So act like it.

Being more bothered singing about us, than about you afternwinning the treble isn’t acting like it!

Your club currently has no identity, other than having recently become good. None.

The only identity you have is the plucky underdog past you had, which is now lost.

Stop being so arsed about trying to force a rivalry with Liverpool.

You’re currently our rivals the way Chelsea were for a few seasons when mohrinhonfirst arrived and they were successful, and we seemed to play them 6 times every season.

But that rivalry faded, first because we went [Poor language removed] again, and then because they have dropped off. It’s a temporary rivalry, like with forest in the 70s and 80s.

That’s not a bad thing, but you lot seem to want to force it into being more than that, and it’s just nowhere near.

Even last year when it would’ve had a direct impact on our own chances for success, I still couldn’t really bring myself to want united to beat you.

Never heard so much rubbish since the last time I read a post by a cultist. No one at City is forcing a rivalry with :Liverpool. It's not as though we waited for your coach and ambushed it with bricks, bottles and pyrotechnics. It's not as though we booed your injured players off in the same manner you booed off ours and cheered at their injuries. It's not as though our manager is running his mouth off in the media every five minutes the way that gurning clown Klopp does.

City have no identity? you know nothing of our club apart from what you read on RAWK or in the papers. I bet you've never even visited the stadium, in fact I bet you've never even been to Anfield. Typical cultist gobshite, spouting off about how brilliant you are and how poor everyone else is.
I hope your anus starts itching and never stops.

You bet?

I’ve got a season ticket on the kop, although admittedly I only make 3 or 4 games a year at the moment.

I also went to yours to watch us about 5 or 6 years ago. Think it was the first time you were on the verge of breaking into the top four. It was nil-nil and the atmosphere was insipid all game, absolutely awful.

Funnily enough some other fans say the same about your home support.
Only that rendition from carousel in the 88/89th minute if yous are winning.

Absolutely no doubt about it they are. Unquestionable.

First eleven is not hugely better, albeit is a little stronger, squad depth is hugely better.

No doubt at all about it.

They’ll likely get 95+ points again this season, and I expect us to fall short of what we did last year.

I can accept it.

Doesn’t change anything else I’ve said about them though.

I actually still like city. They play really good football and beer few of their players are unlikeable either.

And I feel happy for their older fans who have suffered more than most following their team.

And they're right a lot of the time. But not normally when it’s a big match with a lot riding on it, and that’s why that game stuck with me.

They had money and top players - albeit this was the first iteration of that, with Robinho et al I think.

But it was late in the season and they were fighting us and others for 4th, and it was silent for the whole game.

I put it down to being in a new stadium and settling into where the singing would come from, but it was surprisingly absent of atmosphere.

Still doesnt answer the question does it?

Why would a serial winner of the PL be bothered about a poor club who have never won it?

Obviously I’m giving a bit here to the city fan, in response to him giving it to me, but genuinely they lack that big rival and every fan base needs one.

Our city rivalry seems stronger than the Mancunian one, because there has been a much wider gulf between those sides for such a long time.

And winning the league didn’t only become a thing in 1992 when they renamed it.

Let's all remember the RS rationale for tomorrow's game.

(1) If they lose, 'It means nothin, just a another pre-season friendly'.

(2) If they win, 'Brilliant, dis throws down a real marker, we are gonna win the league'.

My view.

Win and it’ll be a great way to start the season but it’ll mean nothing in the long run if that’s all we win this year.

Lose marginally and it’ll be disappointing but I won’t be too arsed.

Lose heavily and it’ll be an ominous sign for the year to come.
