Whats the sudden craze in nick-naming everything and everyone?!!!First it was John O´Flynn and now city. I´m perfectly happy with "city" or "the leesiders" and "rebels" has been used a few times. A nickname is something people use, not what might sound good and we have an identity as city so why change it. Look at sunderland- "the Black Cats"- fcukit, where did they pluck that one out of!!!!!
Squad numbers- Lennox said something about them in the future. I think they´re great for merchandising but I´m not a big fan. If you´ve a settled team, you don´t need them anyway.
This "Citizens" thing seems to be the preserve of the match programme as far as I can see, never actually heard people using it when talking, but am open to correction.
Black Cats was the sunderland nickname years and years ago... the fans re-adopted it and then the club followed suit.....Originally posted by Éanna

If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
ok, well that explains that. but my point is, the idea of picking a nickname is crazy. a nickname is supposed to be what you´re known as popularly- it develops over time. you don´t just decide it!Originally posted by Macy

No correction needed, you're right. It's only something used in the programme. Besides, I don't think anyone would know who you were on about if you called City the Citizens. What a crap nickname anyway.Originally posted by Éanna

Murphy Out Now!!!
I knmow some people not keen on squad numbers but city don't exactely have a massive squad so we'd be unlikely to see numbers 41 & 42 playing up front.
IMO the whole league should introduce squad numbers as the Sky bar stoolers are used to it & would help people get to know the players better & quicker.
On the other hand i kinda miss the commenst from those pople wondering who the number 4 (or whatever) when hes played for the club for 10 years.
