На этой странице можно ознакомиться с "музыкальным" репертуаром болельщиков Манчестер Сити, который формировался на протяжении более полувека. Нетрудно заметить, что со временем стиль текстов песен, с помощью которых фаны поддерживали свою команду, существенно менялся. Если в 50-е и 60-е годы на трибунах Мэйн Роуд были популярны красивые, мелодичные песни, тексты которых очень напоминали гимны, то в 70-е они приобрели более агрессивный и прямой стиль. В 80-е и 90-е годы лирика Манчестер Сити окончательно утратила свою возвышенность, стала абсолютно приземленной, а сами песни той поры зачастую состояли лишь из нескольких строк. Можно предположить, что подобное обусловлено реалиями каждого времени. Если в 50-е поддержка футбольного клуба с просторной стоячей террасы как нельзя лучше располагала к песнопениям, то в 90-е на полностью сидячих стадионах не было и малой части той атмосферы, что в итоге напрямую отразилось на качестве суппорта. Гимн Манчестер Сити "Blue Moon" наилучшим образом иллюстрирует насколько изящной и элегантной была поддержка футбольных клубов в 50-е. В 90-е лишь песню "Wonderball", исполнявшуюся суппортерами на мотив нетленки братьев Галлахеров, можно выделить в этом плане из общей серой массы. На этой странице вы не найдете песен о Мюнхенской катастрофе 1958 года, несмотря на то, что в истории суппорта Манчестер Сити они также оставили свой след, и их до сих пор можно услышать из уст отдельных групп болельщиков команды. По мнению многих фанов, исполнение подобных вещей говорит не столько о неуважении к жертвам трагедии, сколько о неуважении к собственному клубу, ибо одним из тех, кто погиб в тот февральский день был легендарный вратарь Сити Фрэнк Свифт.
