The old ones are the best mate :) !
Remember them all well. Went absolutely crazy when Tommy Booth got that last minute winner against Everton at Villa Park, especially after it looked as if our chance had gone when Gordon West saved that Neil Young piledriver with his shoulder!
 
Aguerooo!
2011 Cup Final.
1956 Cup Final.
Winning the league at Brighton.
1-0 v Birmingham to get promotion.

(but these memories can change from month to month same as "top five songs/books/films do.)
 
So many to choose from but surprised no one (that I’ve noticed) mentioned fa cup Leeds away with the pitch invasion? Wasn’t there myself but to have been there must’ve been bonkers.

1-0 vs Birmingham to get promotion.
Tense game but wasn't it the Blackburn gig following weekend when we finally got promoted?
 
Aguerooooo
Dickov 2-2 Gillingham
Dzeko makes it 6
RODRI!
It's Dickov Again! Blackburn 4-1
 
1. Gillingham playoff final - nothing will ever top that feeling. Got to meet Horlock years later and made him aware of what that team meant to so many people. Love that team to a man. Legends. In our darkest moment, they never gave up.

2. QPR title win. Magical day.

3. 2-3 loss against United in the FA Cup 11/12, Kompany sent off. The way City battered them in the second half with 10 men, it felt like the tide turned that day, despite the blips that followed later that season.

4. Spurs 4-1 17/18. Took a friend who is a Port Vale fan. He left the stadium breathless. Truly relentless that day, with Mangala at the back!

5. Yaya Toure - anytime he felt like winning the game. Colossus of a player, on his day, the best in the world in his position, in my opinion.
 
Aguero vs QPR aftermath in 2012
FA Cup semi-final aftermath 2011 (and final, group it together)
Champions League final aftermath in 2023
Watching the 6-1 outside the Etihad, laughed through all of added time at the end
Villa 3-2, could sense it coming as soon as Rodri scored
 
1-semi final against ipswich!
2-charlton athletic 5-1
3-man utd 6-1
4-qpr 3-2
5- real madrid 4-0
 
In the order they spring to mind...

1. The 5-1. Clive Allen was out, they had the most expensive central defender ever. Couldn't see us scoring.

2. The 10-1. Being slightly disappointed at 9-1 that we weren't going to get double figures.

3. Gillingham. Head in hands, another season of watching Wycombe and Colchester. Then being pissed off at typical City, doing too little too late, when Horlock pulled one back.

4. Blackburn away. Seeing the traffic was quiet in the way up and thinking maybe there wouldn't actually be all that many blues there. Getting to that pub that's set back a bit on the main road and realising the roads were quiet because every fucker was already there.

5. Istanbul. We're going to lose this, we're going to lose this, they're going to get one and stick 11 behind the ball and Haaland's been quiet and De Bruyne's off and we won't break them down....

Jeez, just realised no QPR or Villa....erm, those two top two!

That spurs 4-1 win was truly magical.we were on a different planet playing football from the gods.a truly proud moment for any Blue.
Spurs got absolutely smashed at The Lane.

Agree 're Yaya Toure.
