Yes but Manchester CITY, are slap bang in the middle of Manchester
Wow, that's a first. I have never known anyone who supports another club prefer United over City. I suppose it is down to jealousy now we are mega rich
It's a cool word. I love cool and funny sounding words. Like gibberish or shenanigans.
Faiir enough then ha

That's cool. It's way to rare in other countries to teach German. Mostly they just learn French or Spanish in school.
So you're talking about Zieler?
And you were working for Man United?

Proves my point. No legit club in Manchester.
Why would I as a BAYERN fan be jealous of that? Have you guys won anything big with all that money yet? Nope. Everything you are is rich. You still suck compared to United and especially to Bayern. Well every club sucks compared to Bayern.Wow, that's a first. I have never known anyone who supports another club prefer United over City. I suppose it is down to jealousy now we are mega rich
Oh and it's just lame to buy every fucking expensive player with lended money or money from some Arab, Russian or whatever. You have to earn the money with titles first!

Your point is not proven though. How are Manchester City not 'legit'?
It just seems to me a lot of other clubs fans seem to hate City now we have lots of money, and yes we have won big since we have got rich, FA Cup 2011 and The Premier League 2012. So what if we are spending big, all top clubs have to spend big these days, we didn't make it like that.

They suck? :dunno: United is the real club. City is irrelevant.
Of course they hate you more now. Why wouldn't they? It's one thing to be rich if you have earned it yourself. And another thing to just get the money from someone without ever having earned it like City.
Wow one FA Cup and one PL title. You guys rule.
Yes, every club has to spend big now. Bayern does too. That's what most people hate Bayern for. But "we" earned all the money we spend.

I disagree, I think we deserve what we have now. Throughout the last 40 years City have been through thick and thin, we were absolutely shit and our fans stuck by us every step of the way, while Man United fans taunted us with there shit. Even in Division 2 (The 3rd tier of English Football), we were gettin 30k+ attendances. It would have been so much easier for me and countless others to support United, take the easy way out, but no we stuck with the under dog and now we are being rewarded.
So you're talking about Zieler?
Yeah, 'twas Rob. I didn't work for Man U, but I did his banking for him. I had to convince head office to sort him out a bank account because he had no credit history over here. Got him a Gold card eventually too. Nice kid. Depending on which end of the spectrum you come from, he's the most sort-of famous player or ex player I ever sorted anything out for, other than Clayton Blackmore if you're a certain age.
I will say one positive thing about City, even though I can't stand them. They get a lot of grief from away fans in the vein of "where were you when you were shit" and an equal amount of flak about "you're ground's too big for you" and "empty seats, m'lord, empty seats" - but, statistically speaking, the attendances at Wastelands have been basically the same since they moved into it. So the 40-odd thousand that turn up every week can't be accused of being plastics or glory hunters that only started turning up when they came into money or started winning things, they've been turning up every week, even when the team were mid-table cannon fodder with Paul Dickov or Shaun Goater up front.
Hit the nail on the head there. Our fans over the years have been magnificent.
Oh and by the way, Shaun Goater was class!
Steady on. I went there in November as part of the travelling Spurs contingent. The ground was quiet until we scored, then silent until the equalizer. "You only sing when you're winning" was the cry from the Ardwick scratters, which was hilarious since a) we'd been singing since before kick off, never mind just at 0-1 and b) I'd spent the best part of the hour thinking the home fans didn't ever sing. The place finally sounded like a home crowd when Dzeko scored the ridiculously late winner. Piling out of the ground the Citeh fans were singing "12 men, and the linesmen too" and as I kept my head down and started walking back to Piccadilly I heard various shouts of "ya southern cunts" and home fans trying to start fights. After winning. That was a new one for me. I'd never encountered fans of THE WINNING TEAM trying to start trouble. The Arsenal don't give us that kind of nonsense when we beat them, home or away, never mind in victory. I couldn't believe it.
The best football fans I've ever encountered or observed/heard singing in the stands, and I mean really joyful "enjoy the day" fans are either Norwich - who are DEAFENING when they come to the Lane, and by sheer coincidence I crossed paths with them on the way to the Etihad as I was visiting mates in Manc - and Newcastle.
I had the pleasure of being at the Lane for Arry's first game after acquittal against the Toon and they were on fine form. "You should be in jail" they sang, and they were right. But what I remember most is how they were always singing and bouncing, as the goals flew in one after another, and we tried to drown them out with chants of "Pardew for England." Even at 5-0 they were singing "6-5.... we're gonna win 6-5...." Absolutely magnificent.
Admittedly our new grounds atmosphere is shit, got nothing on Maine Road. Funny you should say that because i've been to White hart Line and also found that a drab atmosphere, it's the way English football is going, the real fans are being priced out. As for the starting trouble, we do seem to have our fair share of idiots, as do Spurs. Funny how you refer to us as Citeh, further establshig the fact we are Manchesters true club.
I've watched City against Norwich twice and they are one of the only clubs to sit down when they came to the Etihad. I'll take your word for it though
, ha it's always nice to see foootbal fans humerous side. I remember years ago losing to Arsenal about 5-0, City fans in full voice singing, 'Your nothing special, we lose every week!' hahaProbably worth remembering that in Premier League teams, Tottenham is the closest Norwich have to a "local" derby. Maybe they raise their spirits for us.
Have you been to Villa Park lately? I went twice last year, once on Boxing Day for the Spurs game and once to sit in the Holte End for the (heh) City game as my best mate's birthday present. You haven't seen listless disillusioned fans until you've been to Villa Park. Jesus Christ.
Although, the stars aligned for me on Boxing Day.
You're an away fan.... you're in the stand..... your team wins 4-0.... your star player scores his first league hat trick.....
You're against your best mate's team.... he's in the home end..... and he has to stay until the final whistle, because he's giving you a lift home.
PRICELESS.

Great goalie, too for his age. He has a fantastic future up his way.
Very odd. My brother and I are both from Manchester and have supported United (the only team in Manchester) all our lives. In terms of other members of my family my mother, grandmother and uncle are lifelong Blue Noses, yet they were all born and bred in Derbyshire. Says it all really.
How can anyone support a team where part of the ground is called 'The Bell End' anyway?
