No History ?

[bluemanc]

Sorry to confuse you with that picture, but the picture is genuine & we held those 3 trophys at the same time which no other club had ever done,by all means show a picture of another club that has equalled that before 1970 if you like.

Shame our club doesn't know about our History,they could have said the 3 stars on the new badge were for that very Treble.

I think that this photo was a publicity stunt of some kind.By the time we won the F.A. Cup in May 1969,the 1st Division had been won by Leeds United for that season.
The only teams to win the "Double" of F.A. Cup and 1st Division title in the same season around that time were Tottenham Hotspur in 1961 and then Arsenal in 1971.
Check the history books if you don't believe me.

Sorry but you are wrong & i truly do mean i'm sorry.
We held all 3 Trophy's by right at the same time
That picture though you need it to be fake is factual,by all means dissmiss it & pretend it is as you want to be just a fake but it isn't a fake it is a part of our History & i was proud to be part of it. Like it or not we had a fuckin awesome team which but for the shocking sacking of Joe Mercer would have been even more successful.

Have to say I found it funny. Of course, I'm not the type to get my balls in a twist either from slagging off Hughes or worshipping Mancini.

Of course it was funny, very funny infact a thread about our History turns into a pisstake of our former manager which is something only "the typical City fan" would do.no other thread on any other clubs forum about the clubs History would be polluted by a comment like that..........free speech though.

Wow! I think you may need to get over yourself mate. A thread about self justification after a few comments from other teams fans smacks of a deep lying insecurity that I personally don't suffer from.

The term no history itself is meaningless when directed at a club that was founded in 1880. What the term is suppose to convey is a lack of success. In the medium term there is some justification as it has been a while since we won anything.

If that truth hurts you then I'm sorry. The reality of our club is we have a long and interesting history with some short periods of success. What is more interesting is the near and medium term future which is and will be like nothing this club or it's supporters have ever known.

If we want to enjoy the fruits of our present circumstance most sweetly then we should accept the past for the reality it was and not try to change it. We should most importantly try to show a little humility. Try to imagine being a Pompey fan right now. I'magine if we were broke and some other club just had zillions thown at them.

The abuse we get these days from other clubs is in part due to the crass behaviour of many of our fans who delight in waving our money in other fans faces despite not having won anything with it yet or without it for some time.

A little humour goes a long way. You should try it from time to time.

Bluemanc,
The only season that we held 2 trophies was 1969-70 and the 2 trophies were the League Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup --- and they are not the trophies that are on display in your photo.
As you said the photo is not a fake,it is a genuine valid photo,but the fact remains (as shown in all history/football stats books) that we did not win those 2 trophies in the same season.
Any City fan on this forum will confirm that what I have stated is fact.

I have always admired our gallows humour and ability to take the piss out of ourselves. To me, along with our loyalty, it's what separates City fans (not the club) from pretty much all others. So, for me, it's just as much a part of our history as anything else.

In 68-69 we won the FA Cup and the Charity Shield.

Thank you for confirming that fact, Falastur.
And the 1st Division title was won the previous season 1967-68.

No history? I've been supporting City for nearly 50 years and in that time I've seen us win league titles and cups at home and in Europe, what the fuck else could we have won? Have United, Liverpool or Spurs won some fucking inter-galactic tournament that I don't know about? Have Arsenal won the Eurovision Song Contest, did Villa assist in the relief of Mafeking, or Everton help to put down the Boxer rebellion?

And while we’re on the subject of history, tell Liverpool fans to put all their titles in a nice big box, take it to the bank on Tuesday morning and see how many players they can buy with it.

By the logic of some rival supporters we should all be following the Royal Mechanics or Corinthians, maybe even Sheffield Hallam or Notts fucking County.

Anyway fuck the jealous bastards, every one of them would swap all their yesterdays for half of our tomorrows.

Had an arse fan try to mock me in work informing me we have no history had to let him know that city won the FA cup in 1903 and it wasn't until 1930/31 that arsenal won there first silverware.
I then emailed the list of cup and leaue winners and put in large bold letters at the bottom I wrote
YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR HISTORY
