Who?

Anyway, Tony Dunne played for us, as did Jason McAteer and Owen Coyle, so I expect us to have millions of Irish fans.

The English clubs take all the good ones. Shamrock Rovers in Europe this season, Celtic and Rangers aren't. 8)

Gareth Farrelly too, and Joey O'Brien.

One might be tempted to suggest that its got f*ck all to do with Irish links, and more trophy links.

McAteer is a gobshite. Owen Coyle is Scottish. This is when the good ol' Granny rule comes into play.

Nice try but City won the title once in the 60's, Utd won it twice...

No, I'll support any player who wears the green shirt. McAteer is a gobshite though. I wouldn't mind if Coyle eventually became the Ireland manager. He'd hopefully give some of the youngsters a chance.

...and Utd also won an F.A. Cup and a European Cup during the same decade. I can't believe you don't know any of this if they're your team, or did you jump on the bandwagon after the 25 years without a title?

You, sir, are an awful troll. Wait, what? We won a European Cup in the 60's? And here was me thinking that we won our first European Cup in 99. Wow.

You're the one trying to pretend that it was a tough choice between City and United for the glory hunters back then. It wasn't. The League Cup was nowhere near as prestigious as the F.A. Cup. Even Third Division teams like QPR and Swindon won it prior to City. As for comparing the Cup Winners Cup to the European Cup, that's a bit like comparing the Johnstone's Paint Trophy to the F.A. Cup.
