probably some Newcastle fans looking for City beef.
Remember watching that game in the pub, felt like a Liverpool fan. Nicky Weaver the city hero that day.

won’t be many out at the parade who will know who he is.

Still the highest attendance for a L1 Final. I thought Sunderland might beat it, but Wycombe lot were a no show.

In other news i might have to complain to Top Trumps about the spider packet including 'Incy Wincy Spider' and an imaginary creature from a film <doh>

Nipper has a bit of a meltdown when I said we're not playing with them.

Even if Madrid beat you next week you will still have the small half of a quadruple and nobody can take that away from you.

Just seen it was 77k. That’s a crowd, imagine tonight wouldn’t have happened if city hadn’t made it back up that year.

There is an old article on it, that seem to suggest if City hadn't beaten my lot that day, they would probably have gone under.

My old dears fella is adamant you lot were stitched up by the officials that day too. Something about too much injury time played?

I always put it down to bitterness tbh.

Within the context of the conversation it carried the implication that those without that history don't enjoy the celebrations as much cos they've got nothing to relate it to.

Fair enough if I got that wrong but it very much came across as a 'this means more' type of post and I clearly wasn't the only one who read it in that way.

In terms of apathy then I think there's a lot of that across the league now tbh. No club really relates to what they were 30 years ago as the game has moved on. It's not like United are still the same club with the same values as they were in the early 90s.

The thought of any other club hadn't even crossed my mind. That's not how I meant it at all tbh. In fact quite the opposite. I think most clubs fans would be different to City's at the moment if they won the league, bcos they have some connection with their history and all that brings. I think City have a specific set of circumstances which all come together to create a disconnect between their past and present. It's like the older generation had something to shout about when they won their first couple of FA Cups and league titles a decade ago and now it's no longer as important. And the point of my post was only why I think that is.

Of course it could just be something as simple as them never having much support lol
 
No intention of getting involved in the debate, but for what it's worth, in my head there is no connection between old Man City at their best and new Man City, simply because the latter involved shhite loads of money and a new ground, I think history got a little displaced if that makes sense, unlike anyone else that I can think of, maybe Newcastle next? Suppose Chelsea did in a way, but not to the same extent. So I felt City fans also got displaced of sorts, but they would probably say that's not so.
