    First Away Game

    Blackburn Away, April 1995, the season they won the Premier League. Looked like we'd given the rags a helping hand, but Rovers held on for the title! Seem to remember it was their only home defeat that season...? I remember Hendry scoring a screamer (of course), but we fought back to win 3-2 (I...

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    It was on Facebook, and loads of (presumably new) fans commenting away happily. I called it out as bollocks. Just such a strange list. So much wrong with it, but to includes Tuear (and so not just PL era) but exclude Lee and Bell! Just weird

    FA Cup 4th Round Draw | Tottenham (A) | Fri 26th Jan, 20:00

    You're right. I had the 11/12 Liverpool v Chelsea final only as one Top 6 team, so one more on Liverpool. But yes, it's the usual suspects. The Spurs numbers are staggering. Drawn 15 times against lower league/non-league opposition in 15 years/46 ties, next closest are Man U (12 times, but have...

    FA Cup 4th Round Draw | Tottenham (A) | Fri 26th Jan, 20:00

    For anyone interested, we're not particularly unlucky in drawing Premier League teams or "Top 6" teams in the FA Cup, although we are unlucky when it comes to drawing teams outside the Top 2 divisions, so League 1, League 2 or non-League. But there is one stand-out lucky team, and that's Spurs...

    Bournemouth (H) - Sat 4th Nov, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    First home league game for me for a couple of seasons, so looking forward to it. Hoping to see a strong team and that Erling has his scoring boots on, so we can close the goal difference gap and keep the pressure on the Londoners. And looking forward to some nice Manc beer beforehand :)

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

    We are so lucky to have a player like Haaland. He is the best striker in the world right now, and still remains well grounded. He never gives up, and missing chances seems to make him hungrier for goals. And he's not just goals, whatever anyone says - his movement off the ball creates so much...

    City football shirts everywhere

    Yes, it is. We tried to book a diving trip with them, but they were booked up. But we managed a couple of beach cocktails on their decking :) Love Vietnam too. Third visit, but first time in Nha Trang this time.

    Carabao Cup R3 Draw | Newcastle (A)

    Thanks. Better get my Cityzens membership paid just in case!

    Carabao Cup R3 Draw | Newcastle (A)

    I'm living in the NE, and wondering if this will go to "open" sale for us. I'm a long-standing part-timer and only get to 1 or 2 games a season, and I know it's going to get harder and harder for me to get tickets now. I know I can get a ticket in a home stand from friends up here, but would...

    City football shirts everywhere

    Been seeing City shirts in Spain more and more over the last few years, in the Alicante/Elche region, but probably mostly Brits abroad. But the Haaland effect is clear: now Haaland knock-off shirts are on prominent display in markets, along with Messi and Mbappe, and you see a lot of non-British...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I was arguing about this with some friends last weekend, and it got me wondering whether anyone has ever done an analysis of the all the Premier League title winners and whether they would have broken current FFP rules if they had been applied at the time. I would be fairly certain that many of...

    Your very favourite City game of all time, and why?

    As a part-timer, I don't have hundreds of games to choose from, unlike most of you I presume. But I've still managed to be at some crackers. Two games that spring to mind were both Blackburn away. First one was the midweek game the season Rovers won the Premier League and we beat them 3-2...

    Player of the Season - 2022/23

    It can only be Haaland. Some players have had their best season in Blue, for sure (Stones, Jack, Ake) and KDB is just amazing, but what Erling's done is unprecedented in football. If he can't even win City's player of the season, don't go complaining when it comes to the end of the season and...

    Old Maine Road photos thread

    Been meaning to post this. It’s on the wall in my in-laws’ house in Spain. They found it years ago in a car boot sale in Torrevieja and hung it in the spare bedroom we use when we visit!

    Haaland Record Tracker

    Think Haaland's next record could be another old City record - most league goals in a season, Tommy Johnson's 38 in 1928/29.
