exhibit b:

In the late 1980s, City fans started a craze of bringing inflatable objects to matches, primarily oversized bananas. One disputed explanation for the craze is that in a match against West Bromwich Albion chants from fans calling for the introduction of Imre Varadi as a substitute mutated into "Imre Banana". Terraces packed with inflatable-waving supporters became a frequent sight in the 1988–89 season as the craze spread to other clubs (inflatable fish were seen at Grimsby Town), with the phenomenon reaching a peak at City's match at Stoke City on 26 December 1988, a match declared by fanzines as a fancy dress party.[46]

Guessing you'll be singing Munich songs instead then... Either that or praying for a return to the eighties when intimidating meant little kids being beaten up at Elland Road... Or, you were sadly born without a sense of humour.

Gotta love them Inter fans, lol

Remember watching City around 86-88 at Fratton Park against Portsmouth, and the bloke next to us on the terrace had a 5ft banana with a City Shirt on with Varadi's name on it, Varadi started to warm up on the touchline and everyone started chanting "Imre, Imre Banana, Imre Banana, etc
