Wow, great photos. I’ve got that replica shirt that we had to queue up for at Maine Rd. I normally only wear it for Derby’s but you’ve inspired me mate I’m going to plonk it on tomorrow.
I might have to take it off when we get back to the hotel in Cricklewood, the Brighton game some silly bouncers tried to stop me going in a discotheque but god bless my eldest son, he told them I was a paraplegic and it worked for a while.
 
Wonderful pictures. Like a window into past times. Fantastic job mate!

I bet they had to take off their boots before lining up for the last foto, to safe the parquet ;-)

Do you know the name of the song at 0:43 on the parade? Seems well known, just not to me I suppose...
“Who said City couldn’t play, City couldn’t play, City couldn’t play?
Who said City couldn’t play, City couldn’t play football?”
 
Yes but he shouldn't have to, should he ? He is always being put on the defensive press conferences by journos stirring the shit, digging and chipping away at the club. The constant negative line of questioning. Even then they mis-report what he actually says. They are snidey bastards the lot of them. Klopp's pressers, by comparison, are like having your mates round for a few beers and a laugh. The atmosphere is totally different and almost jovial. Like others have said, our PR team need to get tough and get the press brought to heel. Pep should be free to ignore any questions off limits and journos warned for the future if they stray.
It was the same with Pelegrini and Manchini. There is an underlying bias against our owners because of who they are. It will never change because there is a racist bias (perhaps unconscious) in a lot of the UK media. That said I agree that our PR people need to be tougher. It's an approach that worked for Raheem but I believe he used his own people.

Our PR people are shite actually. Is Vicky Kloss still tottering round in her stilletos?
