Why Blue?

It takes very little to understand why Man City fans are such great fans. They are a true blue breed, people who could easily support cross town rivals that are wildly rich and successful, and yet they hang in there, fighting the dark side because they know it’s the right and proper thing to do.

I’ve been a City fan since their drop to D2. I was an American, just learning the joys of British football when I looked for a team to side with. The easy choices, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U., were not going to cut it. I wanted a team that was better than its place, a team with incredible fans, an underdog to pull for. I started following Man City that year and have followed them religiously ever since. I have to hope to see their matches on TV form time to time, but mostly listen via the Internet as Wanchope and Dunne and Benarbia and the rest have helped this team get back to where it belongs. I look forward to watching and listening to the new crew make their way in the Premiership, hopefully all the way to a European appearance and one day, a title. In the meantime, this Texan will keep watching his beloved Blues.

We love you City, we do,
We love you City, we do,
We love you City, we do,
Ohhhh City we love you.
