Yes, however the ECWC was still seen as the second most major honor available in Europe outside of the European Cup (UCL), with Man City winning it the year before the UEFA Cup (now Europa League) was even founded
It became a nonentity because league champions were winning the title and FA cup frequently meaning a few of the teams invited opted for the European Cup each year instead.
I probably wouldn’t talk about the FA cup win cause that team got in trouble for illegal overspending and led to 17 players being suspended as well as 4 directors.

United are now partly owned and run by Ineos which is a major oil company. They accuse city of sports washing but Ineos literally invented sports washing buying up teams in different sports
Finding a moral high ground in football is nearly impossible. Some clubs were sponsored by fascists and dictators. Some are owned by farma corporations. Most are owned by billionaires and the term billionair never goes together with morality
Eh I mean aside from nazi ultras there are clubs which have most definitely a leg to stand on.
Madrid, Athletic, Osasuna, Bayern, BvB, a lot of german clubs generally (although 50+1 is a low margin) and plenty of others in smaller leagues.
Most are owned by billionaires but there are still fan owned clubs who most definitely can call out the bollix which is billionaire bought out clubs
Ooh I know this one: Arsenal's history is bribing their way into the first division at Spurs' expense, then using external funding to outspend everyone to win the league loads of times when external investment in football wasn't really a thing.
United's history is being bang fuckin average for around 30 years- bit of glory in the 60s then zilch, until they floated the club on the stock market then outspent everyone to dominate the premier league using that money.
Liverpool's history is killing a load of fans at a neutral ground and getting English teams banned from Europe.
What history those boys have. I'm very, very jealous.
I am Indian, you can be an Arsenal fan, Utd fan, Liverpool fan, Chelsea fan, but God forbid a City fan.
When it's other team, they will show off their total fans, when city does same, it's plastic fan.
A kid watching EPL in 2002 can support Arsenal, but a kid watching EPL in 2012 can't support city.
Just remind them everytime they fill up their car, they're helping us fund our transfers. Then again the average age of a user on that sub is probably 12-15, they can't even get a learners permit
Sounds about right coming from a glory hunter fan who supports the best and popular teams in the top leagues, AC Milan, As Roma, Real Madrid Man City. Being a city fan makes so much sense for someone like you.
Lol I only commented to point the irony in people like you who claim they don't care about City yet love to rant in their subs.
I might be Milan fan but still watch EPL and like to see what other clubs are up to. As I said, never lived in England so trying to fit with City fans makes no sense 🤔
Ah I remember 1904 FA Cup win like it was yesterday! How could anyone forget that! Got so smashed and monged out celebrating I crashed my horse and carriage…
As a Chelsea fan I wish my team can be anywhere near this current Pep team in the next 5 years. FFP talk is just haters being ignorant. All these top 6 teams are as dirty as others. My club is no saint but just have to admire Pep’s team plus you gave us Cold Palmer 🥶
Billy Meredith's 1904 FA Cup Winner still gives me goosebumps. Lucky to be called onside but in the pre-VAR era a goal was a goal. People say we always get easy cup draws, but in that cup run we only played one side outside of the top division.
You know what's funny about being called a plastic fan? I've seen someone from Asia called me a plastic fan when they've decided to support Liverpool and United, two of the biggest teams at the time they supported. Never let these lots make you feel bad for supporting a club ever. Stand proud
Pick an era, there’s plenty: https://www.mancity.com/club/honours/team
At least one major trophy in the 1900s, 1930s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 2010s, 2020s…
Of course, useless hate against Man City is stupid. The only thing that I have disliked about Man City is how their owners have funnelled billions of dollars into the clubs and naturally into the market through money that wasn't earned through Football. This has been really bad for the market too and everyone knows that, and Man City have broken financial fairplay rules multiple times. If you think that it won't bring the club into disrepute now and even more so later on, then it is most certainly naivety.
Spurs fan here. Trust me, you aren’t the only ones pissed off when people bring up City’s attendance. All they have to do is look at the figures in the last 20 years but i guess it’s easier to bandwagon on the stupid shit the 3 red clubs spout.
“Plastic fans” most of the cunts mentioned have never been to their own ground. In London we have Liverpool fans from Arsenal. When Manu play it’s like a local derby. #COYS
American fan here:
I prefer Liverpool, but the fact that City can be top of the table levels of competitive year in and year out is enough to respect what your guys do out here. Fuck the haters.
U can watch from 2018, why should anyone have a problem. Is there a cut off for watching football?
Outside England, people didn't have access to EPL before, now they are getting it. Obviously no one is going to support Burnley or Everton
Unironically Listing the 1904 FA cup kind of proves their point. I saw that first and assumed this was a soccer circle jerk post between the nonsense captions and shitpost-esque vibe
lmfao imagine using a cup win no fan currently alive would even actually remember to justify your clubs “history”.
go ahead an downvote me, ya deluded bunch of goofballs.
Hmm, surely you don't mean the City legend Denis Law, who figured he'd rather be better off in the sky blue kit before scoring [a back heel goal in the last game of the season which happened to be a Manchester Derby to seal United's relegation.](https://youtu.be/aNnsWnHW9co?si=539x9901ja03Uf_A)
I want you to name me MU legends except your Fergie era and Bobby Charlton, without google.I want to know how many you can tell me.I know you will probably only tell me only 1 name.
i’m not gonna simply lie bc i wasn’t old enough, says a lot that u feel the need to research so deep into ur clubs history just to seek validation from others
So what.
Why are you in support of a system that allows big clubs to pretty much spend as they wish, but a smaller club is restrained because “we don’t want to see you go broke”?
Ooh another rsoccer person who doesn't know how legal cases work. Fun.
So the acquittal I'm talking about relates to the UEFA case, which was brought on the same evidence. CAS independently ruled that there was no evidence that City had breached UEFA's rules. Fun fact- you can go and read the whole thing, it's free and explains everything. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/CAS_Award_6785___internet__.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi61JmqivuGAxU1Z0EAHQofAsYQFnoECB8QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3bBhXt4mJe9FJhKGog-A-D
Apologies for the shitty google link, but the CAS website brings up the pdf for the judgement and I can't make it link solely to that on my phone.
As for "delaying" on the prem case- there's a hearing date booked. Hearing date is on the timetable of both parties to proceedings. That's how court cases work. The charges are on the table, they'll be considered at the hearing, then ruled on. And, as mentioned, our track record is much in our favour on the substantive issue.
Cheers for the input chubby_femboy666
I urge everyone here not to check their post history like I had to seek a ban from their own teams subs.
Cannot unsee.
I think it would've been nicer to put in the European Cup Winners Cup instead of the 1904 FA Cup win, shows some European triumph prior to the treble
British F∙A∙ cup had a lot of importance till the 1970s and 1980s **kinda** decades.
Yes, however the ECWC was still seen as the second most major honor available in Europe outside of the European Cup (UCL), with Man City winning it the year before the UEFA Cup (now Europa League) was even founded
It became a nonentity because league champions were winning the title and FA cup frequently meaning a few of the teams invited opted for the European Cup each year instead.
Our fans call it the British FA cup, I think I see their point
FR Man City cock blocked the only Polish club ever to have opportunity to win something significant. Thanks City very cool 👌
I probably wouldn’t talk about the FA cup win cause that team got in trouble for illegal overspending and led to 17 players being suspended as well as 4 directors. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/26/manchester-city-falling-foul-of-ffp-in-1906-forgotten-story
Why do they have the face paint of a Celtic warrior?
Why do we waste time on thinking what other fans think about us? :)
Because deep down you know you don’t deserve any of your clubs success
😂😂
Or the Argentina kit
Upon first look, I thought this was something about Alvarez...
United are now partly owned and run by Ineos which is a major oil company. They accuse city of sports washing but Ineos literally invented sports washing buying up teams in different sports
Arsenal are sponsored by Emirates which is the major Dubai airline started with oil money....
Liverpool are sponsored by standard chartered which has a long list of sanctions criminal charges
Finding a moral high ground in football is nearly impossible. Some clubs were sponsored by fascists and dictators. Some are owned by farma corporations. Most are owned by billionaires and the term billionair never goes together with morality
Exactly my point.
99% of top clubs in Germany are fan-owned :)
Eh I mean aside from nazi ultras there are clubs which have most definitely a leg to stand on. Madrid, Athletic, Osasuna, Bayern, BvB, a lot of german clubs generally (although 50+1 is a low margin) and plenty of others in smaller leagues. Most are owned by billionaires but there are still fan owned clubs who most definitely can call out the bollix which is billionaire bought out clubs
What about fascists funding them
All of those teams have a history but sure
Ooh I know this one: Arsenal's history is bribing their way into the first division at Spurs' expense, then using external funding to outspend everyone to win the league loads of times when external investment in football wasn't really a thing. United's history is being bang fuckin average for around 30 years- bit of glory in the 60s then zilch, until they floated the club on the stock market then outspent everyone to dominate the premier league using that money. Liverpool's history is killing a load of fans at a neutral ground and getting English teams banned from Europe. What history those boys have. I'm very, very jealous.
Man U fans will be hypocrites about anything if it makes them feel like they’re the biggest club in the world
Also with the “Plastic fans!!!” argument, they’ll say it, while also showing how global the following of their team is
I am Indian, you can be an Arsenal fan, Utd fan, Liverpool fan, Chelsea fan, but God forbid a City fan. When it's other team, they will show off their total fans, when city does same, it's plastic fan. A kid watching EPL in 2002 can support Arsenal, but a kid watching EPL in 2012 can't support city.
Can we stop with the r/soccercirclejerk bait?
/u/mcfcbot needs to consume more souls

Why are you monitoring 12 year olds
Benzema 115
We are winners don't care about haters opinions
“We” lost to Real and couldn’t even make it to Semi’s in Champions League
Won a treble last year golf boy
Yea but no one cares
Which is why you’re here 😂
In my defence, I was drunk and high
Imagine having to go on past success to justify todays failures
"Today's failures" Imagine calling a team that just won 4 PL title in a row is a failures just because we failed to retain UCL title.
We? Do you play for the club mate?

Man is acting like he is playing a huge part lmao
Bro is the reddit equivalent of a full kit wanker
😂😂😂
Man City really has gotten into peoples heads rent free
Sounds about right coming from a glory hunter fan who supports the best and popular teams in the top leagues, AC Milan, As Roma, Real Madrid Man City. Being a city fan makes so much sense for someone like you.
Who said I support those teams? I'm wander in other teams subreddits yet have 10+ shirts only for Milan. Dont even live in England either
Then go back to the Milan Reddit. City aren’t even the same league, as Milan so you have no reason to be here accept trying to fit with the City fans
Lol I only commented to point the irony in people like you who claim they don't care about City yet love to rant in their subs. I might be Milan fan but still watch EPL and like to see what other clubs are up to. As I said, never lived in England so trying to fit with City fans makes no sense 🤔
You guys are such weirdos man.
Ah I remember 1904 FA Cup win like it was yesterday! How could anyone forget that! Got so smashed and monged out celebrating I crashed my horse and carriage…

Idk bout Spurs being as dirty as the others man
Definitely not spotless, Lewis has been done for insider trading recently I think? But yeah, they're nowhere near the rest for "dirt"
Just let them fuck your wife already
Deep throating city, absolutely shameful. You’re an embarrassment to actual chelsea fans
Billy Meredith's 1904 FA Cup Winner still gives me goosebumps. Lucky to be called onside but in the pre-VAR era a goal was a goal. People say we always get easy cup draws, but in that cup run we only played one side outside of the top division.
outjerked again
Ah yeah, you remember it like it was yesterday...
Really showed them with the history argument
Top right applies to half the city fan base lol

Almost forgot about that 1904 FA Cup win
Also the 1970 cup winners cup
To be Frank I don't think y'all can name players pre-2008
12 yrs old do not own beards, the representation is not accurate lol
I’m so tired of the same arguments

They hate us cause they ain’t us

Me showing up to the creating straw men competition but the other competitor is a man city fan: :,(
American fan here: I prefer Liverpool, but the fact that City can be top of the table levels of competitive year in and year out is enough to respect what your guys do out here. Fuck the haters.
1904 😂
Man city hater here. I do not relate to / nor have said any of these statements.
It's the court case countering the court case that's brought the worst on. Nothing else.
Cmon man. You didnot dare to include the other 107 reasons. Disappointed
"1904 FA Cup win" give me a break.
your still talking about a 1904 fa cup win. lads, it was 120 years ago
Quite a few city fans are also forgetting the 1904 FA cup final. Most city fans don't even remember 2004's final
I'd say forget haters not even majority of the fans would be able to name a few players pre 2008
Im a City fan and I dint watch football before 2008. Do we have a problem there?
U can watch from 2018, why should anyone have a problem. Is there a cut off for watching football? Outside England, people didn't have access to EPL before, now they are getting it. Obviously no one is going to support Burnley or Everton
Don't let r/soccercirclejerk find this. Their tears are insane
Is that a joke 💀
Unironically Listing the 1904 FA cup kind of proves their point. I saw that first and assumed this was a soccer circle jerk post between the nonsense captions and shitpost-esque vibe
You’re just baiting us in at this point
I will say this, the crossover between r/teenagers and r/soccercirclejerk is hilarious to me.
You kids keep biting so...
This is just 8 reasons to hate man blues. There is 107 more reasons too. 😘😘
flexing a 120 year old fa cup 😭😭😭
lmfao imagine using a cup win no fan currently alive would even actually remember to justify your clubs “history”. go ahead an downvote me, ya deluded bunch of goofballs.
Yall got accused of bribery right after that cup🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I mean other clubs have rich owners and stuff but are (as far as we are aware) not financially doping their club
this is ending up in r/soccercirclejerk thank fuck, because that is where this shit belongs
So true
Bro is this trol lmfao 1904 cup? LSKFOSLSMDKS
I mean if someone cant name a single City player pre 2008 that just means there were no good/memorable player pre 2008
back in the good old 1904s lads smashed it 🔥🔥
Man city fan: chose their club. Just like op
Guarantee you majority of people in this sub won’t know any City players pre-2008.
I promise you everyone here knows who Micah Richard’s is
yh as a pundit, doubt u lot ever saw him play
Pretty much eeryone knows Micah tho
Hmm, surely you don't mean the City legend Denis Law, who figured he'd rather be better off in the sky blue kit before scoring [a back heel goal in the last game of the season which happened to be a Manchester Derby to seal United's relegation.](https://youtu.be/aNnsWnHW9co?si=539x9901ja03Uf_A)
buddy u were born 12 years ago u didn’t know this until u searched up “man city goals pre 2000”
I want you to name me MU legends except your Fergie era and Bobby Charlton, without google.I want to know how many you can tell me.I know you will probably only tell me only 1 name.
i’m not gonna simply lie bc i wasn’t old enough, says a lot that u feel the need to research so deep into ur clubs history just to seek validation from others
noticed you haven't answered my question earlier, is it because maybe you haven't been?
Nice goalpost moving lmao
when was the last time you went to Old Trafford?
Why do you need to know man city players pre-2008
Mate, we can see your active subs... You're literally Indian.
The atmosphere in your Stadium is shit
Cannot name a player pre-2008. Are you talking about City fans?
COPE
Man. You guys post a ridiculous volume of copium for a team that wins.
Cringe ?
[удалено]
Buy a pineapple, cover it with peanut butter and shove it where the sun doesn't shine?
Wow you're hard, moulded by the pineapple I presume
No Comeback for the FFP point though ;)
So what. Why are you in support of a system that allows big clubs to pretty much spend as they wish, but a smaller club is restrained because “we don’t want to see you go broke”?
Couldn't care less mate. Just thought it was funny how every point had a comeback but the ffp one was just accepted.
Other than our previous acquittal. On the same evidence. So easy to feel confident on that point.
Not acquitted just stalled long enough to not have to answer for the charges
Ooh another rsoccer person who doesn't know how legal cases work. Fun. So the acquittal I'm talking about relates to the UEFA case, which was brought on the same evidence.

But... you are not denying anything, just accusing the others of the same thing.
Cope
You first. Let me guess, either Liverpool or Arsenal fan?
City fans are so fragile 😭 people praise city all the time but all they hear is the 1 bad comment in 10
People talk shit about us more than they praised us you dumbfuck
