If we are not the Rags' main rivals, why did they - for years and years - print City's place in the table in bold type in United Review? Yep, there were always two teams in bold type, us and them but strangely, never Liverpool.

I must say that even as a kid I used to think it a bit sad. We never put another team in bold type in our Programme, never.

Surprised we would see City’s name in bold in the match day program as Swales was too tight to pay for the extra ink.
 
Whilst it is a good achievement to have gone through the PL season unbeaten away from the swamp, I wonder how much of that is due to the assistance which they have undoubtedly received from the officials.

Dubious penalties given for them , dubious decisions for penalties/free kicks not given against them. Without those question marks , I wonder exactly where they would have ended up in the league ?

I shouldn't really be surprised because it is the same season upon season - rags getting help from the officials , who would have thought it ?

They've always been gifted a goal when they've been up against it.

Fuckin hell remember that, the only other good thing about rags in the 60s was they put a free copy of the “Football LeagueReview” in their programs always pissed off we didn’t do it

4 of our 7 title wins, 1968 2012 2018 2021 (1937 was Charlton, and 2014 and 2019 was Liverpool). Plus we finished second to United in 2013.

That’s now the joint most times that two clubs have finished 1+2 together, either way round, at the top of the league in English football history.

United+Chelsea and United+Arsenal have finished 1+2 5 times
City+Liverpool and United+Liverpool have finished 1+2 4 times

Thank you for confirming this, I,m so pleased that we have prevented them from winning so many more titles, it must really sting for the poor rags. It's almost worth them coming second just so we can rub their noses in it.
