Other Fans City Fans Get On With

- I've also heard we have good relations with Rangers, is this still a thing?

- Seems to be mixed opinions on Hibs - I've also heard Celtic do not like us and I actually did indeed randomly get a lot of stick about my City shirt from a Celtic fan on this side of the pond a while back...this have anything to do with the historical ties between Man Utd/Liverpool and Irish immigrants? (I know both of those clubs have a lot of fans in Ireland and so I'm curious as to whether clubs that use Irish imagery tend not to like us for that reason)

- Dumb Yank question incoming: I'm guessing people call Arsenal "Tarquins" because they're seen as posh Londoners? I've never heard the term "Tarquin" describe anything outside of one of the ancient kings of Rome so I didn't realize it's a pejorative for "upper crust"

You've pretty much got it as to why you might have got those comments.
Mostly myths lapped up by people who want to believe them but mos

On the right lines I would say
Most of the London clubs I'm aware of West Ham, Spurs etc consider Arsenal fans as not really proper football people and a little as Dick Heads.
Liverpool have no Irish heritage whatsoever and Uniteds was invented by a former manager who used to play for City. So like most things united connected e g ground name Old Trafford (is a cricket ground), Theatre of Dreams (from a US stadium), Nickname Red Devils ( Rugby team) , song Glory Glory ((Tottenham Hotspurs song) it is all very false.

Rangers?! After what those feral scumbags did to our city in 2008, sod that right off.

Scottish football fans are worse than scousers.

Your going to get dickheads in an away support of 200,000, 99% of them were sound and after living up there I can say in my experience most are pro City or Chelsea when it comes to English teams. Many Northern Irish Rangers fans seem to have a United love in though

99% of them were not sound on that day and given that’s my experience of Rangers fans they can get in the Scouse bin for me.

And all the political extremism that comes with the Glasgow football thing can fuck off as well, on both sides.
 
As I live in Bournemouth I do have a bit of self-preservation in mind, but their fans are pretty sound in comparison to most. Only a small ground but their vocal support and atmosphere on match days is hard to beat, and they were mostly very respectful when I managed to sneak a hospitality package to watch City earlier in the season.

I actually traveled down ticketless on a Rangers bus from Airdrie and was the tour guide for the day.

Hope your bus wasn’t smashed in like half the vehicles and shop fronts in Manchester city centre were. The next day it was like a scene from a war zone. The most destruction I’ve ever seen, it was genuinely terrifying.

Certainly.

They love us because City have stopped Liverpool winning the PL title on 3 separate occasions.

Only Moyes crying about the Lescott transfer has caused any friction between the fans recently.

Everton lol? I had the misfortune of being around a good number everton fans pretty much 3x a week for 7 years and every single one was so Jealous city got took over and not them. They’re a bunch of wankers who for me up until the last few years were much worse than Liverpool fans.

Everton - you're feckin joking aren't you.
Every, EVERY, time I've been to their dump - I've seen disgusting behaviour towards City supporters who were doing nothing to warrant it.
So that's a no from me

Seems everyone has their own experiences. I’ve never had an issue with Everton fans, 70’s were tricky everywhere and one did try and convince me City should buy Barkley for 35m but, other than that, they’ve been sound. I think it’s a bit of a shared enemy thing. To be honest, other than a strange Arsenal fan, younger than my kids, I’ve never really encountered any serious animosity from opposing fans home or away for many years.
 
Every non-City fan hates City. They all say nice things about us when you meet them but invariably bring up the 115 charges. You just know they're slagging City off as soon as they walk away.
The only opposition fans who seem to 'get it' when it comes to City are West Ham. I like them. The rest can fuck off.

I had the same experience with them when I worked for Manchester Housing and we had a scouse firm working on one of my schemes in Hulme. Very bitter and jealous.

Sheffield Wednesday?

I watch Wednesday been going since big Jacks days late 70 s they loved City especially due to us doing our damdest to keep them up in the early 70s when TC played for them. Jacks team had Denis Leman Ian Mellor and Jeff Johnson in it too I never had anything but a big welcome got to know loads of their boys over the years.
