City v Rags - Derby Day!!!

[blue by birth]

I have never heard anyone call them rags in real life.

I call them the rags in real life as well as plenty of other fucking names..
Rag cunts

 

[blue by birth]

A poverty based insult on lending kit.

Like saying dipper, as a poverty insult when Manchester and Liverpool are both similarly deprived.

It is a bit pathetic using either.

What a load of fucking bollocks..poverty shaming my arse

What ? You need to get out more then.

I honestly didn’t know there was a specific reason they were called rags, I just took it to be a generic insult meaning dirty scruffy horrible scumbags.

Regardless, for as long as I can remember we’ve referred to them as rags in my family and I’ve heard the term used countless times at the match

I do, my friends and family do and other blues I have met do

A few years ago there was this woman United 'fan' in my local, who had never ever been to the Swamp, just watched them on TV in the pub. A right know-all and pain in the arse. One night she chastised me for always referring to them as rags, saying that she found it insulting. I suggested she did her homework on the club she claimed to support and if she did then she'd discover that it was 'proper' United fans who gave them the nickname. Not us Blues. That shut her up straight away.
I use the term 'rags' all the time, as does pretty much every Blue I know.

I’ll get in trouble if I write what I call them.

Me too

 

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

No one choses to grow up in poverty. Those who insult on that basis normally have their stories too. All the best.

See ya!

I was just a fanzine and internet thing I thought.

Never heard it once at a game either, let's see Sunday.

How bizarre. I've never been to a derby and not heard it.

Where's your seat?

I think we will be ok Sunday, home form still isn’t too bad with only 3 home games in the run of 10. Bar the spurs defeat we played well v forest and bar a complete mess at the end did the same v feyenoord. Need a fast start and early goal and can see a 3-1 win…slight worry about the defence and need kovotic back but still think we will have too much for them up front. Haaland and foden love playing them also
