I haven't heard the jelly and ice cream chant for ages. As we've become more successful and the rags shite it's become almost irrelevant. Ferguson and his era have long gone.
Bobby Charlton I wouldn't disrespect. A rag he might have been but he always came across as a quiet decent bloke and he was a great player for England. I actually met him once when I was a kid. Myself and the family had gone fishing at Lymm Dam just after England had won the world cup. My dad spotted Bobby and said why don't I ask him for his autograph. I replied no he plays for United but I did eventually chase after him and ask for it. He was a real gent and laughed when I told him I supported City. Rest in peace Bobby and to any City fans disrespecting him you're hurting our club much more than you'll ever hurt his family or the rags. Stop it.
Did you get his autograph though, certainly in his later years he always refused. A friend who is a big collector of 66 world cup memorabilia never got it even though he had all the others. Apparently Charlton was worried that people would sell it on!
 
According to Maguire the rags are now playing the way Ten Hag wants them to play.

That's a fucking pretty low bar then
so we can assume that ten haag wants them to be outplayed by the team that sits bottom of the table with 1 point and who conceded 8 in their last home game?

I did. It was quite funny because I was a really shy kid but I just ran up and blurted it out. I then realised I had no paper or pen. One was found and my uncle procured a piece of paper from his ripped up cig packet and he signed it. My uncle kept it as I had no interest because I was a City fan and he played for United. I wonder if he still has it.
 
Just came across this:
I know it is 3 years old and I know it is the Sun newspaper, however it is an official pole and is quite interesting. The rags have nearly a million more fans in London than in Manchester, in fact City and the dippers also have more fans in the capital (although not as extreme). The other interesting thing is how many city fans there are, our numbers are growing (and will definitely be bigger now than then) and very comparable to other big 6 clubs - kind of kills the “no fans” gibe they like to throw at us and confirm a lot of what we really know about ourselves and others.

It’s just total bollocks based on Twitter accounts. The figures are fake.
