I'd be lying if I said I'd never seen any shitty behaviour from City fans when watching us abroad. None of us will deny we've got our fair share of whoppers, but I've never witnessed or heard of anything along the lines of pushing locals into fountains or beating up hotel staff and putting them in hospital.
I'll also add - and I've said this before - that considering the amount of alcohol that gets consumed by blues on these trips, I'd say we're a pretty well behaved fanbase on European away days. Is it any coincidence that when we played Lyon earlier this season - who have a very active hooligan element - that there were no reports of trouble with their fans whatsoever? City fans were on the piss in a big way on the day of the game with that huge sing-off between 2 pubs over the road from each other and hundreds more blues drinking round the corner inside and outside the Smoking Dog - the same pub that was full of Spurs fans when it got attacked by Lyon's lot in 2013. add to that those fans who were there in the days before the match and yet still there were no stories of any issues with the Lyon fans.
