Lesser known / Quirky records City hold

[lancs blue]

If Southampton have had an 8-0 win we must have lost the first record to them this season after their 0-9 against Leicester?

You need to check back a few posts to see where I explained that United won 2 major trophies before they left Bank Street ,Clayton for a newer stadium in Stretford.

No, sorry - I meant that it’s one record. It’s not the biggest PL win and biggest PL defeat, it’s the heaviest goals conceded that’s the same as the most goals scored.

I’m explaining it badly, but no team has scored 9 and conceded 9, scored 10 and conceded 10... one team has scored 8 and conceded 8 - and that’s City.

If Southampton won 9-something this weekend (or in future) then we’d lose that record.

Sorry- I always find this one the hardest to explain!

Only club to have the best midfielder in the world lose out to a defensive midfield Crab passing clogger to win the best player award ... ?

Wasn't our away following at Newcastle when we won the league there, supposed to be the largest away following for a league game? 18 thousand or something like that?

Only team to have won the Premier League having been 2nd in the table at some point of the final day?
Not 100% sure that's correct but I can't think of any other times the League has gone to the final day and at some point during the games positions have changed around.

Alternatively if Leicester lose 9 something they will have the record too

Maine road is the home for both City’s and the rags record attendance

rather amusingly United don't hold the record attendance at old Trafford either

Their highest win in Europe is 10-1 v Anderlect - at Maine Road

Is that because the Main Stand was full of pussies or was it because it was full of FOCs???

I,ll never forget that match..id been going home and away religiously at the Mancini time....i thought i need a break..burnley away ,silly sunday k.o time ,fuck that...i dont fancy it.so i didnt go
Then sat at a mates watching on sky sports as City tore Burnley to bits with magical football in fhe pouring rain.
Really wished i,d bin there.not one of my best decisions, ho hum.

"Silly Sunday ko time"? No wonder you missed it. The game was played on a Saturday. Typical City scored 5 at the far end!!
