History

[Anonymous]

How comes we are the only team on earth without history???

Because we are. Ask any dipper, cockney or follower of the dark side. They'll all confirm it.

So does that mean that the FA Cup win last season is not now history?

Depends who's lookin' at it ....

from our point of view .. yes

from the rags point of view only their trophies count!

Frank o'Farrell , Dave Sexton and Ted Mc Dougall never existed accordin' to them ........ and neither did Gary Birtles , or Coventry in the Carling Cup !

Not to mention sub-20,000 crowds for home UEFA Cup games in the 1990's. Or sub-4000 crowds for top flight league games (for any lurking Rags that's a bit different to an Auto Windscreens Shield match) in the 1930's. You see, the Rags have always had the biggest average crowds in the country.....apart from the first 70 years of their history of course!

They don't like to include that period.
Their "official" history didn't start until '92 and Sky.

In 1880, St Mark's Church established Manchester City FC which moved to Hyde Road seven years later and was renamed Ardwick AFC to reflect its new location. The club joined the Football League as founding members of the Second Division in 1892, and after experiencing financial difficulties in the 1893/94 campaign, were reformed as Manchester City FC.

The first major honour arrived in April 1904 when a 1-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers secured the FA Cup. A fire in 1920 destroyed the Main Stand at Hyde Road and in 1923, the club moved to Maine Road in Moss Side, where they played in front of crowds of more than 70,000.

After winning the FA Cup again in 1934, the club won the league title for the first time three years later. Manchester City were relegated from the First Division in 1938 despite scoring more goals than any other team.

City have won the FA Cup four times, with the 1956 triumph over Birmingham City notable for goalkeeper Bert Trautmann continuing to play on despite unknowingly breaking his neck. A second title was claimed under the joint management of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison in 1968, with a dramatic 4-3 win at Newcastle United. They won the FA Cup in 1969 and the European Cup Winners' Cup a year later, followed by the League Cup in 1976. After a 35-year wait, City got their hands on the FA Cup once again in 2011

Im not even going to google the scum, but i seem to remember hearing our history goes back further than those scummy bstds

Manchester City Football Club came into existence a good few years before Manchester United Football Club (the distinction I make here is the physical names if the clubs).

When Liverpool and United fans have said about history I didn't think they were going on about winning stuff. More that we haven't got a disaster to harp on about.

I see with the signing of Aguero we are back to 0 on the HISTORY scale

This HISTORY scale was invented by deluded scousers post September 2008 and was quickly established that the scale is from 0 to 10 but Liverpool is 11 because they have so much HISTORY it would actually break the scale if they entered there name into it

In 20 years time we'll be able to say the same to Liverpool fans.

When Mike Doyle passed away, his honours as a player were read out. He must have achieved all that while playing for someone else.
