How Much Did The 35 Years Thing Wind You Up?

[Jnr Kisby]

Nice on Flash and Junior...........

Didn't bother me at all.

When other ( so called ) fans mentioned that we had not won a trophy in 35 years, I simply corrected their inacuracy. We won one in 1999 at Wembley after the Gillingham game and the old First Division trophy under Keegan.....

Ah yes "but that doesnt count" - comes the standard response!

Yes - very perceptive of you Junior.

There were a few answers to that effect but I did remind them that the actual First Divison Trophy was the same one that Liverpool had won so many times and that they had gone on to win the European Cup after winning that trophy. My argument was that ' 35 years and won f*** all ' was not true - we had won a trophy and that was that.

I didn't bring that argument into winning the play off against Gillingham, though.............sure you can appreciate why.................

My respons was short and sweet. 35 years and were still supporting the club, would you glory hunting c***s do the same?! Our time will come.

Beating Gillingham , and winning Div 1 under Keegan , doesn't count IMO ,and if you used them in an argument with reds , you were leaving yourselves open for ridicule ... again IMO .
That we didn't have open top bus parades through Manchester or Civic receptions at the town hall proves the point ,
1/ Premier league title
2/ Champions league
3/ FA cup
4/ Europa league
5/ Carling cup
.............................. in that order , oh and THAT banner wound me up tighter every f******* year !!!! glad its gone .CTID!!!

Few years ago at the derby the reds started their 32 (or how many it was then) years chant and we responded straight away '..and we're still here' and basically joined in with their chant and made it ours. The look of confusion that their 'big-wind-up' didn't work was pretty funny. So did their chants wind me up? did they flip..

 

[Carver]

Yes it wound me up to the extent that having it there could have incited violence and the police should have ordered it to be taken down because of this.

 

[Lucky13]

Thought the banner was funny and i'd imagine we'd have done the same.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Never particularly bothered me, in fact I always felt that anyone who threw that my way were showing certain traits and that they were only in it for the trophies, if we 'd have never won a single thing again I would have still been a Blue supporting the team regardless, plenty of fans do it.

About 0 out of 10.

 

[BTH]

It didn't. Made me/us stronger if anything.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I used to like it. Rags thought it was funny that we supported a club that didn't win and showed themselves up for the plastics they are.

Only time I got wound up was when Gary Cook said it upset us.

Who's laughing now?

 

[morleyswife]

Not even a tiny, winsy bit.

I support City for community reasons and I don't see winning trophies as the be all and end all.

Bullshit!

Awaits ban

 

[TCIB]

Not much tbh, it was a small part of a large machine that was in my face wherever i turned.

Being at home playing pool alone on a cl night was what pissed me of, mates were swanning around europe (all reds).
That did my head in.

Grim, grim times SF. Compared to watching City under him, the banner was a piece of piss to deal with.

 

[give & go]

We took their banner
We took their dignity ( 6-1 )
We took their title

Enough said

Much like a kidnap victim, that anchor became my friend. Like getting a failed batch of E, I would take it with anticipation be let down and hope that the next batch would be the mind blower that was craved.

Well my fellow Blues, i have just come down from the biggest high yet, surprise...surprise like all good junkies i want to shoot that rainbow again.

 

[blueste41]

A lot!

My first thought when we won the fa cup was that I would never have to see that banner again! Sad but true.
