    I was told Pool-hilly but its probably closer to Pew-helli?

    Last manager who City fans really wanted sacked

    I don't think Hughes had anything to do with the signing of Kompany or Zabaletta as they were already sorted before he arrived. I suspect he had no input into signing the others mentioned either. He was certainly responsible for Crocky. Hughes was an average manager who declined with age and...

    Blackpool? Pwllheli FC? Welshpool FC?

    Wolves (H) - Sat 4th May, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    It is highly unlikely to come down to goal difference. If it did with both winning three and City drawing the extra match, Arsenal will probably win the title. City would need to pull back 8 goals in those three matches. That implies at least +11 for City if Arsenal win three on plus 3. City...

    North Stand Construction Discussion

    The point is that the consultation would have to have taken place before the design was completed let alone before work started on site. That particular horse has long since bolted. The cost implications of design changes during construction are quite severe in cost terms. When I worked in...

    North Stand Construction Discussion

    Why should there be? They are not designing a project, already under construction, by survey responses.

    How are you getting to the Cup Final?

    Hopefully the trains will be operating from Edinburgh that weekend. If not I will travel down on the Friday as I did for the semi-final.

    30th April 1994 - The Kippax's Last Stand

    I hated the Kippax. The sightlines were poor unless you were over six feet tall. The toilet facilities were pre-historic. It always seemed claustrophobic due to the low roof. I rarely stood there preferring the Scoreboard End and later the North Stand. Sometimes, there was no real option such...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    A former work colleague of mine claimed that the split between the Irish League and the League of Ireland happened before partition. I was not convinced and looked it up. Most of the teams in the Irish League from its formation in 1890 were from the Belfast area. The clubs from the then Irish...

    On This Day 26th April 1969: Manchester City FA Cup Champions:

    I managed to get a ticket using my vouchers. I used to collect the vouchers every week from 1964 onwards and it was the first time I ever got to use them. I think that the only other time I used them was for the League Cup Final against West Brom a year later. I had a season ticket by the time...

    Is our 1st team squad too small?

    Haaland is pretty big as are most of the defenders?

    On This Day 29th April 1970: E.C.W.C Final.

    I recall the trip very well. A group of us went on the three-day package. We spend the day before around the Prater stadium including a trip on the big wheel that was featured in the Third Man film. It seemed lovely day as we went to the Stadium with City 2-0 up at half time. Then the rain...

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    I doubt it as the whole United squad are fighting for their future.

    On This Day 27th April 1974: Manchester United 0 Manchester City 1.

    I went to all Derbies from 1963 until 1974 and never bought a ticket in advance apart from 1972 onwards at Maine Road when I had a season ticket. I certainly never bought an advance ticket for a League Match at Old Trafford. I paid at the gate. I am sure that some would have been locked out...

    Last manager who City fans really wanted sacked

    As if this needed to be confirmed, the last few minutes of the relegation clincher will do so. City came back from 0-2 down to 2-2. Alan Ball then instructed the team to take the ball to the corner to waste time even though City were going down as things stood. Niall Quinn was doing his nut from...

    Last manager who City fans really wanted sacked

    I think Pellegrini was let down by the quality of players signed. I am unsure why but City constantly missed signing targets before and during his tenure and ended up with second choice stopgaps like Fernando, Javi Garcia, Rodwell, Boni, etc. The quality of the squad was certainly declining...
