This thread reminded me of away games ( I think Pompey and Stoke) where we started the Ball out chants and the whole of the home fans joined in. God I loathed Ball

Absolutely loved this. Binge watched the lot in one go. Only slight ( and it is slight) criticism is why did they have to show a certain game from 1999 - and a club who shouldn’t be mentioned at all except in Derby games - lifting a trophy of which we are the current holders. No need for them to...

The thing is with this "knock them off their perch" quote from the Govan PC is that he says he said it ... but no one remembers it at the time he allegedly said it. It was never in the news till years later, and then it became Gospel because he claimed it to be so. I don't believe a word of...

This and only this!. Over the years I ve been in plenty of scrapes where I ve been helped out - Middlesboro / Everton / Liverpool in particular away over the years, and I ve helped others out when needed. Yes that night and the result was one of the greatest nights (not just sporting nights of...

I ordered a commemorative shirt a few years ago. It took forever not to turn up ( which is not unusual for stuff Manchester to Sydney). I contacted them to ask whether it was ever going to show. I was told as I hadn’t contacted them before 60 days there was nothing they could do. They had no...

I took a few non City mates to that. One of them had never been to any game before and I don’t think he’s been since. I wonder if he thinks that happens at every City game

And it was 6 and a half when Rice scored

Had to be done

Such fond memories of that song I brought the “lyric sheet” to Istanbul

“We Are Impeccable” “You’re The Shit of Manchester” “Just like the Scousers … You Live in the Past” “USA USA USA” “United United Not For Sale” “Champions of England … Champions of Europe” “Are You Watching Ferguson” “TenHaags at the Wheel” “You’ve Seen The Champions Now Fuck Off Home” God I...

Was there last week and there’s a massive Erling billboard for Breitling in the centre of town

I’ve said it before and I ‘ll say it again the system is not fit for purpose. End of. Never seen so many complaints about a service where customers are desperate to hand over their hard earned money and treated with contempt because the powers that be do not invest In the infrastructure. Since...

I ve met Alex a couple of times and agree that he is a lovely bloke. When I started my City journey I loved the fact that we had local lads Alex, Clive Wilson , and Dave Bennett playing for us. I never understood why black players would get booed by opposing fans and I was happy to see some of...

Must admit Bayern at home I was cold and soaked through and gave up on the trams and walked back into town. We could learn at lot from the Sydney set up.

Just heading back from Stadium Australia having watched the Australian Women’s Team knock out the Danish. Took all of 10 minutes from leaving the 75784 crowd to getting into the bus queue and another 5 to get on the bus back into Sydney town centre. Lighting everywhere, loads of stewards, all...

The beauty of them closing the fan park bar 3 hours before kick off, combined with a 90 minute wait in the food and bev queue in the ground , and a complete lack of water available on a warm and balmy night in the Ataturk, and a long march to and from the buses meant that the ability of most to...

This was the moment for me. An amazing turn and run from our home grown hero, with the club since he was a nipper, and scoring the goal to seal our Champions League win. That would have absolutely topped off the journey that began Oct 22 1979 with a true champagne moment. And it would have...

This one for me was the precise moment I knew we had landed in the proverbial S#&%Show. If you believe that playing Garry could have given us just one more goal or one more point, then why the hell would you countenance a sale? Blind to the fact that we weren't too good to go down. The powers...
