It’s a long standing form joke mate that I thought you would be aware of after nearly three years on here.Thank you for your input, very nice. Is this how you respond to all Man City fans around the world? Lovely.

I wasn't active for 2 of those years. I know it's used as a joke but it's also used as a serious allegation so it's not always easy to tell the difference.It’s a long standing form joke mate that I thought you would be aware of after nearly three years on here.

Would have expected Torino to be Juves biggest rivals. Do you live in Italy or is your dad an ex pat living over here. Like many on here I became a City fan because dad was even though we lived on the Lancashire coast, my grandad was Blackpool and my Manchester grandma was United. Still miss going to Maine Rd with my dad though I lost him nearly 30years ago. Have never taken to the Etihad. Maine Rd will always be our spiritual home.Thank you for your input, very nice.

There’s nothing serious about being called a rag? Sounds a bit raggy to me.This is the internet mate. There’s nothing serious about it.
Rag.
I hope you had the Big MacI was 6 years old when I got into football. It was time for me to choose a football club. I choose Man City who were mid table at the time (2004-05 season) because I was always into underdogs and I liked the colors and the badge.
I don't remember my dad (who was and still is a Juventus fan since 82') being outraged by my pick or because I didn't pick a 'bigger' club. He just said 'huh, an interesting choice!'. He bought a PL TV subscription next season which was crazy expensive and exclusive at that time since it just became available in our country, just so we could watch my club on a TV. To this day, despite being a Juve fan, he celebrates every Man City trophy together with me. In 2012, we went on to watch the last match day in our local pub that was showing it on a big screen. I'll never forget how the entire neighborhood went bananas after Aguero scored despite all of those people being neutrals from a different country. He got us tickets for Manchester derbies in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2024. I never thought I'd see Man City play in person but he made sure that happens. He was crying when we won UCL because my club finally won it (he wanted me to witness how it feels like to be on top of the Europe) and because it was against Juve's biggest rival. After that, he took me and mom to the most expensive restaurant in the city and told us to order whatever we want. He said it was one of the best days in his entire life.
I love you dad!

No way is it with the crap we had to come in the late 90’sGotta be!
In terms of actually going to games the Pearce era was indeed the Nadir -and I go back to 1973I’m relatively young. 32. So my shit is the Pearce era in terms of actually going to the games. Though I was raised on 90s season review video tapes (which I wish I could rewatch somewhere online!) which didn’t inspire much.
So, not a patch on the shit that some of you lot have been through but still…shit nonetheless.
I’ve had a ST since 00/01.

Who are you talking about? Boater and Dickov were far better. Even Fat Bob Taylor and Goater were better!No way is it with the crap we had to come in the late 90’s
Kinsey was a complete lightweight, and Cunningham had the worst first touch I’ve ever seen in a professional footballer.
I was thinking of the likes of Craig Russell, Barry Conlan etcWho are you talking about? Boater and Dickov were far better. Even Fat Bob Taylor and Goater were better!

Nice story. A bit different to mine,in which I had City thrust upon me(I really didn't mind though) from an early age. Your dad sounds like a top geezer.I was 6 years old when I got into football. It was time for me to choose a football club. I choose Man City who were mid table at the time (2004-05 season) because I was always into underdogs and I liked the colors and the badge.

Mine was shirt for birthday (Feb). Season ticket for Xmas. That was in the days when the home shirt would last 3 seasons.I’ve got an August birthday (which is tomorrow). A season ticket for the Kippax and City shirt was what I received every year.

Maybe that’s more mid ‘90s in my head, but my point (barely) remains!I was thinking of the likes of Craig Russell, Barry Conlan etc
I think that’s really disrespectful to both of them.Gordon Davies & Mark Lillis say hi.
I bumped into Mark in Istanbul before the Champions League Final. What a lovely bloke. He’s still a huge Blue. You could see from the terraces that he gave everything wearing the shirt.
I think he had a lot more talent than the likes of Dickov, Bradbury, Robert and Gareth Taylor, Creaney, Russell, Greenacre, et al.
He was one of the shining lights in a really dark time under Swales. In fact he kept us up in 85-86. He scored 11 in 39 (15 in all comps). Taking us to the Full Members Cup Final.
Other than the tache, him being Scotch and a decent number of goals, I remember a lot less about Gordon Davies.
