"Red ridicule?"

Even during the darkest days-what City fan ever really cared what banal comments any of the plastics,no-nowts and armchair clowns ever came out with?

Bantering with the average "Sky-rag" was tantamount to having a jousting contest with a man without a horse.

The facts are that the "couldn't find it on a map,where's my season ticket for the pub" rag fan base has been the footballing definition of the word "ridicule" amongst fans of other clubs for decades.
