Are City considered a “Modern Great”?

[percypawpaw]

Yes we are without doubt.

 

[BillyShears]

Nah.

You're only truly great when you finish 6th but blag your way to a CL.

It will be interesting to see if we have the same raging debate in the media that we had in the summer of 2018 when it was decided that only back to back PL titles makes you a truly special team.

Population of the uk 67 million, population of USA 328 million, population of the rest of the world 7.3 billion. It doesn’t matter how “big” Sky TV view us, we have bigger fish to fry.

Agreed, of course we're one of the greatest teams that footballs ever seen. You would've had to have been in hibernation for the past 12 years not to see this. Just look at the way we play the game. However.....as long as the majority of media continues to employ ex dippers and rags running our news feeds there will always be a level of hatred aimed at us. Fans of other clubs will never take to us especially those Villa, Everton and Newcastle fans who will be forever bitter they weren't given the opportunity back in 2008.
