I don't like to generalise any set of fans, so it doesn't give me any pleasure to lump you all together.
However, all the shite this board has been spouting about Ajax being a non-entity has gotten me rather worked up. If City fans want to shake off the stereotype of being classless, loudmouthed, arrogant glory hunters then you need to wise up and have some freaking respect.
Saying that Ajax are a 'joke' and a 'feeder club' is beyond arrogant. As somebody thankfully pointed out, AFC Ajax have done more on the domestic, European and world stage than City will ever dream of.
Here's a quick copy and paste from Wikipedia:

I have little else to say - The stats speak for themselves, Sheikh's riches or not, to AFC Ajax: CITY ARE THE MINNOWS, they just won the lottery.
How can you compete with a club with one Ted Bates trophy to their name? Do you know how many Thomas Cook trophies we have?! Where do you think the three stars come from?!
Also, are you going to tell him we were only Runners-Up in the Full Members' Cup, or shall I?
