When the Gods didn’t smile on us

Boro did not have a single shot in this game and beat us 0-1

 

[hello]

The 1937-38 season

Champions in 1936-37, we were the 37-38 league’s top scorers with 80 goals, won more games than the four teams above us, yet conceded 77 goals, lost 20 games and got relegated.

The only time the Champions have ever been relegated.

Some would think we are on course the repeat the feat following the Norwich game ;-)

When we were 5-0 up at burnley at h/t few years ago, the 2nd hlf monsoon stopped us scoring at least 10 that day such was the gulf in class

Wigan Fa cup final, we battered them. The sending off happened and we got suckered at the end. Don’t think those players wanted to play for their nasty manager who shouts at them that day.

Battered em? Hardly. We were dogshit that day. Summed it up when he took Tevez off and put Rodwell on!

Think it was about 1981 - League Cup SF home leg v Liverpool. Late in the game 'Pool player clearly dived for a free-kick. As the shot was taken Sammy Lee ran behind our wall dragged a City defender to the ground leaving a gap and the only goal was scored. I was behind the goal and saw Lee with a massive grin on his face.
Referee missed the dive, missed the pull and probably missed his bus home.
I still shout at the TV when Lee is on the touch line yelling and frothing. So fat he is now, result of a big mouth-hole and small bum-hole

Yeah and Alf BASTARD Grey disallowed Reeves goal for a non existent foul... Was on the Kippax for that and at klanfield for 2 nd leg and Bennett hit underside of bar and came back out... Was very tasty outside and on way back to our transport home

That's not how I remember it. A poor game that nobody deserved to win. Callum Mcmanaman was the best player on the pitch by a mile.

 

[lancs blue]

Birmingham away, 97/98, not a great game but Murtaz Shelia headed in a cross in the 90th minute. Thought we'd nicked it and then the ref found SEVEN minutes stoppage time from fuck knows where and they scored twice to steal the points.

Every time we play another English side in the Champions League.

Hopefully we'll break the hoodoo this season. Or better still they're all knocked out before we can meet them.

When we got beat 3-1 by Chelsea at the Etihad in Guardiola's first season.
