Class

i think class is..
when you're in the 3rd tier of English football,you still get 30/35k at every home match.You also break attendance figures for a few clubs the same season.
You never say never,you stay loyal to your team.
No matter what happens in the boardroom,you stay with the "team".
Even if you get 10 managers in 5 years,you follow the "team"
When you can sing/mock yourself when you're getting humped.
When 45,000 people sing "boring,boring City" when you're 3 up in 30 mins.

BUT MOST OF ALL...


Wearing that sky blue scarf,and singing Blue Moon....

THAT IS CLASS,WE HAVE IT.

I think it's all tied into the worst parts of the British psyche. A sociological truth (in past times, and still to a point today) being reflected onto football. That no amount of accumulation of material wealth can allow you to jump 'rank' you were born into.

Problem for them is, it ain't true in this context. This is football, this is 2010 - and he who has the money and is at the top for the most sustained period of time will eventually come to be seen as having 'the class'.

Them trying to tell themselves that somehow they will always be better no matter what transpires is just a desperate, slightly embarrassing act of self-delusion.

When you have 550 billion quid, you decide what the fuck class is. The mock-genteel among us can delude themselves otherwise, thinking they're characters from an Oscar Wilde play or something - but the bottom line is money is ultimately everything here.

Top post, I was thinking something along those lines, it's to do with what was perceived as the establishment of football, United, Liverpool, Arsenal and the late comers Chelsea, they had dominated the Sky Prem since it's inception and along come City
 
It means we are startled that you are going to be bigger than all of us and that is not acceptable, the status quo must remain.
 
Everyone one of those teams mentioned by the OP has been taken over, it just so happens our owner has more drive and go about him than the rest. No class they say? they seen nothing yet. Change must be hard in some eyes.
