The Dan Sai Kid Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Since this sub-forum is going to be re-named the Football Forum (I think) I thought it would be good to start by saying which team(s) you support. I'm from Scotland, and support Aberdeen - but I've also followed Man U since Fergie went there in the 80's. PS. Don't like Rangers or Arsenal.

Spit the Dog Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well I was born and bred in Falkirk and have remained loyal to my hometown team unlike others in the town who travel to watch the bigot brothers through in Glasgow every week. In England, I've always had a soft spot for Newcastle United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe1912 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 coming from Liverpool there is only one team to support - Everton. We already caused all the interesting incidents at the world cup - Rooney and Materazzi applying Moyes training techniques to perfection. And now that we have actually bought a forward that can score goals (Andy Johnson) then I can see no reason why we wont be winning the league again. OK just going back to my pit to sleep off the halcahol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we instead call it football (with no girlie padding or motorbike helmets) forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't the foggiest But this is from wikipedia The current club crest was adopted in 1997, a result of the previous crest being ineligible for registration as a trademark. The badge is based on the arms of the City of Manchester, and consists of a shield in front of a golden eagle. The shield features a ship on its upper half, representing the Manchester Ship Canal, and three diagonal stripes in the lower half. The bottom of the badge bears the Latin motto Superbia in Proelio, which translates as Pride in Battle. Above the eagle and shield are three stars.

Did Man City actually come up with the idea for adorning team badges with stars? Aberdeen have 2 stars above their badge - one for the Cup Winners Cup and one for the European Super Cup - most European trophies of any Scottish team! I'm not going to hold my breath til the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Have the stars always been there? No, the old crest is in the post above. You replied whilst i was editing the post Did Man City actually come up with the idea for adorning team badges with stars? Maybe, i don't recall seeing any other crests with stars prior to 1997. Maybe wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 still no answer on the stars. i think they represent each decade without winning out. 30 years and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sing_Sling Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 ouch, ouch, ouch . . . Mr Bojangles getting slapped from all over . . .

mrbojangles Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 still no answer on the stars. Nope, i've searched the internet but to no avail. So i've just e-mailed the club. I vaguely remember someone telling me when it first came out but i can't remember. i think they represent each decade without winning out. 30 years and counting. I think my version of "one for every goal we put past you at home this year" is more believable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 ouch, ouch, ouch . . . Mr Bojangles getting slapped from all over Nah, that's not a slapping sing_sling, we haven't even begun yet But if anyone can help search the net for what the 3 stars are for, i'd appreciate it. As above, i have e-mailed the club but i think there is more of a chance that Robbie Fowler will run 100 mtrs in under 5 minutes, than me getting a reply To make life easier for you, I guess you could just join the rest of the ManU fans who joined them because they are successful . . .
