I saw an article the other day saying City had overtaken Arsenal, Liverpool and Man United. We’re as relevant as Royal Engineers winning the FA cup or Third Lanark winning the Scottish title. We’re a comedy footnote, an obscure pub quiz question. Let’s push on in the modern era and establish ourselves as a reasonably sized club. Forget ancient history and being a perennial underdog. Wasn't that quoting the galaxy brain that is Noel fucking Gallagher? The irrelevant fuck that he is, decades since he last contributed anything of note in his own sphere? No one from that era respects Oasis. Stone Roses & Happy Mondays wannabes with 1/4 of John Squire’s ability and 1/2 of Mondays’ authenticity. Even now he still believes all his own hype. |

The best way I can describe Man C after a bit of thought?
They’re the Lance Armstrong of football. Serial cheating bastards, but will pretty much retain the records.
Unless the cases they have to answer for are tried and tested properly, they’ll receive fines, most of the stuff will remain behind closed doors and football will move on.
I know Armstrong was stripped of his honours, but in terms of wilful cheating, they’re both guilty of that charge.
Such a shame that no journalist has managed to get a copy of the rap sheet for City. Money is keeping that well tucked up for now.

Why would anyone want to forget such an important landmark? It's an amazing achievement, it's taken nearly 100 years to better it. We should never forget our history. |

Completely agree, why would anyone forget HTAFC? Do Arsenal not count then who were less than ten years later, and without checking up, didn't finish runners up the next two seasons, get to four cup finals in a decade? It's not a joke, it's just uneducated pundits spouting the obvious without doing any research. |

Every report I read on city beating the record of the clubs with 3 titles on the trot mentioned Town, and there were many.

I can't even think of Oasis nowadays without thinking of this sketch from the Fast Show. Perfect takedown of a shit band |

There's many clubs in this country that would kill for a history like ours. |

Apologies if it’s been discussed on another thread, but interesting to hear the Man C Chairman in the last 24 hours.
I also read a couple of comments on the BBC live page today, one from a Toon supporter stood out, essentially saying that they should scrap FFP and allow a max spending threshold on the basis of the club splurging the most cash setting the benchmark for all the other clubs.
Another symptom of the money laden modern football era. Supporters of clubs who won’t remember their darker days, it now they have the money to splash they’ll happily pull up the drawbridge etc.
I think this is the face of modern football, things at that level will become more litigious, because the owners will see it as their ‘right’ to be able to do what they want.
Hate what these bastards are doing to the game. Such a shame that genuine football supporters are now vastly outnumbered by the ones who may never get to see a game in real life…

Such a shame that genuine football supporters are now vastly outnumbered by the ones who may never get to see a game in real life… I agree about FFP being shit, but I suspect for VASTLY different reasons than the Toon supporter. They want it scrapping so they can spend what they want, being owned by a country is useful that way. I want it scrapping because with it in place it's virtually impossible for someone like KN to pump cash in to us. The original intention was to stop shyster owners fucking clubs up. Not only are clubs STILL getting shafted, but stops a Blackburn/Jack Walker-type scenario. IMO |

What's the cut off point then for celebrating our history? At the same time we stop celebrating Christmas,and Ireland stops celebrating Paddy's day Or Ireland stop celebrating Christmas and we stop celebrating St Paddy's day.. |
