That they shouldn’t bow to any extraneous pressure to remove the ship.

That's what I thought, but wanted to be sure. I don't think they will.

I think the bigger worry would be the city (the city, not the club) politicians in some way legitimise the absurd claim with a misplaced comment on the coat of arms, or suggest changing it. Which then puts pressure on both clubs to respond.

Chances of United wearing the city's coat of arms in the final and City ballsing out?

If most United fans displayed their city's coat of arms there wouldnt be a ship on it.

And let's not forget the English flag, the Saint George Cross, is the flag of the Crusades. A historic event still reviled by people of the Middle East....

They might just get over it in another 750 years it's still fresh in their memory.

We have had at least two blues write articles claiming they'd like the ship removed. Where incidentally are the reds writing the same thing, the media is usually full of them but for some reason this is the damn thing we see more blues writing and getting more coverage.

The world has quite literally gone insane. Do these bellends have nothing better to do?

Not to forget the dippers which is influenced by the coat of arms of Lachlan Macquarie who was responsible for two massacres of Aboriginals despite supposedly having a soft spot for them.
