It's funny, I remember the headed against Burton and not the one against Real Madrid. To be fair we do play Real almost every season and we've only played Burton in that semi final.....that no doubt will change though as we are bound to play them at some point on our descent back from the...

He scored a header in the 9:0 against Burton, I remember that one as I was at that one. According to the commentary on the City App he also got one in a CLagainst Real Madrid. Great header wasn't it, almost 'Tommy Hutch like' in the 81 Cup Final (the first one obviously!)

Hard to disagree with this, I would imagine a lot of it is coming from fans too young to remember some of the really shite managers we have had, but I guess the thread is 'the last manager we really wanted sacked,'. The 2013/14 season was a really enjoyable one playing some great football and...

Different sport, but Andre Agassi said that he hated playing tennis, he ended up being pretty good at it though didn't he and certainly made a few bob from it!. Apparently he got sick of playing tennis because his dad pushed him so much he resented it and he preferred playing football (proper...

Although retaining our Premier League crown is obviously the main priority, I would love to see us play Coventry in the final. The thought of a Chelsea v United final , who wants that?(apart from Chelsea and rags fans I guess!). Having been through the shit times, I still very much enjoy and...

It's a shame they got rid of the away goals rule isn't it! After going out on the away goals rule to Monaco and Spurs in recent times it was almost inevitable that within a couple of years of ditching it this would happen! It did feel like so many frustrating CL exits of reason times , where it...

We've just beaten Arsenal at The Emirates, is where I'm up to..what a win that was. Watching it back, some of the football was brilliant wasn't it! The personal bits are quite good, Grealish with his little mate Finlay, Bernie naming his dog after John Stones and KDB being not bothered about...

Think they had connections to Franco's fascist government, which is the other end of the political spectrum. Totally agree that I hope we decimate them though!

Oh deary me, 17 goals in the 4 first leg ties, all 'in the balance'. Tonight there's been 11 so far, very dull!! This bloke is obviously pretty clueless about football!!

As I was out yesterday I didn't know the final scores until I got home(though I did know Palace had taken the lead) Before checking my phone, I thought Liverpool would turn it round and win 3:1 and Arsenal 2:0. What a pleasant surprise when I found out. It does put the ball back in our court...

Yep, when I go, I normally I aim to get to my seat just before the teams come out, Maybe a quick toilet stop, possibly a coffee, if I'm really early (like 20 minutes early) Years ago, when I wasn't old enough to drink (drinking being an absolutely integral part of my 80s and 90s matchday...

When Tommy Caton played against us for Arsenal at Highbury I do remember the City fans mocking him by singing that (he never did play for the full England side I believe). It never really totally worked our for him after he left us did it!, he had a lot of potential but probably never realised...

Unless I'm at the match or watching it in the boozer (neither of which I do that much these days) I always listen to matches on the City App, something I've posted on here a few times. As you say all the above are very good to listen to. Big Andy is the best, he certainly tells it like it is...

Slightly off track I know ,but I did 'corporate' in the last season at Maine Road in the Kippax ,a birthday present for my dad I think. It cost about £100 (obviously had a lot more spare cash then) the food was pretty decent from memory. The game itself was a dreary goalless draw against Boro...

Oh, absolutely! Undoubtedly my worst day as a City fan (probably the same for many others too!) Ofcourse it wasn't the only time we got relegated, but to me the other relegations never felt quite as bad, as at that point I found it hard to comprehend that we wouldn't be playing in the top flight...

A while back, I saw someone in that lovely brown Coventry away shirt, one that always stands out for sure (I guess they wore that late 70s/early 80s ?)

No doubt like yourself ,I do get sick of the slating of us and the desire from the press to see us lose against just about anybody. In this case I think Waddle is just being objective (rather than objectionable, as many 'journalists' are) If we are at our best we should beat them and we should...

Like most City fans of a certain 'vintage' I have a lot of time for Joe Royle. He ofcourse played in the league cup final victory in 76(for many years our only trophy in a very long time) and part of the team the following year that almost won the league. When we were truly shit, him and...

Very true, although I very much doubt many neutral supporters will be thinking 'wouldn't it be great if City continue to win the league every year' I've heard quite a few people say they'd be happy if we stopped Liverpool winning it. The media have an obsession with a certain 2 clubs, and any...

Very true, it took a good few years for City fans to appreciate what an intelligent, hard working player Gundo was (myself included to an extent if I'm totally honest)' FFS 'was similair to Sane imo, frustrating for sure but a very exciting player to watch who could change games. Haalands 'poor'...
