Anybody else hate this 'term' being thrown around recently from rival fans when talking about us?
If you define history by simply 'success' well yeah, there's not a whole lot that stands up to a club like Real, but if you define history as a 'story' then there's not many clubs who have the amount of ups and downs, complete with crazy twists that City do. I mean, even now with everything going so well for the club, there's a little voice at the back of my mind telling me that another crazy twist will happen in the not so distant future.
I've always never been a fan of the 'no history' thing anyway, when I've seen the comment thrown around at other clubs. Are we saying only the top clubs have 'history' and that teams that the majority of teams which have existed since the 1800's have been living a useless existence. It sticks of snobbery as far as I'm concerned, and for those that do define 'history' as past success, then it's easy to point out that history is always being written and isn't something which is frozen to suit certain agendas, and in 100 years people will be looking at the history of the next 20 years, just as people look back at Real's 'history' now and see that there are other teams which have had similar success.
