Sometimes or Often?

I quite agree that "often" is subjective, but if something happens more than once, which this unquestionably does, then that's "sometimes." Changing it from "often" was something I was meaning to do. Having said that, I'm not sure which sort of citation best supports the assertion - a source that incorrectly states that City relegated United, as an example of what we know to occur but also to be incorrect, or a source that says that claims that City relegated United are unfounded? I'll include the refs I have and be guided by you. Some actually say both in the same article.

I was at that game, by the way. I don't know whether Denis and the others did know that Birmingham were winning, but we were certainly doing our best to let them know. Hengistmate (talk) 11:58, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
