Do you have a favourite ever goal?

[johnnytapia]

The cherry on top of an unbelievable performance. The sheer joy in The Kippax was breathtaking.

2nd goal was pandemonium on scale rarely seen since.

 

[johnnytapia]

If you watch the video and the replay of Goat nicking the ball. When the original long misplaced pass is played, Goater is in an offside position
I wonder if VAR was around then they'd have disallowed it!

Yep. No proper celebration but hey, as @BlueHammer85 will aver, “it’s progress”.

2nd goal was pandemonium on scale rarely seen since.

Certainly not since VAR royally ruined the art of going bananas when the ball hits the net. Oh, hang on, someone’s trodden on someone’s toenail twenty minutes ago - we need to check this…

Hinchcliffe’s in the Maine Road Massacre.

Ian Brightwell's in the return same season.

My instant thought was brightwell, don't know why.can still remember the commentary "like a arrow into the top corner you beauty".
Non city goal...Paulo di canio volley for west ham.

2nd goal was pandemonium on scale rarely seen since.

I was just thinking about those rare moments when we score, and then score again.

Obviously the Morley goal in the 5-1, but also the Simpson effort in the 5-1 v Charlton and Vonk's FA Cup header at QPR

All three goals were huge and Pandemonium is the right word.

However for sheer technical brilliance I'd still go for Bernardo's first goal v Real Madrid in the 4-0, and the way that City pulled Vinicius Junior out of position.

Vonk at QPR was fantastic. Great day out. Just after White blew the net off for the first. We rode our luck that day and I thought maybe, just maybe, it could be our year…

Bernardo away at Villa.

Just a beautiful, beautiful goal.

Yep, that would be my favourite too .... that move and finish were just poetry in motion.

 

[Silva Citizen]

Favourite - Yaya v United 2011 semi - the shift of power game.

Best - joint - Nicolas Jensen v Leeds - Power v Ipswich FA cup semi ‘81

 

[Tevez City]

Yaya vs United in the FA Cup semi final

 

[jamesha]

It's not my favourite but now this goal makes me smile - "Typical City" personified.

 

[blueandy1mac]

Too many to chose from, a couple of standouts LC final '76 from Tueart for years I thought that would be the only thing I'd ever see us win, Kernaghan v Leicester, KInky v Soton, Elarno freekick v toon, McKenzie v Spurs in the FA replay, Jim Melrose fro the halfway line v Notts Co, Yaya v Villa, Ireland away at Hamburg...... there are many more but .....

93:20 has to be the winner.

Totally agree, saw all of these apart from Irelands at Hamburg, still walking up the steps thanks to 2 effing stewards sending me all round the houses, but its sergio first and forever.

 

[coos]

That lovely half-volley from Zabaleta as part of a gritty, man of the match performance in a 1-0 win against Wigan in 2009. I look back on it as the "birth of a legend" moment for my favourite City player.

 

[yankblue]

Vassell vs Sunderland. 2008. Absolute beauty

 

[NZBlue]

Do you remember when we could actually beat spurs?

 

[Scottyboi]

KDB 1 nil against Chelsea away, we completely dominated them and the way he hits the ball it's like he was asserting dominance over them. How it only ended 1 nil ill never know.

 

[elbearos]

Do you remember when we could actually beat spurs?

My first Maine Road match, the Peter Barnes chip was fantastic!

 

[SatOnTheWall]

Non-City: Demba Ba at Klanfield. Chortle.

I am going to try and remember some great moments that haven’t been mentioned so far.

City:
Wanchope header v Newcastle
Emile Mpenza at Boro
David Phillips v Carlisle
David Phillips v Shrewsbury
Kinky v Villa at home - finally a win!
Clive Wilson’s equaliser v the scum
Nasri v Sunderland at Wembley
Vonk v Ipswich when the match was called off
Alan bloody Kernaghan’s only contribution to MCFC.
Whitey’s off the post at Villa
Berkovic at inbred Ipswich
Dzeko’s fantastic header at tottenham

Jim Melrose v Notts County.

It was also the same day that I represented Manchester City Football Club for the only time.
