Loved early teen weekends early footy season in the 70s footy at Maine Rd Saturday and Sunday league at OT Sundays City and Lancy usually won, all I cared about before I discovered girls.

Huddersfield had the cowshed, Leeds the scratching shed. The Cowshed at Huddersfield the first members only home stand in the country. The Scratching She'd at Leeds was a small covered terrace which predated the south stand. Only in it once 3 0 league defeat in the early 70s only good thing...

Golden Balls? Do you mean Sir Twat

What the media should remember is Jack is still a City player, if he does the business at Everton we take him back next season. Simples

Always thought he was a Sheff Utd fan, anyway born in Manchester and plays for the Yorkies, bloody traitor.

Those pubs were my happy place. Drank in the Parkside pre match from 16 till I was 30. If I got a lift after that, would go in Claremont , too many Irish rags for my liking though then walk up to the Beehive loved watching old West Indian chaps play dominoes loudly would love the Holts and...

Is the Castle on Oldham street still going a great City and Rangers pub back in the day. Many a great drunken night in there mid 70s to early 80s. Can tell the earlier writer I miss the old pubs in Moss Side and Rusholme like mad, especially Claremont and Bee Hive.

In the mid 70s, 75 I think was staying with a mate at Bradford Uni when City was away to Leeds. In those days Bradford City were 4th division and Leeds United one of the top sides in the country. I expected the train to be rammed with Leeds not one on the platform, the platform opposite full of...

Loved that season, the footy the best since the mid 70s, however favourite managers Joe Royle who picked us up off the floor, or Mancini who tore down the banner and put the piss can back in his place.

Am surprised nobody has mentioned going to Maine Rd FC, a supporters run club that long pre dates the Moston red socks.

All the references to Stockport worth remembering for a couple ofi seasons in the 90s they were in the same division as us and on 98 99 the division above us. In those days their seemed little enthusiasm for them, and have seen Blackpool fans take the piss at Edgely park. Their revival seems to...

Have watched my home town Fleetwood all my life as well as being a Blue. An ever present at Maine Rd from 1969 onwards, I lost connection with the club after the move to the Etihad. My dad who I went to watch City with passed away and getting tickets became a pain in the arse. I became an...

Would have expected Torino to be Juves biggest rivals. Do you live in Italy or is your dad an ex pat living over here. Like many on here I became a City fan because dad was even though we lived on the Lancashire coast, my grandad was Blackpool and my Manchester grandma was United. Still miss...

Loved Sunderland doing it in 2012 against the rags after we won the league.

James Beswick perhaps.

Said it before, say it again, when Berbatov missed two sitters the world as we knew it shifted. Everything started to go down hill for United from that moment on.

It's not like he was loved by the crowd at the Swamp, chanted Chelsea rent boy at him after his efforts to move there for more money.
