Going back to the 80s, I'm pretty sure Paul Power was referred to as Gladys by some not 'over impressed' City fans, who maybe thought he played like an old woman( not saying old woman can't be good footballers ofcouse) Even though Paul Power (sounds like a superhero doesn't he!)may not have...

It's a bit like when someone says they've had a few beers but have actually been drinking lager. Lager is an alcoholic drink but isn't beer imo (which is Real Ale, Bitter etc.) and Gridiron/NFL is a sport but not football imo.. Got to say I've never had a conversation with any other foitball...

Good point about really shit performances not necessarily equating to shit days out (although they did often go hand in hand) There were several times in the 80s/90s when the 90 minutes from kick off was appalling, but I enjoyed the day due to a good piss up/sing song/ and the general...

I was at that Wolves game, I remember the piss taking/self mocking wild celebrations from the away end when Mcdonald scored! From what I remember Wolves had a very odd looking ground at that point, didn't they have one side completely empty and one stand quite a long way from the pitch ? (or...

We had some crackers at The Goldstone Ground didn't we. We won there the following season when Tueart got a couple and I seem to remember Steve Daley getting sent off. However , the ones that really stand out (apart from the one you mention) were another 4:1 defeat and that absolutely shite 4:0...

I remember sitting outside a nice pub by the Thames before that Fulham game thinking, Blackpool at home was good, cracking atmosphere, straight foward victory, now for our 2nd game in an unbeaten season! The reality was a little different wasn't it, starting with that game,( though it all came...

In truth Sergio Gomez was probably just another in a line of left backs that did'nt really solve our on going 'left back issue (although we have done okay considering!!) In a match towards the end of last season in the commentary (might have been on the City app) they said that you knew City...

Like many on here I'm not massively fussed about England. Maybe it was because they always had so many plastic chair throwing, BNP NF(Reform?) type brits on the piss following them Or was it ,as others have mentioned, the team was full of annoying rags back in the day. Due to working shifts...

If Trippier and Palmer also feature for England that could be those 2 plus Foden, Stonesy and Walker. For Spain, Rodders, Laporte, Navas and Torres, so potentially 9 players who are, or have been at City at some point.

Not forgetting (briefly) ex blue Ferran Torres, who I had forgotten about until I saw him earlier in the tournament to be fair!

Both before my time (more my dad's time) but Swift and Trautman would both have to be in top 5, certainly going by 'really FOCs' views/memories . Being a slightly younger plain FOC, I agree with the general consensus of Eddie, and the 2 Joes making up rest of top 5. Personally I would put...

Away from the big American Stadium/Arena bands, I'm off to see Skindred in Liverpool later in the year. It's only recently that I've started listening to them, I've seen live recordings of Skindred's festival performances a few times and they do look good, them , has anyone on here seen them ?

Although I don't listen to them these days as much as other bands I like, I saw Green Day at Lancashire Cricket ground on their 21st century breakdown tour in 2010. Very good live I have to say, and Billie Joe Armstrong is without doubt one of the best front men (or front women for that matter)...

Hypothetical not hypithetica obviously. Another boring game. what I've seen so far hasn't impressed me, I've not seen many games but have been fortunate to have been at work for 3 of England's 4 matches thus missing them (Germany v Denmark I thought was quite a good watch) It makes you...

All hypothetica I know.,but I agree, City would more than give them a game. England would probably lose 1:0 to a penalty or an own goal I reckon.

Do son in law/father in laws count. Who could forget Ashley Ward and his distinguished career at City!?(one of about 300 different clubs he seemed to play for) Without getting too much into Hello magazine territory, he's married to someone from The real housewives of Cheshire and their...

Dave Bemnett who played in the 81 Cup Final and his brother Gary, though I don't think Gary played for the first team did he? Vague recollection of Neil Mcnab having 2 of his sons on our books at one point?

Last week I saw The Smashing Pumpkins there, good gig and £50 I felt was a decent ticket price for a band of that stature. Although I wasn't drinking ,the prices weren't cheap, £8.95 for a pint! No coffee either which was disappointing , though my wife tells me I'm just old as young people...

How about Jack? The team spirit seems very good at City at the moment, but if he was in charge of 'nights out' (I guess that's the captains job?) Surely it could only get better ! I would add though that a good few days before a Cup Final(!!??) should be out of bounds for such events.

That German midfielder Gundosomething? looks decent. Maybe Liverpool or United should do a really good bit of business, pluck this unknown 'rough diamond 'from obscurity and give him the chance of a dream move to a proper big club!
