FFP

[algy]

They've not had time to yet though, have they? The annoying guy in the pub or at work from our era isn't at that time of life yet.

The 8 -12 year old kids who decided to be Man City fans because of how good Aguero was on FIFA are probably doing their A-Levels now, and are still five years away from being in our societal bubbles.

They'll be there.

I can't speak for everywhere obviously, but all of our kids's friends who are into football still mainly support Man U or Liverpool. There are a few Leicester fans, but the majority are glory hunters. I can't think of any Man City fans, and you don't see many of their tops in Leicester, unlike those of the red Scousers and Mancs. There will be some, but I think they're miles away from getting anywhere near the other two.

Yep, in Wrexham it's predominantly Wrexham, Manc Utd, and Liverpool supporters (in that order). After that you're probably looking at Everton, Villa, Wolves & Legia Warsaw (big Polish community) vying for a distant 4th place. Very few Manc City supporters about, I'd say - don't recall seeing any in town ever.

Wordwide they have millions of supporters/followers. You only have to look at their social media to see the difference between them and the likes of us, Newcastle and Everton.

My hatred of Man City's cheating and its implications for us since 2008, is so intense it is the one thing that has almost driven me to give up on the sport.

Even if they ritually sacrificed their mascots pre-game to appease the Football Gods, I still wouldn't hate them as much as the Red Scouse and Yanited.

I was in Birmingham last week and separately saw three youths in Man City shirts. They could, of course, all be of Moss Side stock, but it's weird to see, just as it was seeing the odd Arsenal shirt during the Wenger pomp and a Chelsea shirt this century. It doesn't sit right, even if the numbers are less swarmy.

Kids are starting to support them but gobby twats are still red.

Been telling my mate’s 8 year old kid they’re cheats, hopefully instilling a healthy dislike of that tumour of a club. Got to get em early.

My mate's brother's lad has converted from Villa to Max Cheaty. I think he's 8.

An awful state of affairs, and bad parenting to boot.

My bosses son (about 7 I think), from Cannock, "supports" them and was at Villa Park with his Mom for the game when we won (corporate of course). She told me how he couldn't stop crying because they lost and I really struggled to feign sympathy which is a bit shit really. His parents don't follow football so I suppose he's at the mercy of peer pressure at school. I've tried to persuade them to get him to follow us or at least Wolfs, but they've indulged him with kits and such like.

My Godson had absolutely no choice whatsoever and has blossomed into committed Villa fan, travelling into Europe this season.

He'll be all the better for it. If I didn't support Villa (and chose Yanited), I'd have grown up in an orphanage, and that's the way it should be.

At my lads football there are starting to be a smattering of Manchester City shirts, all with Harlaand (sp?) on the back of them, about as many as ManYoo now. Still the ranking appears to be, Villa, Liverpool, Inter Miami, Barca/Real Madrid, then the Mancs and London clubs.

My youngest regularly wears a Villa training top to school. It makes my chest swell a tiny bit with paternal pride every time I wave him off.

Happily, his peers have now nearly all heard of us, even down here in the deepest Var, which I take to mean our plan for global domination is progressing nicely.

Do they like their songs?

Of those behind the one true choice, I really object to the Yanks and Iberians. The others are bad enough, but it takes a different level of insecurity and insufferability to follow a celeb player or truly hateful anti-football conglomerate from another country. These people grow up to be middle managers and HR sadists. They need isolating and firing into space.

We were in Florida a couple of weeks ago, loads of Man City shirts around as we walked round Universal.
