Have been incredible. So many unforgettable memories. What a fucking ride it’s been!

The 1996/7 and 1997/8 squads in three and two for me. The latter, just edging it. With that season under Stuart Pearce resolutely in first. No positive characters. Apart from Micah. Such an uninspiring group of players.

…the only substantial thing this country still has to be legitimately proud of?

Reckon I’ve relived those more in my head these last few weeks than I did Sergio’s goal in the summer of 2012. And that was on high repeat! It’s definitely up there with pretty much anything I’ve experienced watching City. The stadium was alive. The noise for the third was incredible. The...

Which was your favourite title run-in? For me, really close call. 2019 was my favourite title win prior to this season just gone, but I’m now really undecided. In 2019, we were like a machine. And we had the Kompany goal. And the last day at Brighton was magical. The whole day. What a place to...

Will blues please stop saying this about Liverpool. We currently hold this record. Why surrender it with such relish? It’s an amazing part of our...err...history. It’s the record that best encapsulates our club’s narrative. So, fuck off with giving our crown up so readily!

...what’s your order of preference? For me: 1. 2019 2. 2012 3. 2018 4. 2014

Is there a better domestic footballing achievement on record? 14 necessary wins at the business end of the season to win the league, as well as every other domestic trophy available. Truly incredible. Anything to rival it domestically over a season? Maybe Forest in 1978. Some might say...

From life on the outside. Apart from City, obviously. I miss travelling round the country on trains. And pubs. Think it will be a while before I drink in another one, sadly.

Keith Floyd. Unless there have been any 'revelations' of wife beating in recent years, obviously. Oliver Reid too. And an honourable mention for Delia. All got dark sides, obviously. Especially Delia.

Vinny’s against Leicester has to be up there, as does Gundog’s in the home Derby, both last season. Two incredible goals. For me, Peter Barnes’ goal against Spurs has to be up there. At 1:08. Amazing goal. What’s yours?

Just read about this guy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kingston Incredible. What an amazing life he led. Never heard of him before, and I’m a big fan of the Tudors, although not creepily so. Got any personal examples? From someone who was related, heard about a guy who was a...

If you’re going to have an honours system then surely this guy deserves a gong for his services to Manchester football. Has anyone ever done more across both clubs, other than Busby? A true Mancunian and a survivor.

Thinking of going next year. I’m wondering what it’s like in the winter? Where else is there to visit other than Seoul? Do most people speak English? TIA.

and the reason? Me? A pitiful 8. A mixture of responses to what I’d posted on a couple of threads. Nothing too racy. Have you done anything to warrant a ridiculous number of alerts? btw The amount of time you spend in here will play a part too, of course. Has anyone come back after ages to...

Or in six hours? Simply can’t have both, trying (slowly) to lose weight. Which one? - same calories btw (about 1,200) ‘Now’ involves a 24 hour Tesco, with all the choice that provides; six hours is a good brekky place: great soda bread, Cumberland sausage and poached eggs. The agony of...

Assuming I don't die of a heart attack in the next 24 hours from consuming about 6,000 calories a day, does anyone know of a good bar to watch tomorrow's game? We're staying in the French Quarter, but we have wheels and we don't arrive until tomorrow morning from the east, so we can detour en...

If the internet was to end tomorrow, and somehow civilisation didn’t collapse as a consequence; how much do you think you would miss it? I know I’d really struggle. It’s become such an integral part of my daily routine. Would any of you prefer that scenario?

Has there been anything quite like it as a footballing story? The way it twisted and turned; and what an ending!

a better set of penalties?
