Help for my boys with City myths from Liverpool fans

[Didsbury Dave]

My lads have just told me that they are getting grief from “scousers” at school with the usual bullshit: “no history” and “bought success”. They were shocked in the car when I gave them a quick history lesson and told them that city won the Fa cup 60 years before Liverpool and a European trophy before them too. They had never heard of The LIttlewoods family pumping money into the club to “buy” success back in the 60s and 70s.

I’ve seen posts/tweets on here before with these facts in more detail but can’t seem to find one. I seem to remember a Gary James article on that basis. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I want to give my lads a little potted guide to use in future to hit back when some silly arsed 11 year old kid tries to sneer at city. They won’t know what’s hit them.

thanks for any help.

We won the fa cup 3 times before the twats...also the league Cup twice before them.....

Your lads can also point out that City won the League Cup 11 years before Littlewoods and a European trophy three years before them.

Just tell them that "istree" isn't just about trophies, too.

 

[Mid Wales blue]

Don’t forget the history lesson on why all English clubs were banned from Europe, that’ll give some questions an 11 year old could take home to daddy!

Must...not....mention....the obvious

 

[Harlaching Sky Blue]

Put a copy of the Sun on their desk. They dont seem to like that.

 

[Centurions]

Too late...

I can confirm their supporters are mostly cunts if that helps.

Forget clever arguments at that age it won’t work.

Just repeat “why is your team so bad?” over and over. To answer the question they must first agree with the premise.
