Some people are born lucky, some people attain luck, some people have luck thrust upon them.
That's the story of Manchester City Supporters. Whether through our family connections, our birthplace, a chance encounter with the blues, or finding ourselves at a specific moment in time on the terraces of the now legendary Kippax, we are the lucky ones.
It's easy to follow glory. It's easy to pledge allegiance to money. But to follow City is to dare to dream the dream.
No other club in our country's illustrious footballing history has had more devoted and determined followers, and yet the rewards are often, superficially, non-existent. But at City we have something that neither money nor glory can ever conjure. We have PURE PASSION.
For those in the know. For those that have stood, or sat, side by side with fellow blues and experienced City first hand we would have it no other way.
It matters when we lose, but not as much as following City. It matters when we win, but not as much as loving City.
What doesn't matter is who comes and goes, For there is only one City; Manchester City.
And in the beautiful game, there is only truly one beautiful Club.
And, no matter who pulls on the shirt on any given day, no matter what the result, or what league or cup we're in there is a single truth:
City, the best team in the land and all the world.

Of course its true, what you have written will never change. What has changed is the mass media and ease at which it is possible to question such things. You yourself for more years than i care to count have believed this, you live love and breathe city, and in reality all that has changed is that the ownership of our club has changed. We as football fans are in the same boat as 7 or 8 clubs in the top flight who have had their clubs bought by foreign investors. While this to us may not be the ideal scenario, it is in the modern era a fact of life. The only way to change this would be if one of us bought the club. While this isnt going to happen, we have to accept our lot and just rejoice that city are still city and we get to see them play week in week out and still love the blues no matter what. We still are "the best team in the land in all the world" we are blue and will always be. Put your doubts asside russ, you are blue for life.
