I don’t know about that. I remember back when we were shit and you’d meet the fans of the Prem clubs and some said they were glad we were out of the Prem because our fans were fucking lunatics and going to Maine Road had always been a fucking nightmare.Hated that "everyones' second team" stuff.
Yes, I support Arsenal and my other team is liddle Citeh.
Patronising gits.
It's not bravado, it's reality.
No one of us likes it, but is there anything we are able to do about it. The answer is no. They can't live with our success and this why we get the shit we do.
First we were noisy neighbors, then it was "never in my lifetime", then FFP, then oil money, then Arab dictators, now this and FFP again. We are interlopers, we've gatecrashed their cosy little cartel and they have it in for us. As far as I can see we carry on with our success and if they don't like us then we just have to shrug our shoulders and accept that we are never going to get any recognition or credit from our rivals, which is fine, it's not a popularity contest as far as I'm concerned.
Do you have any suggestions apart from go back to mediocrity and we can be everyone's favourite second team again?

They did respect our numbers but I think many fans had many bad experiences with us over the years.
DCIAC and a rag/dipper the fucking turncoat....and then there is David Conn who loves nothing better than knocking the team he supports..supposedly of course

I do agree with you but the media darling clubs and a great chunk of the media do seem to have it in for us.Only partly true.
I was on a river cruise on Tuesday with peeps from many parts of the UK.
They were very complimentary of CITY & unified in there loathing of NEVERPOOL.
Not one of them mentioned money & they supported Arsenal Bristol City QPR Villa Boro Preston Forest Watford Rags Geordies et al.
We are more appreciated by ‘football’ fans than perhaps some on here think.
We don’t though mate cos it’s all irrelevant. Who gives a fuck what journos or ex pros of other clubs say. It doesn’t affect our lives.It's reality alright, but "no one likes us, we don't care" is bravado.
I've been a City fan all my life and didn't buy in to being everyone's second favourite team, by dint of our history of failure in the shadow of the hated rags, so I'm not buying this salty tears of our enemies bollocks either.
"No one likes us, we don't care" is just a coping mechanism, it's a way of dealing with shit by saying we don't give a shit, but we do.
But mate, we mean nothing to them by all accounts. That's why there's only thousands of posts on the rags and scousers forums about us. Hilarious really, let the fuckers keep on suffering.
