We'd Make Them Up For A Laugh
Time was that Manchester City fans would rail against the 'plastics' that supported the chaps across town, the Johnny-Come-Latelys from Surrey that mysteriously only started following United around 1993. The glory hunters.
Now something approaching glory is on the cards for City and suddenly their tune has changed.
Published on their official website on Wednesday afternoon was the 'bluffer's guide' to City, for all the trophy-chasers that might have noticed they exist since their acquisition of Scrooge McDuck's cash reserves.
The guide begins: 'Success means we'll be welcoming a new generation of City fans from here in England and all over the globe, too, and when our new followers come on board, they'll be welcomed with open arms into our 'family'.'
Here are our favourite bits from this plastics charter
* 'Loyalty, commitment, passion and, during the darker times, a sense of humour has been needed over the years to follow the Blues - that's what we affectionately call City...'
* 'If asked where we play our football, it's the City of Manchester Stadium - also nicknamed Eastlands due to the area of Manchester it is in. It's worth noting that from 1923 to 2003 we played our home games at Maine Road.'
* 'If you are asked who your favourite players are from down the years - your credibility is at stake here - don't say Francis Bell, Colin Summerbee and Yaya Dzeko. Though these names exists, they are combinations.'
* 'And, if we score against Stoke and some more experienced Blues (ahem!) around you ask you to join in a 'Poznan'...it's called The Poznan because City played a team called Lech Poznan earlier this season and their fans did the same dance - we just named it in their honour!' (Note to any 'new' City fans - it's not just coincidentally the same dance, City nicked it - MW)
* 'There may be the odd person who tries to trip you up with the terms 'massive' or 'Man City' - please ignore these are we are now accepting these words in general club usage!'
Terrific stuff.
We'll leave the last word to a website that Mediawatch usually can't stand but made us laugh on this occasion: The Repulik of Mancunia:
'I swear to God, if Manchester City didn't exist, we'd make them up for a laugh.'

I'd rather have owners with a long term financial plan that means the club run itself economically than run the risk of being a play thing that, if they ever get bored of, could never survive without 1 of about 5 of the worlds richest people coming in to the rescue. Your owners have bags of money but no idea dick.

If you call the FA cup minor it sums up your knowledge of football

Agreed the FA cup isn't minor, but the point still stands about the amount they have spent. Mercenaries aren't cheap, and sometimes can do well, but look at City's best player (by some difference), it looks like he'll be off in the summer, along with plenty of other players, in which case it's not just a case of slotting in other players to replace them. Don't get me wrong, I think they've bought some good players, but they are far outweighed by over-priced money grabbing cocks who realistically won't be value for money and will move on/stagnate in a squad that size.

Ok maybe not minor but in no way is it looked upon as fondly as it was. Teams are fielding weakened teams so that surely speaks alot for how much it is valued

This is fucking comical. After all the grief they give United fans about their birthplace and glory hunting, you just couldn't make this shit up

Aye, in the OP the writer even says they stole it from Lech Poznan
