You get so angry because you want to be able to buy history and you can't...

Bert Trautman... anything else?

Think Man U and you think the busby babes, Best, Law, Charlton et al, 1968, 1999, Fergie's fledglings.. youth, great comebacks.. we have a history that only Liverpool can match in the England. You hope our support is based on short term success, but its not, its based on being United. Its why Liverpool will always bounce back..

Barca and Madrid in Spain..

You've completely misunderstood my original post.

As City fans we're just as happy taking the piss out of ourselves as we are out of you lot and certainly didn't become Blues to lord it over others. Most of us had no or little choice in the matter and we've made the best of what has been a bad job for the most part.

From what I've seen many of you lot became rags for the sole reason that the team were successful. You've known nothing but winning trophies but even that's not been enough for you. Your mantra has not been simply to glory in your own vicarious success but to mock and deride others. You've done that without realising the utter and complete irony of "fans" like you mocking true fans who have a genuine connection to the club they support and care little about how many trophies they've won.

The truth is that many of you simply won't be able to take the boot being on the other foot.
