“City have no history”

I think I read somewhere (possibly in one of @Gary James books?) that Coventry play in sky blue because their then chairman was so taken by Manchester City's performance in the 1956 FA Cup Final.
Which ties up nicely with this whole (not having) history thread. There can't be too many English clubs who have inspired another English club to change their colours.
We didn't play in sky blue that afternoon.
 
I’ve always said that most of them are very insecure people with boring or shit lives, often from boring and shit places.

They’ve attached themselves to United and Liverpool to gain some reflected glory in their lives. They use their chosen football team to take the piss out of other people to make themselves feel good about something, often for the first time in their life.

That’s why, when things turn to shit, they can’t fucking handle it and they either disappear, see their arses, or come out with the “yeah but, history…” shit. Then when they are given the hard facts that their histories are mainly just two decades in time where, at the start of it all, they spent more money than any clubs ever have before to get themselves to that level; and the rest of their history are as run-of-the-mill as any other club’s, all they have left then is “yeah but, Abu Dhabi, human rights abuses…”.

United and Liverpool fans are the saddest set of cunts in football.

It’s why I am always prickly towards and moaning about the same sort of twats who try and attach themselves to City now we’re the best. Day trippers, tourists, glory hunters, and worst of all the fucking Twitter idiots… where the fuck were you cunts in the 80s 90s and 00s? Don’t fucking attach yourself to our football club to give yourselves the stolen iconography of supporting the best club around, just so you finally have something to boast about to your mates. And shut the fuck up on Twitter chatting utter shit in the comments sections!

We don’t need support like that. No club does. It makes a fanbase, a fanbase of cunts.
Agree with a lot of these…

I couldn’t help but respond in my head to the ‘where were you cunts’ bit with ‘in a ball sack mate’ :)

Nonetheless, we can both agree that deflection is the only thing that the red sados can do. Why I want them to keep choking on their tears as long as City remain a top force.

Even if it all ended today, I hope that when they look back, they forever get uncomfortable when they think of the mediocrity of their teams while City were great.
 
Yes, it was sky blues when I was younger, a long time ago lol but still even in this neck of the woods, if you say City they all know it is Manchester City and that was even when we were crap lol

Other City's are just referred to as their first name

Leicester, Norwich, Coventry.

I guess when it comes to Bristol City they get the full name rather than City but that may be just me?
City, there's only one City.

I agree totally with you, even when we were shit wherever I was talking football 'City' was enough for every fan to know who was my team.

Exactly. City, even before the Sheikh Mansour era, was just as synonymous with us as United has traditionally been with our old friends the odd lot (moniker nicked from @LongsightM13) from out of town. Just as most people associate 'United' with one club, to the annoyance of fans of Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield (the Blades), West Ham and so on, we've for decades been the by a fucking street the club people think of when they hear 'City'.

In 2003, before we moved from Maine Road and long before Mansour came along to push us towards much greater prominence, Gary Lineker was one of the proponents of a move to change Leicester City's name back to Leicester Fosse. He said: "Most people think of Manchester City when they hear the name City being mentioned."

Unfortunately my link that gave the quote is dead: http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/829730/lineker-supports-foxes-name-change. However, he definitely said it. And it was true then, just as it is now.
