I was also there . Terrible day . Grown men crying on The Kippax. Visceral hatred of Luton T ever since ( sister and nephew are ST holders so great at family gatherings )

Think there were plenty of rags in the Luton end too. The cunts have always been obsessed!

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Betrayed the whole Gareth Southgate era ffs.

we currently have an Irish manager/coach.

Betrayed the whole Gareth Southgate era ffs.

The football journalists in this country will get the appointment they deserve.
Which rules out Pep.
The thick cunts.

They really know how to polish a turd making GPC being fucked off into framing it as a mutual decision.

Since when did the word "eloquent" mean "unintelligible"?

Perhaps he's using the word "betrayal" in a similar manner? i.e. the total opposite.

No wonder Steph Houghton was baffled.

Unfortunately the FA swallowed "the easy logic of club football" thirty two years ago when they failed to negotiate a more robust and overarching financial and regulatory agreement with the clubs when the PL was formed . Too busy getting one over on the Football League to see that the cartel driven PL would henceforth be about unfettered self interest and the national team / grassroots football could go fish .

The Luton game is one of the worse days in our history. I also can remember grown men shedding teats on the Kippax. One of the worst days in City's history.

You might want to correct the above ;)

Many a teat has to fall...but it's all, ..in the game.

I cried as an 18 year old....the next time was the Stoke final.

We should have had Areola in nets that day.

Awful day, such a shock because I’d never known us be relegated and there was never any real prospect of us going down until that final day.

I remember being in the car with my old man after the game driving back up Lloyd St and it all suddenly dawned on me and I started crying. Stoic as ever, he goes “don’t be upset son, it’s happened before it’ll happen again”

Good advice. Of course it did happen again but I didn’t cry at a football match again until May 2011 at Wembley :-)

Whoosh.

I was also there and I disagree with you on a couple of points. Firstly scoring away in the last ten minutes to simultaneously save yourselves and relegate another team instead, the team you’ve scored against, is about as good as it gets as a football fan, especially given the relative size of the two clubs then and the journey they’d been on through the divisions.

Disagree that we were crap, relatively speaking. We’d challenged for the league the previous season and I feel that was the best City team to be relegated since we were promoted in 1966, the 1996 team running them close. We’d been mid table when John Bond resigned in January. No one was talking of relegation then. Our decline and demise was unexpected and sudden and it never ceases to amaze me that John Benson always seems to get missed off worst City managers lists, as he was a complete fucking disaster.

So it was a huge result for Luton.

Don’t care what some bitter on the radio thinks. Illey broke the cunts and that’s why they are still crying

I don't recall anyone predicting a relegation dogfight after the euphoria of Bobby McDonald keeping Watford goalless and City top of the table with a 100% record.

However our impressive start was equally unexpected as the previous season had tailed off quite spectacularly with poor results from the last 20 games and attendances regularly falling below 30,000.

I agree completely about John Benson but I also think John Bond made some short-term poor decisions and somehow we ended up with a squad that might have been considerably stronger with Bennett, Mackenzie and Palmer, plus Clive Wilson who Bond had publicly slated on a number of occasions in his match programme notes, and who never really featured until 84-85.
