Like most City fans, I never had anything against Ipshit, till they started thinking they were our rivals (cue John Cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank: 'There IS no you and me.'). Apparently our annual last home game pitch invasion got right up their noses and was seen as us celebrating too soon. We duly went up at Ewood Park but Ipshit never forgot it and took great delight in sending us down the next season, unfurling a huge banner saying 'Man City - You Are The Weakest Link - Goodbye.'
The next season, King Kev took over and we stormed the division, and gave them a thrashing in the FA Cup. It was back up to the Prem for us, and, oh what a pity, they were the weakest link that year and went down.
Since then we've gone ever upwards and they've descended to the sewers. Maybe some of them still think we're their bitter rivals and hope to meet us in a cup one day and pray for a giant killing. To be honest, though, I couldn't give a shit if they ended up in the Conference. We're heading for the Champions League and (that one FA Cup tie aside) they never meant a thing to me.
Farewell, Ipshit. You Are The Weakest Link - Goodbye.
