Not exactly correct. When we won it in 1970, we played Chelsea in the semis the following season, as Chelsea won the FA Cup the same night we won the Cup Winners Cup.
Great article by Martin Samuel on this subject today ( sorry can't provide a link). He urges all fans to heckle their 'anthem' - he ridicules their choice of music too. He ends his excellent piece with "Altogether now: boooo".
Thank you again Mr Samuel - the nail hit firmly on the head.
Totally agree the Daily Mail supporting City and its fans has to be a first for then truly shows the injustice against us - can any one provide the link ?
Would be a great read for all and will certainly pull us even closer together and create a siege mentality which will only help us,I'm sure Vinny is all over this after the way we got treated In Russia.
I will be Booing in Seville and will be bringing the house down again Gladbach I simply have had enough of the bollocks that comes from these corrupt fuckers ! ! !
The Daily Mail is well down the list of being pro-EU as affects Britishness, and a rebellion of this kind is manna from heaven to them even if the background to this story is something they may miss. Nevertheless, the paper's natural inclination is to be anti-City so it may be a case of being caught between two stools in this instance.Here it is from yesterday morning (page 2 of this thread)
