A formerly Great, formerly shite, and now better than ever, football team from Manchester.
Following the clubs purchase by some rich folk, city have enjoyed a meteoric rise in the last 3 seasons reaching the sort of heights that have been sadly absent since the late 60's and early 70's, maintaining a great support through the low points, including relegation to the third tier of English football which was followed by an instant double promotion in the next two seasons.
Since then the club has moved from Maine Road to The City of Manchester Stadium and has finally started to rise to the footballing standard of the fierce local rivals Manchester United. In the 2010/2011 season Man City overcame United at Wembley in the FA cup semi final on the way to win their first trophy in 35 years and resulting in a certain banner being removed from the much quieter stadium in the city.
In 2011 City will take their first steps in the worlds most prestigious club football tournament, the UEFA champions League after achieving a 3rd place finish, level on points with Chelsea FC in second.
