He said, ‘Liverpool’s highest attendance would not be in City’s top 20.’

We did have higher average attendances than Liverpool when Keegan was in charge:
2003-04 - City 46,235; Liverpool 41,777
2004-05 - City 45,192; Liverpool 42,568

And under Pearce we had two attendances higher than Liverpool’s highest in 2005-06, and six attendances higher than Liverpool’s highest in 2006-07.

Liverpool’s highest ever attendance is 61,905, there are 18 clubs with higher records than that and many with multiple attendances above that.

Here are City’s top attendances and they aren’t extensive of those above the Liverpool record:

We were getting 54,000 before Pep arrived:

Have a read of this one:
‘For comparison purposes it’s worth looking at the attendances of the Division One champions in 1947 to see how the Blues compared. This attendance against Burnley was almost 17,000 higher than Division One champions Liverpool’s highest crowd that season (52,512 v Wolves in December) and the Merseyside Reds nearest home game to City’s Burnley match was watched by 48,800 and that was Liverpool v Manchester United (May 3). Liverpool did average 45,732 that season, whereas City averaged 39,283 but they were a Second Division club.

The City-Burnley crowd was the Second Division’s record at the time and it was higher than every First Division crowd since the 1937-38 season.’

And you do know that 28,273 average attendance you mentioned was when we were in the third tier in 1998-99?

I do agree Liverpool fans are not fair weather supporters though. They have the second highest all-time average attendance, while never having got massive crowds they’ve been one of the most consistent and least fluctuating set of fans for attending.
Under pearce it amazes me we had more than a 1000 fans watching that shite. CTID
 
One might as well say 'Manc not English'.

It would be just as meaningful. I'd be very surprised if any Mancunian was pure English back, say, six generations. A very large percentage of us have Irish ancestors, just for starters.

I think it's all part of a desire to make LFC seem terrific, unique, and different. And it's about 99% bollocks.

Spot on and the rest of the country has had enough of the crying arrogant wankers.
 
If I said scouse not english to any of my mates they'd laugh their bollocks off. It's like most things with them, they just accept whatever rhetoric is forced upon them. They definitely don't represent the blue half with all of it ( though a few of ours may agree with them). Sad thing is John is probably in his 50s/60s and has never seen the inside of Anfield.
It all ties in with their faux socialist ideals and anti tory mantra. And people like Jamie Webster/ Paddy Pimblett and various other low rate celebs us it to court popularity.
shack, my father in law is one of the soundest guys i've ever met in my life, proud as shit i married his daughter. hearing him kick off about liverpool is a pleasure. he fucking hates them. also love hearing him talk about the city team from the late 60s and how colin bell was his favourite ever non-evertonian. before my time so brilliant to listen to
 
Hmm, Guardiola gets sent of against Liverpool. 2 match touchline ban. Klopp gets sent off against City, nominal fine and welcomed back to the touchline next week. Seems about standard now.

Oh, and Pep's touchline ban was in the same match where he'd had to sit on a coach getting bottles thrown at it, and we'd had a legitimate goal disallowed (which admittedly he's used to at Anfield).

No agenda ever, nothing to see, no agenda ever.

The sad thing is I'm not in the slightest surprised by this or other shit across all forms of media these days.

No agenda ever, nothing to see, no agenda ever.

If I say it 24 hours a day I'll still never believe it.
 
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, 23, says 35-year-old Uruguay team-mate Luis Suarez, who also played for the Reds, got in touch with him to offer advice on how to deal with playing in the Premier League. (ESPN)

Reinforced dentures and physical abuse/assault of a black Raggie player coming up !!

Genealogically speaking, there’s no such thing as ‘English’. English is just a language and England is just some lines on a map on the island of Great Britain.

Nobody living in England today has majority Angle genes. The Angle, Saxon, Frisian, Jute etc. migration did not displace the indigenous population of what became England, and barely dented the genealogical map.

Most of us, including Scousers, have some Angle genes in there, but only a small percentage.

Also there was no mass Celtic migration to the British Isles. Celtic culture made its way over here in in the same way American culture is seeping in today, but there’s little Celtic genealogy in the British Isles. The Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Cornish aren’t genealogically Celtic. They’re the same as the English as they’re mainly just indigenously British/Brittonic than anything else.

(Obviously, this makes Glasgow Celtic FC’s name a total misnomer)

The genes of people from the British Isles are all very similar to each other, with small percentages of genes from migrators over the centuries but mainly us all being indigenous to these islands.

So even if any of them claim to be fully Irish and Celtic and compare themselves to the English thinking that an Englishman is Anglo-Saxon, they’re dead wrong.

In 1985 city v Charlton in division 2 attracted a bigger crowd than Liverpool v United in the same season.

Great post mate.
I’ve studied Ancient British genealogy and you are indeed correct about “Celtic” being a culture not a race of people.
From memory I think the term was a Victorian construct for this purpose but it’s origins of the name go way back.
I Derailed the thread though :-)

So I had my historical DNA analysed for fun.

51% English
35% Welsh but I do have one welsh grandparent
6% Scottish
8% Swedish/ Dane

Very interesting read
