Last year some (mostly Arsenal fans!) were upset that their team's Fairs Cup (not a UEFA competition & it had some odd rules!) were excluded, so I also have a table there including that competition. I also explain some of the odd rules too - again, well worth remembering or referring to when talking with a fan who goes on about that competition success as if somehow it equates to winning the UEFA Cup. It doesn't!
Earlier I also updated the span of success for English clubs, including major domestic trophies and European ones. City are second on this table:

Obviously, neither table talks about how many successes a club has had but they both gave an indication of trophy-winning history. Some still wrongly claim that City have 'no history' and they support teams that didn't win a major trophy until decades (in some cases) after City's first. Ah well! Use however you see fit.
