Rallivo, is that the same as Kingy, remember a corky catching me in the back, still hurts today.

Better than a corky hitting you in the bollocks. That's when you need to put a jubbly on em to stop the swelling.

There is a lot at stake. Losing is a 2 year ban AND lots of other issues. Settling in a managed way at 1 year for a ban in a Covid CL feels a commercial decision UNLESS we are super confident of our appeal being fully upheld.

It does seem strange to me on the face of it given that the advice in such cases is never that you're certain to win, no matter how strong the position may seem. And the effect of Covid would seem to make a one-year ban less unpalatable now than when the AC handed down its decision nearly four months ago.

You don't think the lack of a settlement is more likely to be down to UEFA? In other words, being under pressure from influential stakeholders to come down hard on City, they prefer the CAS to be responsible for a more lenient outcome, even to the extent of a one-year ban, which allows them not to be accused of 'caving in'.

Same as my Dad, born and raised on Rosebery Street in Moss Side.

He uses City for the family and Man City for everyone else.

Know it well. The posh bit ;)

Christ, that reminds me, we played Kingy on Princess Parkway, no no the grass bit, still remember a wayward throw bouncing on the bonnet of a passing car.

Thought as much. Best to check though. :-)

It’s not possible to forget about Dre.

I was about 7, they hadn't dropped-)

Maybe just me, but nothing better than foreigners (particularly players) using Manchester (meaning us) these days. Confirmation of the club's status.

I must only ever hear it being used by those who are so desperate to attribute it to United - usually Bavarians.

We have done such a good job on and off the pitch when it comes to people knowing City as a global brand.

I was about 13 and they went back up.

Surely not?

So if your mate in M14 said "Did you watch Match of the Day" you'd reply with "I watched the Man City game then turned it over"?

I've literally never heard anyone from inside the M60 say "Man City" in that context, always just "I watched the City game".

Of course it would be City in that context. I was responding to the post in terms of anyone who asked me who I supported?

I very rarely hear anyone from Manchester use the prefix for us.

Unless they are the type of person who brings their own toilet roll to a game.
