About this deal

Over the course of Stuart Pearce's final season as manager, City scored a paltry 10 goals at home in the Premier League, with none coming after New Year's Day 2007.

Here at City Is Ours , we thought we'd rattle through a few things that only City fans will understand. One thing led to another, and before he knew it inflatable bananas had become a part of City folklore. A group of friends learned of the suicide of a friend while on a stag party in Amsterdam. Upon returning, one of the group paid tribute with a short speech: He borrowed a five-foot inflatable banana off a toy-collecting friend and took it along to Maine Road for City's game against Plymouth Argyle. Owing to the wildly contrasting fortunes that the Blues have experienced over the past 127 years, City fans have experienced things that many will never understand.Go on a City away day and you'll likely see a few inflatable bananas in amongst the travelling support. Writers and presenters who share your passion for the blue side of Manchester will be producing written, visual and audio content to reflect the mood in the stands as well as the press box.

In November 2011, City enjoyed a fairly routine 3-1 win at home to Newcastle, in a season that would end in Premier League glory.The story goes that in 1987 - a time when English football was in a dark place due to hooliganism and multiple stadium disasters - one City fan, Frank Newton, decided to try and brighten the mood.

Just like you, we can’t get enough of Manchester City! That’s why we’ve decided to supplement our expansive City coverage on the Manchester Evening News with a more fan-oriented platform catered specifically to City fans - City Is Ours. Rival fans often question why bananas - the answer is the same for most things City fans do: why not?

In his book We never win at home, we never win away, veteran City fan Don Price explains that the tune isn't even a football song, but began as a tribute to the tragic death of a friend.

Manchester City is no ordinary football club, which means that being a City fan is no ordinary pastime. That tally is a record low for any Premier League club and ensured that City fans will never again complain about scoring goals becoming boring.
