Thanks for that, but not a chance I will click on it.

Wise move. It’s the Irish Independent and caters to a market consisting almost solely of rags and dippers. The content on this occasion was particularly laughable. Stuff that only they (rags and dippers) would care about. How small we are, how we’re imposters at the top table, how the grand old guard have ruled for over a century, what happens when the Sheikh leaves, etc etc......

Silly really when Chelsea have already outstripped Arsenal, Spurs and arguably the dippers worldwide.

Exactly. I think in terms of global support Chelsea have actually even now eclipsed Liverpool. Certainly their shirt sales are huge

'Always' and 'never'; stock words for the shortsighted and the foolish. I would...err.... never make myself such a hostage to fortune.

Agreed . . . especially re Spurs. Patently ridiculous.

Some of them didn't have a pot to piss in a century ago

Oh dear, oh dear. I really resent giving them the click but will console myself that I normally avoid such articles.

As EB points out, the demographic for that publication will be Rags and Dippers. Journalistic integrity just does not exist in football coverage it seems.

Never mind that over the course of the last 100 years that they refer to City have been at the top table and still retain attendance records outside of Wembley. They talk about depth of support and refer to club's whose attendances have sunk to levels during my lifetime that City have not suffered with.

I recall someone posting a comment from a despairing Rag over at the Cafe who lived in Birmingham and was bemoaning that all the kids these days were wearing City tops and he didn't mean Birmingham. Our support will be growing world wide and playing the football we are, it will only continue.

Dine at the top table, we are going to fucking own it.
