does anyone know wher this 'citizens' crap started?

[guv111]

I don't mind Citizens. Makes a change from City and Blues all the time. Mind you, I think it looks better written down than said.

I quite like it too, kind of unique like us and snowflakes.

I think we should actually win a prize for having three nicknames, and Liverpool should be relegated for having one crap one. I mean, "Reds". Really.

Thats a little racist isnt it, what have you got against Black French posters? Are you John Terry masquerading as a City fan?

It's like having Luis Suarez posting on here.

I just think its lucky he said black and not Negre (as in the word for the colour black) Now that would be dicey?

I think Nigels Tackle should run his posts by Evra or Anton first in future.

Tbf, we've been called that since dinosours ruled the earth & it always used to be down as our 'official' nickname but City fans haven't tended to use it since I started going in the late 60's & I don't know of any songs with it in.

This. It's a name others - especially the media way back when - use for us but we never use it. Hate it.

Our new official nickname is Moneybags. I hear it every time I watch a City game on the telly...

I seem to remember someone else making a few disparaging remarks about a "black, French" member of this board.

McLaren once called me an asylum seeker and told me to fuck off back from whence I came (not so eloquently, obviously). Luckily for him, the thread in question was deleted - but I and a few others remember it.

I don't know whether he was confused by my username or the photo in my sig. Embarassing for him either way.

We should tell everyone that's what the three stars in our crest are for.

Haha. Man I hate those fucking 'decorative' stars.

Still, if we win the league this season they're suddenly relevant. Or if we win another FA Cup. Each could stand for two.

I dont remember McLaren?

In fairness I cant understand racist football fans, banter is one thing but abuse is another, they are happy to cheer on rainbow nations on the pitch but should a polishman who works twice as hard for half the pay move in next door they go mad?

[Fullartj]

Sorry but that is disgraful stuff not knowing the nickname of our beloved team... don't let the door hit you in the ass!

[rosbif cuisson 'bleu']

not french,colour unimportant! Uninformed maybe......i thought AlouineDVToure was the real one too, but why the fuck would i go wikipedia to get info?
btw 1st game Maine road City v Juventus 1979 ..... get some balanced responses on here don't you? i shouldn't have phrased it like that but i honestly had NEVER heard it before....being expat for a fair while this is the 1st contact i've had with city fans for a long time,
i'll admit to being a supporter and not a FANATIC.....

[Surrey Sky Blue]

To be fair mate there are many on here who arent die hard but the phrase...

"Citizens "crap" "

Is probably not the best way to phrase a question when you dont know the answer.

Something along the lines of

"where did this Citizens name spring up from"

Pretty sure all on here are happy to help, but a sweeping statement like yours is bound to rile a few.
