Much as it hurts to admit it they have been great - we've been shite. There's no disputing that fact.
No need to accuse him of being a rag though - that's the worst form of insult you can throw at a man.
The one thing we've got that they haven't and are likely to start finding out very soon, is true fans. Ones that have supported this club through the really bad times. Up and down the divisions, into second, then the third division, back up to the second and eventually back where we should be. No trophy for decades but still forty thousand plus blues turn up to see their team.
I seriously doubt that the trains from Euston, the planes from Dublin and the buses from Salford will be as red as they are now once the trophies start to elude that side of town. The international and out of town fans will start to fade away as they jump on a new blue bandwagon. You'll be seeing sky blue shirts on every news report from a school or playground and from foreign countries.
Then it will be their turn to take the piss out of our non Manchester fanbase. As it stands though, and unless the ground is expanded, these newbies won't be getting in as we've already sold the season tickets and Citycards to the true fans and there's not many seats left for them.
