Doubt you've supported us since the 60s if you think this is the worst it's been.

Forget 60s, been watching us since 85 and this is water of a ducks back. I remember watching us as a kid getting thumped 7-1 at home, was it Cambridge or Oxford?

Great club? When? Have I missed something. Last trophy 1927. Last successful season in the top flight 1954.

City have taken 10 paces forward and only a couple back since the initial 'renaissance' under Sam

Never been a great club in the true sense of the word "great" but its not dire yet as there's still time to change things around(and I don't mean just this season).There's loads of people on here that seem to get off on the "trouble at Mill"syndrome and your right up there with the best of them. In fact, you are one of the(dare I say it) "greats" :lol:

I've been following the city since the late seventies and we have been alot worse than we are at the moment. For some reason posters on here believe that it was great years ago and how the life and soul has been ripped out of the club - load of Bollox. Move on ffs and stop spreading lies of how it was great "in the good old days".

I've seen on the pitch far worse seasons than this seasons,try being near the bottom of Division 4 and there for 9 years.

Off the field I the Rebrand is by far the worse we have ever been a a club.

Unless you are 100 years old we've always been shit. Apart from the odd bit of glory.
