We won the fa cup 3 times before the twats...also the league Cup twice before them.....

we won the FA cup 65 years before they did

we won a european trophy 3 years before they did

we won the league cup 11 years before they did

I strongly suspect we’ve had a higher average attendance than them in history too. Anyone got anything on that?

England historical attendance and performance

Certainly been higher over the last 20 years.

I’ve told them that City have had a higher average attendance for the last 18 years

I can confirm their supporters are mostly cunts if that helps.

Mostly?

Here's some histpry they can tell the scousers

In the 1967-68 season Manchester City did not get all English clubs banned from Europe,
In the 1968-69 season Manchester City did not get all English clubs banned from Europe,
In the 1960-70 season Manchester City did not get all English clubs banned from Europe,
In the 1970-71 season Manchester City did not get all English clubs banned from Europe,
etc etc

My lads have just told me that they are getting grief from “scousers” at school with the usual bullshit: “no history” and “bought success”. They were shocked in the car when I gave them a quick history lesson and told them that city won the Fa cup 60 years before Liverpool and a European trophy before them too. They had never heard of The LIttlewoods family pumping money into the club to “buy” success back in the 60s and 70s.

I’ve seen posts/tweets on here before with these facts in more detail but can’t seem to find one. I seem to remember a Gary James article on that basis. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I want to give my lads a little potted guide to use in future to hit back when some silly arsed 11 year old kid tries to sneer at city. They won’t know what’s hit them.

thanks for any help.

Back in 1956 my dad would take me to FA cup. 5th round told me Liverpool fans bad news. , Next round Everton at home Dad took me to that game, check for crowds no segregation all pay.

Forget clever arguments at that age it won’t work.

Just repeat “why is your team so bad?” over and over. To answer the question they must first agree with the premise.
