Wearing your City top in public

[Big Joe Corrigan]

I’m an American and I wear this hat almost everyday - in the summer to keep the sun off my face and in the mornings on the walk to school (before I brush my hair…I’m a female). I actually get a lot of positive comments on it!

What is this sun you speak of?

Does the tattooist know Aguero left us a few years ago?

He was actually a Rag and I told him that’s the closest he would get to a trophy

He pointed the needle and said he was in charge of the needle so best be nice

I think it would take a special kind of empty head to have a go at someone for wearing their club shirt/merch.

I’ve had it regularly all over the country.

Thick twats in pubs are always mistaking some of my international or overseas club shirts as something else too.

I always stand up to them and they always back down.

I’ll be wearing my this season’s City Shirt all week… don’t give a crap what other teams fans think, say or want… we are City the best team ever… I always wear my City hoodie and trackies … we’re winning this there is no doubt… we have nothing to answer… the prem have to show proof… it’s uefa mark 2 and we’re going to wipe them… monetarily, morally and take them to the cleaners… I’m getting the popcorn for this one… can’t wait until we are in the “trial of the century” as sly sports/bbc name it… sueing the arses off them… and Delaney et al

I’m clearly in a minority here but for me, football shirts are for playing football in.

As an FOC I only wear a City shirt for the match. Don't feel the need to wear it any other time. I know who, and what, we are and that's good enough for me. Too many nobheads around nowadays and I can't be arsed with the hassle.

Wear mine all the time on the rare sunny days. Only get a reaction from fellow Blues shouting “Come on City”

Last week I was stood outside a supermarket wearing the 125 shirt with my dog. A bloke came up to me and was asking about my stupid dog. Then he said “I like your shirt” I said “Ta” then he stuck his leg out…it was steel from the knee down. I wondered what he was doing until he tilted it and I saw that he had a big MCFC badge on the front. We talked for ages until my wife and daughter emerged with the shopping. As he was going I shouted “great leg” He joked “ I’m getting the other one done tomorrow!”

Moral of the story. You will have more nice encounters than bad ones wearing a shirt.

I live in Clitheroe and, after Burnley, there are more City shirts here than any other team.

I think I only had one 115 ever to which I smiled and shouted 4 in a row. He smiled back.

Most people are OK. Just grow some balls and don’t go looking for trouble. That goes before, during and after 115.

A couple of years ago I had a top on going to a local shop. We had lost to Palace at hone and some teenage rag kid kept trying to bait me as I bought milk and a loaf. It went on and on so I looked him in the eye and said that his mother was a magnificent fuck and I hadn't been to the match. His entourage were on the floor with laughter. Don't poke the bear.

My son is nearly 8 and is the only city fan in school (they're all united or for some reason all fancy european teams ffs), he wears his shirt sometimes on none uniform days, but refused a city lunchbox in the summer as he says he will get grief for it and doesn't want to advertise. It really saddens me. His new teacher is a united fan who gets away with wearing a united lanyard (when kids aren't allowed even a backpack or any individuality) and has said twice "i don't like your bag" when he used a city carrier bag on a trip and similar last year when he was on gate duty. ok i am made to laugh it off as banter and a joke, and i'm sure he isn't being mean to 7 year olds - but i think it's a bit much, as to a sensitive kid (and a very sensitive mum!) i think it's not right cos is my son allowed to answer back and say i don't like your lanyard? If he did that he'd get stick and be given a tough time all year. Don't get me started on there's a teacher that has a year 6 class (so it's be years til my son has him) but he has a united flag above his classroom door and a large picture of the swamp pinned to the front of his desk. I don't think that's right, but my son has already pleaded with me not to make a fuss about any of this - so i can't say anything. But i know if i was in that class i wouldn't be able to focus with all that around, and i'm serious too.

I know the answer to this is city to be found not guilty on all the charges and me turn up at all parents evenings in my city gear and make sure they know in passing conversation that i've gone since 1985 and my family were city fans dating back to my great grandad in the 1930s, therefore we deserve to have the success and are not newcomer glory seekers. I'm sure i can work that into conversation, yes?!?! ;)

I don't know if anyone here remembers, but my son got to be on the team photo they do pre match, last season. The head (she's left) was actually a city fan and had him up on stage with the photo behind him on the big screen in assembly. He says afterwards he had many kids he didn't know having a go saying he'd faked the photo and that anyone can use photoshop.
And they call us bitter????
He's 7, he should be enjoying this!!
