#4 City have no history
Trending
History remains probably the most used argument or 'comeback' by opposition football fans as they attempt to take the moral high ground regarding City's success or attempts. Sadly, the majority of football supporters tend to believe the sport in England didn't exist until 1992 when the Premier League was birthed for the first time - but it did, and City were around ninety-eights before the F.A. decided to establish a league to suit the 'bigger clubs'.
City's F.A. Cup victory in 1904 was four years before Manchester United ever claimed silverware, 26 years before Arsenal were so fortunate, and staggeringly, 51 years ahead of Chelsea. Believe it or not, but "history" is not defined by success, it's a whole series of past events connected with, in this case, a club. The club has the highest recorded attendance in English domestic football when in 1934 more than 84,000 packed into Maine Road to watch City take on Stoke.
Maybe a different terminology is needed to push this argument over the line.
