For me, Thierry Henry from 2002-06 was the most elegant fantastic player to see in the flesh. I vividly recall the last time City met Arsenal @ Maine Road, us clapping him (& them off) at half-time. Some other stand outs (for individual performances) - Benzema (2022 UCL SF) - Berbatov (2007 LC QF)

Loved the threads popping up over the last few months of Maine Road, City fans in general. Has anyone got any photos of blues on European trips from the 70's through to today, Wembley or any away days? I'm sure there are some hidden gems

Who are City's biggest bogey team(s) historically? Growing up (90's/00's) a lot of teams could claim this mantel but one in particular always stand out to me... Middlesbrough, could just never beat the bastards. Whether it was the Fowler pen miss, Sun Jihai OG (without them having a shot of...

I think we can all agree the current iteration of 'PSR' is nothing more than a poorly designed, protective sets of rules that stifle outside investment & protect the old establish order from 'new' money, much like it's predecessor FFP. I have no doubt that if this isn't completely reworked we...

I never felt more like singing the Blues…

Evening all Hope you are all well! I’m lucky enough to be approaching the 20th anniversary of a life saving kidney transplant on the 1st September. It’s made a huge impact on my life, giving me everything & allowing me to watch the Blues make my wildest dreams come true. As such I’m running...

Which one is better?

Different topic this but I was thinking recently after hearing some proper mental breakdowns following the palace result a few weeks back, how on earth did some cope when we were legitimately sh*t with little, to no hope? I know it’s all relative like, but Jesus it was eye opening. I’ve always...

Afternoon all, I know City wore adidas training wear in the 70's as they were sponsored by Umbro who had the right to distrubute their gear in the UK at that time, even weariing trefoil hoodies as the players entered the Wembley pitch in the '76 League Cup Final. I was wondering though... Have...

Morning Blues @Ric/mods, apologies if this is in the wrong place. My friend is after the programme from his first ever game at Maine Road (v Liverpool in '96, yes THAT game) and I'd like to surprise him with it, he's in the process of doing up his newly acquired man cave! I'd be willing to pay...

I recently was unable to make the Burnley game as I was in Germany that weekend. I rang the club who in turn sent me a link with my ticket on so I could sell it on to another blue. In order for him to use the ticket I had to delete my season ticket from my wallet, I now can't re-download it...

I see Manchester Airport has closed both runways (temporarily) due to heavy snowfall, what chance do we give the game being called off later tonight for the same reason? Surely not, as where this game would be reorganized to again I've no idea.

Question, do you find yourself becoming more ‘loyal’ to sports brands affiliated with City, for example buying more non-City Puma gear as a result of our partnership? Conversely, do you find yourself avoiding other brands because of their links to our rivals? Me for example, always liked...

Is anyone on here familiar with this ongoing case in the US relating to the Malaysian 1MDB scandal? I note Sheikh Mansour has been listed by the the US governments star witness as a figure that would of needed to be bribed in his testimony, but the US haven't accused him of any wrongdoing...

Just reading the unpopular City opinions thread and came across a discussion about Sir David Silva & his incredible performance against Hull in the title run-in back in 2013/14. We were down to 10 from early on & David carried us, with that said I’ve remembered some others from the top of my...

Saw a thread on Twitter on this & thought it'd be good to see how everyone's matches up over the years, I'll start: 1. Agüero 93:20: The ultimate, surely can never be topped? Or can it? 2. Yaya v United @ Wembley 2011: To me this felt like the moment it all came together, all the promise of the...

I saw this topic being discussed in another thread and thought it deserved it's own. From the appointment of Joe Mercer & Malcolm Allison in 1965, through to 1979, City had undoubtedly established themselves as one of the top 4/5 football clubs in England, as well as a player on the European...

“I won’t believe anything until I see him on the OS holding the shirt” “I won’t believe it until it’s on the OS” The Clarkie The reverse Clarkie It’s quiet, too quiet Resigning Ngolo Kante *insert journalist name* is a wanker Martin Samuel is the voice of reason Any other classics missed...

So Rodri, our big summer signing of 2019 in a position that was crying out for reinforcement. How would you all assess his first season? Clearly a very astute footballer with good tactical awareness and positioning, however I do feel he would be better with a combative midfielder in there with...

I'm sure this will be a very interesting documentary: https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81015566 One of my all time favourite players in a City shirt, although I do recall him dividing opinion, would love to see him getting on the end of those low KDB crosses! He'd get 50 a season.
