Interesting silly City facts.

[andthesunshineband]

City still remain the only team to be relegated from the top-flight league as champions and doing so after scoring the most goals in the season

I've been in conversations about this in the past. It's a kind of badge of honour. Other club supporters don't get it. City fans' humour is almost unique and hopefully never changes.

Phil Foden’s son, commonly called ‘El Wey’ by his fans, has more followers on instagram than all of the Manchester City players (including Foden) combined.*

* This is not currently true but probably will be eventually.

City black humour is one of the best things about this club.

An ex City captain, won the doubles title at Wimbledon, made a 147 break in snooker, won a gold medal at the Olympics and made a century at Lords.


He was quite a sportsman

& its said he beat Charlie Chaplin in a game of Ping Pong using a bread knife while Charlie used a proper bat.

It is indeed, he also captained England at football i think.

Its an old one but bears repeating...

if you laid every single rag fan shoulder to shoulder along the inside lane of the M60

The world would be a better place

And he broke the high jump record using a cocktail stick!

Before 1973 City and Liverpool won the same number of trophies. (8 each)
Since 1990 City have won more than Liverpool. (17 - 14)
So for most of each clubs 120+ year history City have been the more successful club.
(Admittedly in those middle 17 years they smashed us to bits!)

City were the first team to have 10,000 fans leave on or around the 81st minute
