City wants to be popular worldwide and he's here to see who's a glory hunter or not. I guess whoever supports City and is outside Stockport is a glory hunter.Because out of the 660m United fans world wide, it only matters if you're from Manchester, didn't you know?
Now that I think of it, if I'm gone down in @el magico 's estimations for not being from Manchester is that just as bad as being a City fan and active on an United fan forum?. I believe your peers on Bluemoon would not approve.

Oddly enough when both clubs were created I don't think either Newton Heath or Gorton were even in the city of Manchester.
@decorativeed Blackburn's transfers are actually on transferleague, you just have to go to the division one bit.
This....United and city's spending is actually quite comparable from 93-08 despite the fact you spent half those seasons in a different division
They need to start hoofing it up to a target man a la Ashley Young.
So hand or heart you'd be pissed off if Utd played our style of football?
Look set to break all the records. Points, wins and goals scored. Wasn't sure they'd get the last one but after today, I doubt it'll be difficult to get over the line in the last four games.
Yeah, for whatever reason the earlier seasons didn't load. Turns out they spent £20.7m net between 1992/93 and 1998/99, outspending United in 92/93, 93/94 and 96/97. They spent equal amounts to United up until 1998/99 when they actually spent £29m gross to United's £28m (the highest gross spend in the league that year), but they were relegated while we won the treble.Oddly enough when both clubs were created I don't think either Newton Heath or Gorton were even in the city of Manchester.

I can tell you from experience that there are more United fans in Manchester than City. The vast majority of City fans I've encountered don't go to games regularly and started supporting City because they wanted to support a smaller club in Manchester instead of a club that wins everything like United.
I have some of these fans in my friends and family circle, almost all of them have become extremely smug and annoying with their success. They also struggle to come to terms with their original motivations and the state money that has been pumped into the club.

They are the best team in the country; but I've only just realised they had won it. Hollow. Once again nobody really cares.
Who's the guy with the big bass drum, leading the supporters?
I'm guessing he's very well known amongst your support?
I've seen many an awkward corporate event in my time, and thats right up there.
Would it really make any difference to you if they did or would you just put another "but they never did xyz" scenario forward to belittle the achievement?
The pitch invasion was so embarrassing, it was already won the league before the game started. If we could weaponise the cringe coming from that club, Britain would rule the world.
No need to make a 'jibe'. City have been a small club for a long time, and are still far down the pecking order after state money.
I used to go to Maine Road as a child, it was a day out for the family despite most of us supporting United or not being interested in football. It's similar to how you go to your local small club to support them, they weren't even in the conversation with the big clubs in England.
Their parade has been pissed on somewhat by failing to win it at home against us, only for us to hand it to them by losing to West Brom, sparking incredible scenes as 4 people and a dog celebrated outside the Etihad. Then, to make matters worse, the proper celebration (when it finally came) ended up being overshadowed by Wenger's announcement and fairwell at the Emirates.
Not quite the way they would have wanted it. Still, at least this bloke is happy:
that must be 'shopped, no fecker has a figure like that, even in cartoons
You hope.
Come on every club has one.How are his legs so skinny fom the knee down?Their parade has been pissed on somewhat by failing to win it at home against us, only for us to hand it to them by losing to West Brom, sparking incredible scenes as 4 people and a dog celebrated outside the Etihad.

Just type 'fat Newcastle fan' in Google.
Also a lot of people will have been watching the Cup semi, so might not have bothered tuning in for the rest of the game. In fact a lot might not bother watching them unless it is a big team and there is a chance of them losing. Any other teams and it is a doddle for them.Their parade has been pissed on somewhat by failing to win it at home against us, only for us to hand it to them by losing to West Brom, sparking incredible scenes as 4 people and a dog celebrated outside the Etihad.

Never skip leg day.
he's lost all that weight, and was nowt like that
Yeah it doesn't matter. Oil success any way. Sorry to belittle it and ruin your party.
My heart is broken. Truly.
I'm sure many fans share your point of view, especially Arsenal fans. But many other fans wonder why and how 'much better' and 'dynamic' football produces only 73 goals while much worse and less dynamic football produces 100+ goals. Something doesn't quite add up.

Pretty cool.
Call me cynical but it looks like another attempt to push the project globally.
Nobody from Manchester?
"Home Town Heroes" would imply some of the players are actually from Manchester, wouldn't it?
How many games did Foden start to light up Stockport in tribute?
Maybe it's just me but I think they're trying too hard
It's an improvement on the previous attempt, which really isn't saying much considering the first effort was the worst video ever to be released on the Internet.Maybe it's just me but I think they're trying too hard
Just get the feeling no one cares about City and their tainted title. Financial doping and the human rights scandal will continue to overshadow anything they achieve from this point onwards. They will always be remembered as the club that cheated their way to the title. Football fans are ruthless in that respect.
No amount of propaganda will ever alter that fact.
Actually a great idea and not too shabby in execution from the looks of it. They are trying to go from the team people didn't know existed in Manchester to making sure the rest of the world knows Manchester United didn't just change colors.
Speaking of which, does Robinho understand yet that he played for City not United?
That'll get the kids excited. Such a cool club that City. So hot right now.
I know, right? They're so cool. I bet one of the Kardashian's is buying a City kit as we speak and uses is as her go to gym outfit.
