I can see how someone could read it in that way, but I read it to be in a more jovial way. I suppose Majaco could tell us if he wants too. It's really not that important though either way “Read into it whichever way want to”? Again, he literally accused the other poster of being disrespectful and said the term was annoying him and passively aggressively asked the other poster what planet he was on. There is not really a way that can be read as being “jovial” tbh, you don’t say it’s annoying and say something is disrespectful “especially as a Leicester fan on a Leicester forum” in that way as “a joke”.

Popular Post Scotch Posted 22 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 22 July 2023 DEALS OFF!! Stephy feels like he was misled as he was initially made aware that the interest was from "City", painted his whole house sky blue and started following Noel Gallagher on Twitter. Rudkin refuses to reimburse him for the 14 tins of paint and the Definitely Maybe album he ordered on Prime, there was a big argument and Mavididi walked away from negotiations. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a Norwich United or a Birmingham Athletic or got that matter a Leicester Rovers in the Championship that needs the distinction. Man City are commonly called just City to distinguish them from the other Manchester next door, yknow, the biggest football club in the world. Even in Leicester more people refer to our football club as Leicester than City. You're just being needlessly sensitive tbh, as is everyone else with the same extremely cringe worthy chip on their shoulder. Tend to agree with this. I would rather all including the media would prefer to refer to Man City rather than City but hey ho. I can understand Leicester locals saying City for our club but this won't work for those of us outside the area. I always say Leicester not City as everyone would think I meant Man City.

Popular Post Bordersfox Posted 22 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 22 July 2023 This whole thread is really getting on my nerves. The amount of disrespect shown to City is off the charts. And by City I mean Stoke City, formed in 1863 and as far as my extensive research (Wiki) reveals the original 'City' club. In future unless referring specifically to Stoke City I will be reporting any post referring only to 'City' to @davieG 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weller Wing Posted 22 July 2023 Share Posted 22 July 2023 (edited) I've always said City more than Leicester even though I don't live there. The 'who's driving to City' for the next home game, is the usual whatsapp message. Man City are known as the Citizens as well , so that's probably got something to do with it ,as well as the the 2 clubs from Manchester bit. Or maybe not😄 Edited 22 July 2023 by Weller Wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallpauldj Posted 22 July 2023 Share Posted 22 July 2023 Let's all spare a thought for Exeter City, I'm sure they will have fans saying one of two things. Are you going down the city or St James Park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Elgin City existed in various forms from 1879 though. Perhaps when referring to City as City, clarification should be included in any statements. "I am going to the King Power (the football ground not the HQ of the duty-free company sponsored by the Thai monarchy) to watch City ((Leicester not Elgin, Coventry, Truro, Manchester, Norwich, Birmingham, Wells, Stoke (that only became a city in 1926 and share a city with the Vale), or Bristol etc)) to watch them play a home game against Town. To further clarify, by Birmingham I mean the West Midland city, not the Birmingham in Alanbma. The new season needs to start now.
