🎥 The story of Manchester City and the inflatable bananas.
🍌 Manchester City fans have sneaked hundreds of inflatable bananas into Anfield’s away end today, reviving a tradition sparked by striker Imre Varadi’s “Imre Banana” nickname after relegation in 1987.
It's a nod to their time in the lower leagues and with another potential drop looming, the travelling supporters are seeing the funny side.
It's got nothing to do with the Gerrard slip.

No, we are not selling our players. No, we are not getting relegated. No, we are not being stripped of our titles. Not one of them.
I'm a very calm man. And I'm calm because I've seen this film before. In 2020, UEFA handed us a two-year Champions League ban and the whole world danced on our grave. We took it to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, laid out our evidence, and the ban was overturned. The same people celebrating then went very quiet very quickly.
This club will fight tooth and nail, exactly as it did then. There's a right of appeal, there's a legal team among the finest in the game, and there's a board that has insisted from day one that it holds a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence. They didn't build this club on luck, and they won't defend it on luck either.
So let the rivals write their headlines. Let them pencil in the relegation, the fire sale, the asterisks. We've heard it all. What they never understand is that pressure doesn't break this club, it sharpens it.
We are going to prevail. Citeh till I die.
