Have to say you've made me feel a bit younger having read that! My first City game was 1973 and I'm 57 (I think that's my age when I last worked it out?) Of late I have very much thought of myself being in the FOC 'club' but maybe I'm more of an FMAC??

Not really one of our greats was he! The only thing I really remember about him was a last minute winner he scored against Bradford the season we got relegated to the old 2nd (proper 3rd) Division. My other memory that game was the match day programme giving a mention to one of my favourite 90s...

I wasn't at Halifax but I was actually on a bus back from Maine Road into town when the draw was made, in the days when the draw was still made on Saturday (seems strange that, now!) That day we had just beaten Derby 3:0 and someone had a 'transistor radio' ,as they were called in those days...

Cheers for that, one to have in mind for future matches if I'm thinking of a 'last minute game '(ooh, thinking about that comment, we've had a couple of very important last minute games in our not too distant past haven't we!)

I can't speak for the other places you mention but having lived in Lancaster for 20 odd years City have always had pretty solid support in these parts to be fair. Obviously though there are more kids in City shirts these days, but not being a million miles away there are a lot of 'exiles' or...

Like you, I try to treat the stewards with respect as I'd like to be if I did their job. Most of them are pleasant enough I've found but I have also come across some that just see it as some kind of strange power trip where they get off on the 'control' thing. After a recent game I got talking...

Great win that, as they were one of our main rivals for promotion if memory serves me right. Fratton Park to me always felt a bit edgy and one of those grounds where you had to be on your guard back in those days. The home support always seemed pretty vocal down there too and we had good away...

My first away game was when I went with my late dad (who told me was a '3rd generation' blue) and brother to see City at Upton Park in the season the rags got relegated (what a lovely thought that is!). One of the things I remember most was someone behind me smoking a pipe, and we were wearing...

Unlike some fans, in my experience City fans generally give ex players a decent reception, unless( like James Milner) they make dicks of themselves with their comments after leaving. Would I put either player alongside the likes of Bell,Tueart,The Goat, SWP, Sergio, Zaba,Kompany etc...in my...

Fair result in the end I thought, even though I was expecting a fairly routine win before the game . If i'm honest I found the draws against Spurs, Palace and Liverpool in particular more frustrating. Chelsea, who are probably better than their position suggests and were the better team in the...

SWP's lad played for the EDS but left for Stoke I believe. Rosler had at least one maybe 2 sons (one named Colin after Colin Bell)on our books, again didn't make it is far as the 1st team though, does that count?

Remember seeing The Cult on their Electric tour back in 1987 when I decided to buy a tour programme ,(not sure why as they were such a rip off! )Anyway in the programme was a photo of Billy Duffy proudly wearing a City shirt. This was during a pretty shit season (when we ended up getting...

Rain by The Cult. Guitarist Billy Duffy is from Manchester and is a blue and the chances are it also may well be raining at least for some of the game!

Welcome to the Jungle is a brilliant song, one of the best rock songs ever. Still, everyone has their view and it would be dull if we all liked the same stuff. Many would like something by The Smith's, but I can't stand that band (Johnny Marr does seem a pretty sound bloke though)

Brilliant song is that!

And Liverpool and Arsenal too for good measure!!!

Syraight away? This strange game is making me make up strange English words now!

Apologies to our American friends on here as I don't really understand American Football and I did try to give it a go at watching it last night. This is how I saw it if I'm an honest! After the kick off they all went off for syraight away a rest.. They had a line out (?) they all went off and...

A bit harsh on Alvarez maybe, who has done pretty well for us, especially in the absence of The Viking. Nunes (Nunez is the annoying little turd at Liverpool) I have to say I'm not entirely sure about yet either, still early days though. Wasn't the most enthralling of games, but job done, 3...

Peter Reid probably wouldn't be particularly near the top of my list of favourite players and there are quite a few managers I did rate more highly than Peter Reid at City. However, even though I wouldn't call him a 'legend' as such I do think he always gave his all as a player and did a pretty...
