juanpabloangel18 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 We all know we have the best fans in the world and manager Roberto Mancini is building the team our supporters deserve. Loyalty, commitment, passion and, during the darker times, a sense of humour has been needed over the years to follow the Blues – that’s what we affectionately call City - but expectation and optimism have now been added to those qualities. Success means we’ll be welcoming a new generation of City fans from here in England and all over the globe, too, and when our new followers come on board, they’ll be welcomed with open arms into our ‘family’. Champions League qualification and the FA Cup Final will mean hundreds of thousands of people will adopt the Blues as their chosen side and with that in mind, here is a guide to help ‘newbies’ bluff your way through the televised games, with your mates down at the pub or actually at a game. So long as you’ve got City in your hearts, we want your support – and if you are watching City (there’s only one City, by the way!) take on Stoke at Wembley on Saturday and you’ll be cheering us on for the first time in the new Carlos Tevez home shirt you’ve just bought on-line, this is stuff you need to know. As they say on the evening news sports results round-up, if you don’t want to know the following - or more likely if you already know (!), look away now. Our fans’ anthem is Blue Moon, a song written 67 years ago by Rogers and Hart and adopted in or around 1989. Though we don’t sing the whole song – just the chorus - Blue Moon echoes out when the players are need of an uplift or when we we’ve just scored. If asked where we play our football, it’s the City of Manchester Stadium – also nicknamed Eastlands due to the area of Manchester it is in. It’s worth noting that from 1923 to 2003 we played our home games at Maine Road Traditionally, we don’t like red as a colour – unless it forms part of a red and black striped away kit the team have worn periodically over the years If you are asked who your favourite players are from down the years – your credibility is at stake here – don’t say Francis Bell, Colin Summerbee and Yaya Dzeko though these names exists, they are combinations – have a good scan over the club website and check out who the current favourites are and who the club legends are and take notes! And, if we score against Stoke and some more experienced Blues (ahem!) around you ask you to join in a ‘Poznan’ , don’t say ‘Sure, make it a double with ice’, simply turn your back to the screen or the pitch, put your arms around the shoulders of the people on either side and jump up and down. Simple! Watch the experts in action first! Poznan dance Incidentally, it’s called The Poznan because City played a team called Lech Poznan earlier this season and their fans did the same dance – we just named it in their honour! This is our first FA Cup Final since 1981, so don’t try and bluff your way through historical facts. The last trophy we won was in 1976 so again, get this right or you’ll arouse suspicion. There may be the odd person who tries to trip you up with the terms ‘massive’ or ‘Man City’ – please ignore these are we are now accepting these words in general club usage! Of course, in the fullness of time you’ll pick ‘The Knowledge’ and become a diehard City fan just like the rest of us. Until then, we hope the above is of some use!

What bollocks. Hundreds of teams in Eastern Europe have that dance. Pathetic tossers. I don't get what your problem with the above statement is. Are you suggesting that Lech Poznan didn't introduce the dance to Manchester City fans this season or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddybloke Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Seems like they are mocking the glory fans with this so actually fair play to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2011 That is hilariously awful. And I hate the Poznan. Not because of the name, just because they act as if they invented the **** thing. It would make my year if we had a similar game with them that we had against everton. That infamous last minute winner. They equalise in the last minute (in fact Lescott again would be perfect). Then while they're doing the stupid Poznan and not watching, we'd be running down the other end and winning it with the last kick of the game.

chappy Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I can't tell if they are trying to be facetious with that article, but if so I don't think it's worked. Ridiculous. edit: brilliant, my 1000th post was about Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I personally can't wait. **** hope its us that does it (although it would probably be more universally funny if it was against ManUre - last minute winner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Just had a quick rifle through their bluemoon site (yes Im that bored). Seems Tevez is probably off in the summer, whilst the guesstimated net spend at the club is again likely to top £100m. This coming from some ITK guy who everyone creams over a la MYSTERYMAN, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 yeah the sun said the same thing but with iniesta, apparantly the only only thing stopping iniesta from joining city was that he wanted xavi to go with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
