some truths may be less palitable than others and this seems to be one
this thread has brought out the hypocricy of a lot of city fans .
For years we have all been slagging the rags off for not even coming from Manchester and their fans all being from London and Singapore.

now when a blue slates city fans for not coming from Manchester we are told by some old trafford is in fact in Manchester after all.
fans who support teams from other towns etc should be praised for the extra shit they get.
Salford seems to contain more blues than rags
you cannot be a glory hunter / plastic if you support city
It is ok to support another club if your local team is crap like county.

that is just a few of the justifications used well if all these things are in fact true we as a club have about three songs left we can actually sing and about 10 fans who have never called the rags for not being from manchester
so the rags may now sing to us we are in fact the pride of salford
ironically to the tune of your the pride of singapore

This is a fucked up thread!

what makes me laugh is that Whythenshaw (where I work and live just 1 mile from the border of in Timperley) is about 8 miles from Mcr city center and 9 miles from the CoMS! and Higher Broughton, Salford is just 3 miles from Mcr city center and 4 miles from the CoMS and Salford Central Station is in Mcr city center!
IMO Mcr and Salford are 2 cities boroughs within the wider area of Manchester which also includes Trafford (where I live) also some parts of Tameside and places like Middleton and Whitefield!
my bird is from Salford- originally Weaste, then Little Hulton mow she lives in Mcr city center and although she is proud to be from Salford she considers herself Mancunian, as do I even though I live in Trafford! I spend most of my time in Manchester working, going out, shopping, drinking, visiting mates, seeing my bird, watching my footy team, my Mams from Moss Side as are most of my family and I was born in St Mary's hospital! so there's no way anyone can tell me I'm not Mancunian even if I live in United land (who also play in the wider area of Manchester whether it's not in the Borough of Mcr itself it is still Manchester!!

As the Salford Manchester Conurbation grows it will become like London of the north in terms of population and economic impotance and WILL overtake Birmingham as the second city

United will be the gritty eastenders?
City will be the eloquent westenders?

I know geographicaly this is the opposite way around but just a feeling

You're a bit of a tool if you're be so petty towards other City fans mate. You could also explain to me when football songs followed the lines of real life as well, they're meant for fun. So I'll hold that point as none valid and just consider you as someone who thinks of themselves as the better city fan than others. All down to ultimately where they were born or reside. In most of those cases I'd say a few miles difference maximum, but that appears to be all it takes to be plastic. Seemingly no matter how much time, cash and emotion said Salfordians have spent over and for City.

never said I was a better blue than anyone but ironic how it is ok to say this about rags but not city fans
just that being from Manchester has always been a sense of pride for manchester city fans and even the club themslves have played heavily on this over the years so as I said some fans may find this truth unpalatable and I will not resort to personal abuse because we do not share the same opinions and as for the term plastic and gloryhunter thse are universal footballing terms for fans who choose to support terms from other areas

New poster so go easy ;). What you think about those born between 1974 and 1986? Surely we, those from Salford, Wigan, Stockport, Tameside, Rochdale, Bolton, Bury and yes even Trafford were all "Mancunians". Are they okay to support City? ? ?

At the end of the day who gives a shit. i know blues that go every week home and away, europe etc. from milton keynes, Worcester, Reading so on so on. I hadn't ever lived in Manchester untill a few years ago, and had made the trip from Rossendale and Chesterfield week in week out and it's a hell of a lot harder and more expensive than it is for me now where i can roll out of bed and be at the ground or on a coach to an away game. This bitter ''hahaha they all come from london'' attitude is one that people are fortunately seeing as being gradually more and more boring and cringeworthy. 50% of our fanbase comes from outside of Manchester, and believe it or not we too have some fans that come up from london. Good on them imo

Button it now, WHP. You've made your name on this offensive thread with the same boring re-hashed argument, just try redeeming yourself with some positive comments in future.
