

Are you still fucking going on you knob??? Listen dickhead I'll repeat myself as you're so fucking stupid. I have no idea how old you are but I lived through all that shit. I had it from the rag fuckers in pubs, at the games, on holiday, at kebab shops, you name it I had it. I fought the fuckers every inch of the way. Now, as you're so fucking stupid I'll repeat myself. Firstly, it's not a football forum, it's a Manchester City forum first and foremost. Other fans do come on here and if they're respectful they get a decent ride. Now, for the last time, what those cunts did with that banner was out of order. It was below the belt and went beyond banter. I called it bullying and in effect that's what I liken it to. Actually bullying is too weak a word. Now, again, for the last time, YOU think it's banter and acceptable. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But don't fucking tell me I'm wrong to be upset by that banner and hate the fuckers for it because that's MY opinion. Comprendo???

Complains about “bullying” and replies with that.

Finished with “end of conversation” and opens it back up again with that.

Have a good night mate.
