Mainr Road, where's that? Maine Road obviously!!

I was at both his debut , the goaless draw at Cambridge (not one of my more memorable City matches in truth!) and the 1:1 draw when he scored against the raĝs. That was some header for sure, along with Dave Watson's against Ipswich about a decade previously, it has to be one of the best headers...

That goal , and the one he got in the first ever derby at COMS when we beat the rags 4:1 are the only Macken goals I really remember for City. Both very memorable games ofcourse. His best goal in a City match was probably the one he got against us for Preston to be fair (or was it just a 'freak'...

Oh, here we go, what a surprise! ITV news show footage of the parade, which was pretty decent in truth...then right at the end, you'd never believe it would you they mention the 115 charges!!

All these people getting insults on their mobiles from United fans about there being nobody there to see our parade, it's probably just what we would have done to them when they last won the league. Actually, come to think of it, had mobile phones even been invented last time they won the League?

Who's died???

AIthough yesterday was shit from our perspective, I was thinking the same myself. The 'double double' would have been good and like the 4 in a row titles something never done before. However, had they stopped us winning the treble last season we would never have heard the last of it from them...

Yes, and 20, 30, 40 years ago etc... Yesterday was a huge anti climax as we simply didn't play well. Yesterday was made worse and more annoying by the opposition and the fact we were expected to win(although I would imagine we would have felt even worse if we'd played like that in last years...

Agree, quite a few on this forum need to get a grip. We lost to today to a shit rags team having not played well . We won the Premier League last week for the 4th time in a row. Today was very frustrating and annoying, next season we are still in the Champions League Had we lost to Gillingham...

Absolutely! We have a wonderful team who play fantastic football, for someone who saw us lose to Lincoln who saw Wycombe do the bloody double over us, it's all about perspective. You can't play that poorly in the 1st half and expect to win. Annoying that it's a shit rags team that beat us...

Have to say I agree with you. Personally, I do think there is quite a lot of over confidence on here (probably change in the match day thread!) Cup Finals don't always go to form, there was Wigan ofcourse and going back further Cov beating Spurs and Wimbledon beating the coach wreckers etc...

The 1974 World Cup in West Germany was the first tournament I remember. (A couple of years back I went to Munich and had the pleasure of seeing the Olympic Stadium with the 'spiders web roof', I think my daughter got bored of me telling her how iconic the stadium was) That Dutch team was some...

Yes, a repeat would be good 10 years on. Maybe there wasn't the same drama of other final days, but that was an enjoyable afternoon as we were so comfortable, and in truth coasted towards the end . A similair scenario would do this time, get 2 or 3 up (hopefully) and make subs and protect our...

I saw my first City game in the 70s, so have seen football evolve through the years. Much though I enjoy watching old Match of the Day, Big Match re: runs etc... football in England from the 70s/80s (and probably the 90s too) is a far inferior product to what we see today. There wasn't as much...

It didn't end the way it should have for Ya Ya did it! he didn't do himself any favours for sure. In truth, he is one of the very few of our really big names in recent years where it went a bit sour. Toure was a 'machine' that season wasn't he! Almost unstoppable at times. Personally I always...

Yes, we do have that little 'consolation prize' if it all goes tits up in the next couple of days. Obviously I'd love to see us bethe first team to win 4 in a row. If we don't ,ofcourse it will be disappointing, but at least we won't have the Klopp media love in and I still appreciate the...

In truth I don't think the actual players or managers really think like that, beyond wanting to win their own game (or fuck the season off and get on their private yachts) they probably don't think too much other teams results that aren't directly affecting them. Personally, I don't think too...

Incomplete sentence...though I did see Foo Fighters at COMS (as it was ) and have been shopping at ASDA a couple if times on a non match day....obviously, really important info I needed to add to complete my post!!

Very good point about tribute bands. Over the years I've seen a few and generally they have been pretty good (when I saw Livewire the AC/DC covers band, they had both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson singing ,something obviously not physically possible in the 'real world')As you say if a tribute...

Billy Duffy,a very underrated guitarist imo. He has always seemed proud to let people know he is a blue ,even when we were shit. Having seen them a few times down the years (on their day) The Cult were an excellent live band. Mid/late 80s was probably their peak where they did 3 pretty decent...
