What people sing
Blue Moon
The club anthem. Slow, familiar, and still the song that opens big nights at the Etihad.
Super City / Citizens chants
Modern terrace fare that rises when the team is rolling. Louder on European nights than on quiet league Sundays.
Who the rivals are
Manchester United
The Manchester derby. Once a mismatch, now the fight for the city, and the fixture City supporters mark first.
Liverpool
A rivalry of recent title races more than of shared streets, sharpened every time both chase the same prize.
Following them from America
Large and brand-led after years of titles, with chapters in most big American cities.
