Do you want to tell him or should I?

Heres some research material for him to read: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/manc.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.european-football-statistics ... b/manc.htm</a>, our attendances from 1947 - 2010. Look at our 1999 attendance our six fingered friend.

Fuck me, anyone expecting a City rout had better go and see the doctor. this is a strong, efficient team that gives us the shits every time we play them. I would be delighted with a scrappy 1-0 win.

(I think we all would ;)

And my reply:

Thank God I'm speaking for City on here.

City had attendances of 30,000 in what is now League 1. We filled our allocation at Wembley in 1999, and we're known for our loyalty. You really have all your opinions about City from every news story ever printed about us since the takeover in 2008. No matter how much you deny it, what you are saying speaks volumes in terms of what you watch, what you read and who you believe. You most likely think City have 'lost their soul' as well, don't you?

Re: Stoke Fans - Forum

They have earned respect the same as wimbledon did a good few years ago but that doesnt change the fact that we are not playing at the Brittania is huge,19 of there 39 goals have come from set pieces thats pretty much 50% in my reckoning so that says alot about them.
Our midfield is far far superior to Boltons ,have we forgotten how they played against us over the last couple of seasons,humping it up looking for throw ins and fighting for the second ball,this will not serve them well at wembley against a team that will be far superior and pass them of the park.They have plenty of spirit but this will not be enough,if we score first it will be a rout and six fingers wont be enough to count the goals we will score.

Sheesh, some people just never learn. A six goal rout? You're utterly deluded.

Perhaps a tad optimistic,but i do believe we will win and believe me im not a happy clapper just a happy man,Stoke will thrive on the poor underdog tag and play it for all its worth,man city the rich club with no soul against a club with history who fully deserve to win.Bollocks a horrible club with horrible fans in a horrible small town,let them play the underdog and we will kick there arses.

Re: Stoke Fans - Forum

I see that they are saying 'eternal wankness' contributes to crowd dips. Well, if we didn't support our own club in the biggest time of need it has ever faced, then yeah, we'd be fucked. Fact is, we carried on going and if it wasn't for us then possibly we'd have stayed in Div 2 a bit longer. Bit fickle of them to admit that.

Re: Stoke Fans - Forum

Maybe I'm utterly alone on this one, but I actually like Stoke and their fans are always good fun to have some banter with.

Strange what a cup final does to both sets of fans. We had a good laugh with a few of them who came on here earlier in the season.

City average attendance in 98/99: 28,273
Joke average attendance last season: 27,162

Maybe they shouldn't say stupid things.
