Jason Smith Yeah, the truth hurts: the fact that you finished 19 points behind your local rivals, lost to your manager’s old club in the FA Cup final, lost to Sevilla in the UCL and lost to Bristol in the League Cup.
I’m 67 and have had an up and down time following CITY... I’m so proud of their achievements especially this last decade. My whole family are Blues. If you’re with CITY you are family😉
Given that WWII was only eleven years passed and that Trautman had been a Luftwaffe paratrooper, the cries from the crowd in Manchester after the '56 FA Cup win are even more remarkable.
Rodri scoring in Istanbul has to be the top. That said on a purely emotional level, a capacity crowd of 32,000 vs Blackpool at Maine Road in 1998, for our first game in League One, drives me to tears. It was like we all went “yeah you know what, bring it on, no matter what division we’re in”.
@@tomben6180I agree about the Blackpool game. Went to a supporters club meeting and spoke to Nicky weaver who said when the players went back in the dressing room after warming up the atmosphere was absolutely crackling and no matter what they would succeed that season. 👍🏻
What a journey. I was at the game in 1985 against Charlton, winning promotion (and the game two years earlier getting relegated against Luton - someone even smashed into the back of my car on the way to Maine Road for good measure!). Due to a combination and time and money my viewing is now mainly restricted to the TV. They are terrific to watch in action, long may it continue.
Arsenal Blames the manager, Liverpool blames the players, United Blames everything. City however picks themselves up with a high head and does so humbly!
Really is that why you was all crying about your bus being attacked by the scousers and using it as an excuse as to why you got knocked out... Pathetic
@@mi793 City fans saying Liverpool fans put the city players off their game last year in the CL for attacking the team bus...In the 80's Scousers c.s gas attacked the United team bus we didn't cry we got a draw in that game.
@@keiranokeeffe1861 Who said anything about being impressed with it..You stated that our football team is dead. You are factually incorrect.i corrected you.. However blue moon rising fan channel is dead this is a fact...What an irritating little cretin you are.
@@vlz.matthew why? so everyone should support just united, barca,etc jus becoz they are playing well? thats plastic. i started watching football in 2016 and became a huge city fan because of their playing style and de bruyne. i didnt know city was rich back then. i came to know abt the about the money after. does that make me a plastic fan? no
@@vlz.matthew u can’t expect every city fan to have supported them 13+ years when u can start supporting united or Liverpool now and it’s considered ok
@@vlz.matthew not everyone was born before the takeover as years pass more young people will become city that the moment they started watching football the takeover already was done that doesn't make them plastic just young. And thanks to the internet they can learn the clubs history through it. I wasn't born when Trautmann, Bell, Lee or Doyle etc but i have watched so many videos that made me love them for example.
@@thanosg7095 same here born in 02, one regret is not being able to be old enough to go to maine road. Dad's blue through and through and so am I, just sad when all you hear is your plastic when all you've known is sky blue, just cause of age

I remember the pitch invasion at that Wigan Play-Off semi final. My mate and I got our photo in the MEN the next day (still have a copy of it). We'd gone up with our dads - I grew up in Bedford and my mate was from Manchester originally, his dad played for City's reserves in the 70s - and we'd handed in a couple of 'medical appointment' notes to get the afternoon off school so that we could all get up there in time. Wonderful evening and we really rode our luck that night; Goater scored with his hip bone and Wigan had a stonewall penalty turned down. Crazy to think we all invaded the pitch and had the players on our shoulders when all we'd done was win a second division play-off semi-final, but back then it felt like things had turned a corner for the club and Wembley was a special place.
Been a city fan for almost 50 years now and been pretty much every where with them and what a ride its been these so called fans that call us plastic are in fact them selves plastic it's been an honour to surport Manchester city and wouldn't change that for anything BLUE MOON RISING
@@redmanc8287 Ur supporter now go away from stadium in 6th position. How about man city Relegation in 3rd Division but fans still loyal. thats true fans not glory hunter man united plastic
@@r.randyafriansyah5428 United had the biggest average attendance when we were in the second division in the 70's...Then the biggest average attendance for over 50 years...Real loyal supporters the biggest club in the country by a mile little plastic
We won 2 league championships, 4 FA cups, 3 charity shields, 2 league cups and 1 european cup winners' cup in the 20th century and yet people say we have no history before 2008
Hahahaha how about on a Champions League night.. You're a bunch of bullshitters from Stockport always have been..But now you're being exposed on the world level for all to see..Keep running with the lies if it makes you feel better you dirty Bertie...🔴⚪⚫
MancunianSwagger oh grow up and get off a Man City fan channel, you’re so obsessed. Stay in your lane while liccle old Citeh carry on winning trophies.
I love this. We've always been passionate and we love our club and hypocritical idiots say we're plastic. The only reason I don't bleed blue is for medical reasons but metaphorically I bleed blue.
I’ve been a proud city fan for now 11 years. I’m from Pakistan. This club deserves a lot of love. Truly beautiful. I’m 23 at the moment and i remember, this club was my first love. I loved this club before i ever loved any girl. CTID💙
Great video. Gives me goosebumps. Been following them since my Dad first took me to watch them in the early 70's. Ups , downs, moments of pure madness, and pure joy. Never boring.
See that's what I love about fans of clubs lower down the English football pyramid. They actually know their English football history and don't get sucked into the blinding vitriolic bile of fans of the so called elite especially Liverpool united arsenal. Us city fans know what it's like to be down there so best of luck to your club mate.
that goal was over 20 years ago, I've seen it a million times over but today I only just realised that goal took a slight deflection, dickov was aiming for the other corner. Doesn't matter of course, just can't believe I never noticed before.
I too am fan of city from nepal and was not the part of those passionate era of old but since 2006 when I was 7 I have always supported city and I love it with my heart. And because we didn't have franchised football in past and still loved and lived football but we have local teams now and we support them but there is a difference cause I have a history with city (joy I felt when we were wining and grief when we lost )is the biggest difference but why can't I love a different international clubs style of football and still be a local boy of nepal who supports its local club too.
I was at Wembley in 1955 and 1956 and in the crowd outside the Town Hall. The tall man just below the platform in front of the Lord Mayor (at 0:59 is my old man - George Whalley, Manager of The Free Trade Hall. I have a still photograph of this event. I am the third generation of 5 generations of Blues. CTID
There’s no way you can bring 1 million fans to a trophy parade and get called no fans. Or have the highest attendance in English football out of Wembley and get called no fans. Or have an average of 30,000 in the 3rd tier and get called no fans. Surely not....Oh wait... you can.
I hate the way our clubs going now with our support, seeing this is just upsetting! Our club has become more focused and getting tourists and selling cheap tickets to families! I want the ticket prices to drop so the hardcore fans can come back home and create an atmosphere and presence!
MCFC_BVB 75 I was in the Colin Bell near the SS at pitch level and was getting behind the lads and a woman told me to sit down and stop shouting!!! She wasn't even Mancunian! I told her I've been a blue since 1983 and I'll shout as its a football match and not an episode of loose women!! Don't care if I'm sexist? Don't recall women at say Cardiff away in 94! I'm in SS3 now which seems to have more old school fans. She really pissed me off. Her husband was telling her to be quiet too.
@@BurtonRdForever yep not just City to be fair most premier league clubs have these kind of people what jumped on to football after Euro 96 the more successful the club is in the Premier league the more of her sorts your gonna get and the trouble is a lot of your hardcore working class support what create the true tribal Atmosphere in football have sadly been priced out due to ludicrous ticket prices over the last 15 years or so MCFC
Will support this club until I die. No matter what happens. Through thick and thin. We will be there. I love this club and I love our fans. We will prevail
The plastic fans argument never appealed Me cause just about every club has "plastic fans".City isn't alone. Most of the success did come with the takeover,I don't think any city fan will debate that. But they Still had a proud history. Now ofc not on the level of Liverpool,United & Arsenal but still they had it. Dont know how the argument of city fans being disloyal comes when the locals,they remained loyal throughout the shit years when United were blasting it. As an arsenal fan,city do fck up in FFP but still respect the club
City has a great history. It isn’t winning champions leagues and prems every season like Utd. We’ve got a different kind of history than that and many people don’t seem to understand that big trophies don’t equal history. CTID🇧🇼🇧🇼
Just like the fans of the invisible man, we’re not really here. Made me cry that. I live in Sweden now, far away from my beautiful Man City. The club runs so deep you could never see the edges. CTID
Maine Road STILL to this day holds the record attendances outside of Wembley for an English League game and an FA Cup game. Man City v Stoke City for one and Man United v Arsenal the other when Old Trafford was bombed during WW2.
Des utd without donors `your` club would have crashed and burned in 1931 you clown. They were relegated with the worst support in the division for fuck`s sake, something that`s never happened to City. Now that`s what you call history. First 20,000 gate for the rags was against City while their lowest that season was 1,000.
