How is it won after winning one match ?t’s fair to say the Charity Sheild isn’t a trophy as such. It’s flat for starters. It’s won on the day, and after winning one match.
You have to win a league of 38 games, or a Cup with a minimum of 7 games (unless there is a league/cup double when wining 6 and losing 1, gets you there) to even qualify for it.
I'm not its greatest fan, but its certainly not won after 1 match.

Take no notice of him, this is the guy that wants to create a mass boo to the CL anthem but eagerly awaits the draw. The same guy that also wants to create a protest thread about ticket prices and says he won't be in the Cup schemes as protest but still goes to the games. I think he has ADHD.

Go on, have another guess about me. You don’t know me. You know f*** all about me.(Matt)
But let’s go off topic for a bit.
There is nothing wrong with the thread or the question I asked.
10 pages on and plenty of positive contributions, bar yours, are testament to that. But you still felt the need to post in this thread and try and second guess me as a person and as a poster.
The mass UEFA CL booing has nothing to do with me. It was going on before and when I joined in with it. To this day. I take it you think the same about all the other City fans who boo the UEFA CL anthem? I don’t give a shit if you boo it or not.
As for CL the draw. I support City, not UEFA, and regardless of the Cup competitions and who runs them, I will support City if I want too.
I also use the UEFA CL as an excuse to go on city breaks instead of a week on the beach, if and when I can go. Barcelona x3, Sevilla, Real Madrid, Amsterdam, Milan(pre booked the final), Düsseldorf(BMGB), Schalke, etc.
Yes, I was against last season’s season ticket and matchday ticket price rises. I wasn’t on my own. But we’ve done that to death.
Yes, I said I wouldn’t be in the FA Cup and League Cup schemes this season, and I’m not.(had an email off the club reminding me to renew)
No I haven’t got ADHD, but lot of people have. Stop throwing insults about and grow up.
If you want to know anymore about me, PM instead of making it up and second guessing me as a person and a poster on this thread.
Back to topic.

I think it’s a great return, considering where we had to come from and the obstacles and hurdles that have been put in our way.
It’s been a fantastic journey and I am loving it.

I’ve already posted something similar. But other fans think it’s a one off match trophy, and as such they don’t class it as a proper trophy.
To me any trophy on your honours board is a trophy, regardless.
I highlighted United as a prime example. They have won/shared 21 Charity Shields, which contribute to their record trophy haul.
I consider the the old 2nd division title, now the EFL Championship title, a trophy, but others don’t
Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
I consider the PL title to be more important than the CL trophy. Does Sheik Mansour? Apparently his ultimate goal for City is to win the CL trophy, if you believe the stories?
Ideally I’d like City to win at least 1 trophy a season. Anymore is a bonus. I’m 50. I’ve probably got another 25-30 years left if I’m lucky? 25-30 more trophies would see me off with a smile on my face. :-)

I think he does, but he wants both at once, because that is difficult. Pep will also have told him, that he thinks the domestic title is most important.I consider the PL title to be more important than the CL trophy. Does Sheik Mansour?

We are mate.
I will never ever dispute that.
I also appreciate Rome wasn’t built in a day.
And even with the best planning and will in the World, things don’t always go to plan. That’s life in general.
The question was just a general one, thrown out amongst City fans on BM, and not a criticism of Sheikh Mansour, the people who run the club, or the club itself.
