Favourite City game.....they didn’t win !

[tony adcock]

in this downtime I have been reminiscing with a few blues over a pint....

We all love a good win, but what about the classic matches we don’t win.

Mine is a 2-2 draw away to Huddersfield in 3rd round FA Cup in Jan 88 ( I think ! ) - nearing in mind this was a team we had stuck 10 past a few weeks earlier we travelled in large confident numbers - 1 nil up comfortable.

Then bang bang 2-1 down and time running out. We threw everything st them and couldn’t score deep into injury time we get a free kick a good 25 yards out. Gidman is over the ball - I shout ‘don’t let that red bastard take it’.....bang top corner - bedlam !! Great cup match and start of an epic cup run

Losing 4-1 I think away to Southampton in the League Cup in the early 80's. It sticks in the memory as a wet and windy night stuck in their away cage. It was horrible to watch and yet slightly compelling.

Oh...the 8-1 at Middlesbrough as well. A great weekend ruined by the score. Highlighted by a man next to me throwing up and every City fan cheering their later goals and dancing to that Pigbag tune. Utter madness in a sea of dross.

when Liverpool beat us and thought they had won the league.

We threw everything at them including a crutch at the linesman!

Still one of my favourite away days. Topped off by a hell of a long drive home. Arsenal were playing at Sunderland I think on the same day and we bumped into a few at the services at Leicester Forest East on the way home. I was fucked by this stage and had sat down on a bench. A gooner came over with a cup of tea and patted my back.

Wet and windy at Southampton? That is an understatement! I had my punk leather jacket on with Siouxsie & The Banshees painted on the back. Took days to dry out!

It's the first thing that always comes to mind thinking about that match. :-)

I'll go for the 1-1 draw at Millwall in the 3rd tier when Lee Bradbury's late equaliser shut those moronic fuckwits up.
