Neither were traditional rivals but we were locked in often bitter promotion battles with both Ipswich and Charlton.
Managers and fanbases of both were often publicly disparaging of our club and our fans. Especially Burley at Ipswich
And both fanbases revelled in our demises as we struggled to consolidate consecutive promotions while they stayed up.
So, quite frankly, Fuck Ipswich and Fuck Charlton.
I have thoroughly enjoyed and revelled in their many many years of third division misery and I sincerely hope both showers of absolute twats suffer even more years of torture before they eventually go bankrupt.
Nearly got my wish with Charlton on more than one occasion but better luck next time. Ipswich have spent beyond their means so hopefully administration is just round the corner.
Charlton are only ever five years from a financial meltdown anyway, it would be a Dignitas mercy killing if they went bust and started again.
There is a serious and genuine Curse of Manchester City btw
Luton, Bury, Stockport, Oldham, Ipswich, Charlton, Lincoln, York, Bristol Rovers etc etc
You might beat us a time or two when we are down and out, at our lowest ebb, but sooner or later you end up begging and tramping it in non-league, gasping for every breath of survival like a dropped goldfish, while City soar to a different universe.
You showed us zero sympathy or respect back then, indeed you laughed your balls off at us.
So you will, of course, fully respect and show due sympathy when we say fuck you all and fuck your tinpot shitholes. We will toast your every defeat and failure. We will laugh our bollocks off when you go bust, as you thought we were going to do back then.
Bitter Bert? You better fucking believe it
