I know I'm old now, because I remember that like it was last week! I loved the 80/81 season, apart from that travesty of a cup final replay....

First time football made me cry,that replay,..13 years old.There was obviously going to be no escape from this love from then on..

If we win vs Everton by 2+ goals.

Not sure why I feel like this, this feels like a really big game. A win here, and it feels like we’re getting a bit of our old self back with a few wins on the spin. Best Villareal & Villa the following week and the old City might just be rearing its head. Swansea gives us opportunity to give Khusanov, Ake, Marmoush, Cherki & Kovacic a full run out. 3 league wins in a row and everyone back. Will start to put belief in ourselves and fear into others.

Looking forward to it.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Just pick Erling and any other 10 please. He is that good he could win us the lot.

I wouldn't bet your house on that scoreline - Moyes has got them playing as a unit and will be hard to demolish.
Having posted that - I hope you are right.

I was in the kippax, i think i remember Paul Power scoring at the north stand ? Oh i don't know now :(

I was in the Platt Lane, decided after seeing the Kippax queues ...the goals were at the North Stand end and the flying fists (oo-er) in the Platt Lane.

Exactly, don't recall many easy wins against Everton down the years.

We are on a very good run against Everton. In the last 27 games it’s:
P27 W19 D6 L2 F55 A20

However, going back to the final day 5-1 win in 2004, only once have either team scored more than 3 (Everton 4-0 in 2017, City 5-0 in 2021) and the winning margin has been just 1 goal either way or it’s been a draw 23 times in the 45 games since.

If we win vs Everton by 2+ goals.

Without wanting to be 'that guy' we only go top if we win by 2+ goals and Bournemouth fail to win away at Palace.

Anyway should be a good one this 3pm on a Saturday, packed out away end that will be loud, the big robot on fire and them lot with a mix of Benjani and Corradi playing up front, 2-1 City

Took a chance with Pep roulette this week for my fantasy team. Put in both Phil (no England games) and Jezza (as undroppable as it ever gets with Pep). Haaland nailed on after that nice manager rested him.
If we play with sufficient will and intensity we should win this with whatever side he picks. Going to the game as one of the few I can get to, so they better bloody score a few and win.

We have Villareal on Tuesday. Doku has a lot of international football in his legs. Will he start vs Everton and Villareal. He is an explosive player which means he is more prone to injury than some players especially when fatigued.

 

[Worsleyweb]

Win the next 31 games we are champions - simple! 30 after we beat these.

I tried it before the rag game and wasn't impressed. It took quite a while to queue up in the pouring rain to check my season ticket before I even got into the concourse area. Once in there were further queues to get inside the actual venue so I opted for a small hut selling booze to get out of the rain. It was packed and there was no discount for season ticket holders so as soon as the rain eased off I fucked off into the ground.

[Dunne's own goal]

this has 1-1 written all over it with Haaland injury to boot

No discount ? Its the same price as in the ground ?
