I hope that's not the case ! We are from Manchester and should use our Citys name in full. Those twats from Trafford can fuck off and use Trafford utd

soriano to blame chasing clicks on google

 

[Centurions]

Why is the team from Manchester only called Man. Yet the team from Trafford are called Manchester utd

Is it to stop any confusion over people thinking the rags are from Essex whereas all right thinking people know Manchester is Blue?

I have always referred to us as Man City so I've never got this overly precious whinge about Man or Manchester.

… and whilst it might be a name no fan uses, the club have had different ideas. Those of a nervous disposition should look away now…

Plenty of fans have used the term Man City, granted we mostly just use City but Man City has never bothered me and it won't in the future.

If that top was a training top it would have been just fine.

Every pre-match programme i have watched has had a Rag supporting pundit whining on about their newfound optimism and the likelihood of the Rags winning on Sunday , not seen one interview or comments from a City perspective with a City supporting pundit.
The media are hoping and praying for a Rag win to justify the re-birth of the Rags , it is our duty to piss on their parade and silence all the plastic Rags and nip this revival in the bud.

If people around the world know us as Man City, or just City that's fine by me! What could be better than when you hear someone use the name City it's automatically assumed that they mean Manchester City ? I think that's a huge compliment to us .

I’ve just realised that you never seem to hear United referred to as Man U anymore. Used to hear it all the time when I was a kid. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing?

The daily telegraph are reporting there are demands for Sheikh Mansour to be investigated for sanction busting. Allegedly he has helped the likes of Roman Abrohamovic moor his yacht there.
Is the Derby any time soon ?

That and ‘The City’ which I often hear abroad.

Can anyone spot the difference?

I just got a faint sense of nausea.

I only ever referred to them as a shower of cunts.

 

[citymad]

Pundits are rejects of the game. If they were competent then they'd still be working in the game in some form or another.

Journalists are just weirdos, really believe in their own hype. I put them in the same category as Estate Agents and Snake Oil Salesmen.

They make traffic wardens seem likeable.

Agree it is.

I hate it when referring to United foreign press use the name ‘Manchester’.

Still hear it, sometime used by media presenters which is always irritating

They are usually called scum or cunts by the vast majority.

Hear it most places in the Uk outside Greater Manchester tbh, especially Cornwall, ‘Main Yoo’.

Exactly this, all week all I’ve heard is how united are nailed on for at least the draw and have a real chance of winning and laying down a marker. Haven’t heard one City perspective leading up to the game.

Really hope we’re on it from the off today and leather the rags.

There does appear to be a new found optimism that they have turned yet another corner amongst their fans and the press. Ten Hag has steadied the ship a little, the result against liverpool and arsenal sent them a little giddy. We are a much better team with excellent players all over the pitch. We do need to be at it from the off though and convert all our chances. It would be nice to be consistently good throughout the whole 90+ mins as well rather than just one half.

They’ve turned more corners than pac-man. They do seem better but that leathering they got from Brentford was hilarious. If they play anything like that today we’ll get 10.
