The fans [edit ]
Although United fans arguably view the North West Derby as a bigger game, most City fans are agreed that United is their main competition. A bitter competition which has reignited in last few years due to the revival of Manchester City as one of the top teams in England following their abbreviated absence from the peak flight at the end of the twentieth hundred and City ‘s re-emergence as a major baseball club following their 2008 takeover. [ 45 ] Both Manchester teams are regarded as among the best teams in the world with both clubs systematically progressing to the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League in late years and both are in the top 5 of football clubs by gross with the city now viewed as a football city in exchangeable vein to cities such as Madrid and Milan, [ 46 ] [ 47 ] although City ‘s disappearance from the upper echelons of the league following their 1960s–70s flower until their recent surface has led to the two teams being regarded as polar opposites, with City seen as the nouveau riche to United ‘s old money. [ 48 ] [ 49 ] The two sets of fans are traditionally diametrically opposed to each early, with City ‘s fans accusing United of arrogance and of attempting to turn the Premier League into a close up workshop for elect clubs alone via handling of the rules [ 50 ] [ 51 ] and of the media [ 52 ] while they in twist are accused of using their petroleum money as a path to success. [ 53 ] Additionally, and in a singular twist on a cross-city competition, both clubs ‘ fans accuse each other of not representing their city, with the blue half of the city observing that their adversaries do not actually play in the city of Manchester ( in Trafford ) and consequently do not warrant their list, while the loss half alternatively argue over which team has more fans inside of the city. City fans often ridicule United fans for being tourists in a play towards United ‘s global fan base, stating that City is the club for the locals and United fans travel up from London or fly in from Europe and Asia for a day out. Following on from this City fans have often called United “Plastics” or “Glory Supporters” again in reference to their on the field dominance over several decades that made the club enormously popular with football supporters outside of Manchester. In change state, owing to the emergence of City ‘s ball-shaped condition following their 2008 coup d’etat which brought significant achiever on the field, United fans have said many “ credit card ” fans have jumped on City ‘s bandwagon. [ 54 ] [ 55 ] The most normally used name by City fans to describe their cross-city rivals is the term “Rags”, this is ascribable to a period after World War II where United were given use of City ‘s Maine Road stadium after Old Trafford had been bombed by the Luftwaffe. United at the time were then poor that they had to wear previous kits that after a while started to resemble old rags. [ 56 ] City fans refer to United ‘s stadium as “The Swamp”, whilst United call the City of Manchester Stadium, the “Emptyhad”, which is a act on the words “ Empty ” and “ Etihad ” ( the sponsored name of the stadium ), a well known anti-City match that stems from the myth that City have systematically low attendances due to sporadic visible light blue sky empty seats at some City home games.
