"All City fans are from Stockport"

It's not really the fact they don't live in Manchester that bothers me, it's why they support United and that they all feel superior and are arrogant for choosing to support one of the more successful clubs. When I see a someone wearing a United shirt outside Manchester I automatically think "I bet he's a cnut".

City fans from abroad don't support City for shallow reasons like they do.
 
I'll tell you where this came from.

About 12 or so years ago Terry Christian wrote a book about Man Utd which sold very well. He put in there something like "I don't know where this myth of the whole of Manchester supproting City comes from. In my school (STretford, byt he way) it was mainly United. There are plenty of Blues but in my experience they all come from Stockport"

This was picked up by one of the United fanzines and the myth was born.

Im from Stockport!!!
 
To be fair, it's no different to us saying all rags come from London. It's just banter, surely? Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
 
Agree with Tricky Trev. I think there may be a bit of substance in it from results if PL postcode survey for season ticket holders.

I was watching City - Burnley in a shitty little pub on Deansgate and it was full of the vermin smarting after losing to Chelsea. They were obsessed with City fans being from Stockport. It was weird.

I must have walked by you at some stage lol.

These Rags are really an odd bunch aren`t they, I was on my Honeymoon in Cornwall when we played Spurs, now my Mrs is a United fan ( a decent one who`s forgotten more about football than most people know) and was happily cheering us on, so there was me , her and there was just the one Spurs fan, next thing, three Rags come in from EXETER all wearing their Rag shirts and started cheering Spurs on, next thing they start coming out with " f*ckin hate the Bitters" and " they`re all from Stockport them tw*ts" in their Cornish accents.

Fair play to my Mrs though, she got up ( a bit p1ssed mind) and told them to shut the f*ck up as they were an embarrassment, generally just tore them apart and then just heckled them for the rest of the match about the sh1t they were spewing, I was just p1ssing myself and left her to it.
