Out on my round today, a door was opened by a bloke about my age in a rag T-shirt.

"Are you wearing that for a bet?" I asked.

"Who do you support?"

"City."

"Bradford?"

"No, the only team in Manchester."

"You might win a trophy this year. We definitely will."

"Typical arrogant rag," I replied, as I walked away.

The entitlement certainly hasn’t left, despite more than a decade of gradual decline.

you probably don't live in Manchester - or perhaps he was just visiting someone

Ever since that FAC Final I've despised Spurs, but if they beat the Rag's I might reconsider, if only for a few days...

There's thousands of us (junior) FOC's in that boat.

That long walk back to wherever I caught the train from after the game will stay with me forever.

Yes was at those 2 games and especially the second one where we still took 20/25 k fanatically not giving up but they seemed to have the rest of the stadium meant there wasn't much love going around. I'd never minded them much growing up before that but I think a lot of City fans were shocked what a bunch they were especially en masse like that.

But yes one for the ages if they pull this final off. Invest in the zebra pants manufacturing industry...

It's not a trophy. Winning the Europa League is the equivalent of getting relegated and winning the Championship.

I think we had more than 25.000 there, but yes we were heavily outnumbered.
 
Is their pounds spent to points earned the worst in Premier League history?
Or perhaps pounds to league position?

Happy FA Cup Final Eve fellow Blues.

Just thought I would pop in here to enquire if anyone has heard from the Vatican regarding Leo’s opinion regarding the existence of this shower of shite.

SCUM.

CTID.

As you were.

I don’t think he’s even known who they are.

Apparently, he was heard to ask, "Who the fuck are they?"

I wonder if the fix is already in. If the Spuds don't get CL football, no problem. The rags missing out two seasons on the trot and no European football whatsoever could be the beginning of the end.

True.

However, I believe that the beginning of the end started for them in 2013.
