Barren Spells

Postby Beeks » Tue Feb 08, 2011 10:19 am

Just saw this posted by a City fan on the MEN

It shows the barren spells of all the clubs in the Premier league and makes a mockery of the '34 years' banner

Liverpool.................24 years
Everton..................24 years
Tottenham..............30 years
Man City.................34 years
Aston Villa...............37 years
Sunderland..............37 years
Man Utd..................37 years
Newcastle...............41 years
Wolves...................41 years
West Brom..............42 years
Arsenal...................44 years
Bolton....................49 years
Chelsea..................50 years
Blackpool................66 years
Blackburn................67 years
West Ham...............69 years
Wigan....................78 years
Birmingham..............88 years
Stoke....................109 years
Fulham...................131 years

It means that through their history Arsenal have gone 44 years without winning a trophy

Thought so. But as it stands, they have won a trophy in the recent history and we haven't. I'd rather bring up this table when we have a trophy in our hands again

Are Wigan only 78 years old? I'm certain they've never won a major trophy. They were non-league about 20 years ago.

It's a sort of 2 dimensional table. Points to the left and the odd - is less games played.
3 pts for a win narrow things.

Funny ain't it...How the rags, media and even many City fans have this stupid belief that the rags were always the big successful club.
They won their 1st honours on the back of taking almost half a team of CITY players after they had been banned from playing for City in the 1900s.
After that, their greatest success was dodging the fuclin bailiffs and digging out enough money to pay a pittance to their players.
It only changed post ww2, after City had allowed them to play at Maine Road (worst thing we ever did) and the post war City fans turned up in droves, thus financing their rebuilding under Busby.
In the 1920s, we even vetoed another Manchester club from entering the league to save their existance.
In the 1900s, City officials and players turned up and donated money to them at a fuclin "jumble sale", the rags were holding to raise money.

I never get tired of telling them that they have now returned to their roots and their true heritage....MASSIVE DEBT.

City fans should understand just how big our club was back in the day and also understand that we are returning to our roots and heritage....GLORY....and...SUCCESS. It's how it always was.

Hahaha I get it now. I just don't get how it's more straightforward than a normal league table.Takes up more room and gives you less information. You absolute nutjob - what a waste of five minutes!

Come on, John. You of all people should be old enough to remember that football only began in 1992/93.

Doesn't the rags include two world wars? Infact i wonder how many other of those include two world wars which would knock 10 years of them.
