Watching the 07-08 season review video tonight and there was one of those perfect gif moments where I had to stop in the middle of it and just make it. Hope you enjoy lol.

Had that as signature in forum was on at time.the rag anger was brilliant
 
Just watched that YouTube clip - my memory must be fading - it wasn't that sunny after all!

I do remember sitting in virtually the same seat as I did for the QPR game - underneath the South Stand scoreboard.

You may be thinking of the derby the season previous, also known as The Michael Ball Show...
 
+1

Can't remember a better performance by a CB in a derby, save maybe Wiekens. Thought at the time, why is he playing FB he will be our, and England's CB for years, oh dear, I'll get my coat.

You should have been correct imo.

We fucked up. Played him too much in what became a struggling side, next to Richard Dunne & then written off as a cb, due to a period of lost form.

Richards then would have more chance of stopping someone like Mbappe, than Kompany now imo. Remember seeing him v Henry & was as good as anything Henry had faced.
 
Micah never had the concentration levels to be a centre back, he did a good job at wing back until he stopped tracking back and then became injury prone allowing Pablo to stake his claim as number 1 RB/WB and Micah never really got fit enough to challenge him again.

Good watch. Rare appearance from sick note Bojinov


Sick note bojinov wow that's a bit on the harsh side, two nasty injuries he had, sick note paints such a different view on it, like somebody malingering with a bruised toe etc

Was that the game he picked up an ACL injury following an aerial challenge? Think it was near the halfway line close to the CB.

Edit: just watched it and I was right re the ACL :)
 
Remember buying Bojinov on Fifa when I was about 14, before he came to City. Really liked him, the Bulgarian giant, was ace on my manager game. So when City bought him that summer I was of course glad. Shame it never worked out with all his injuries. In the United game, wasn't that his first game after another bad injury, achilles? Such an unlucky guy, and a shame it didn't work out for him.

No. It was his first start for us.

He'd only arrived that summer as one of eight Sven signings.

He suffered another long-term injury just as he'd recovered from this one.

I remember listening to Radio Manchester on the way home and one lad came on and said something like, "I thought we did well to win because we tend to struggle against teams in the relegation zone!"
 
What a croc if shite!

If you manage to get through the whole article I'll give you credit.

But this is just one of many examples of what City and every club are up against regarding Journalists and the media in general when it comes to 'the Special One' and United.

When in reality United beat a very young and poor AJax team, regardless of the tactical genius of Jose?? And let's be honest, United weren't much better on the night either, having watched the match.

Not even gonna bother - Their UEFA cup win was a farce, they didn't play ONE decent team, and really struggled against the weak teams they played – I can't remember a weaker Europa leage... UEFA desperately wanted them in the CL, that's clear – that said, I would have loved us to win it!!!

It's very noticeable how the media are spinning their PR... it usually washes over me now, i'm so used to it – but they are really kissing their arses at the moment!
