The Romford plonker this morning said we've only recently been rivals to United because before 6 or 7 years ago we were always in lower divisions.

Take away the obvious mistake in years we were in the lower divisions, he is right in the main point he is making. We are only recently rivals where challenging for trophies is concerned.

ha, what a load of bollocks - or do you think sky invented football in 1992 too?

It's not bollocks in the scheme of what is happening now. For years we've not even been close to United in terms of challenging them for trophies, and a derby win was the highlight of a season and they were few and far between. Winning derbies now means more because it means we are taking points off them in a title challenge or knocking them out of a cup we are as good as anyone to win. In that sense we are only recently challengers to United so don't insult my intelligence with the 'do I think football was invented in 1992' bollocks, because I know the point which is being made by Parlour.

Actually, in the 60's and 70's, we were major rivals. Granted, the 80's, 90's and most of the 00's, they were either materially or metaphorically in a different league, but it wasn't always the case. I suppose it depends upon your timescales, but if he actually said 'until 6 or 7 years ago City were always in lower divisions', he's wrong.

unless he qualified it with something like "in recent history", then it just sounds like a typical ignorant comment served up by a clueless arsenal fan - in which case it is bollocks

 

[Hes the left back remember]

He probably joined in with the Chelsea fans singing "stand up if you've won the league" a few seasons ago. Another ignorant bunch who think the Premier league was when football began.

The main point I was making was that the dopy pillock said that we were ALWAYS in lower divisions before the last few years.

I know, but that isn't the point he was making and he obviously has his history fucked up, or maybe just made a mistake like we all do from time to time. His actual point is that it is only recently that we have become rivals for trophies again, which of course is correct.

I know what his main point was and agreed with it, I was just pointing out what he said was the reason.

Nice one.

Did we not rival for trophies in the 50/60/70's?
