Where was this. Remember seeing a video from a pub in Belfast where everyone goes mad, Bears and Chelsea I would imagine. However one rag is at the bar, he looks like his world has ended.

I don't normally , football has been my life for 60 years but their where games back in the day were getting back in one piece was a result in itself. Aware we drew Brentford but thread had drifted on to that dreadful day at Cardiff.

A different era, but a very scary day at Cardiff cup tie. Blues being attacked everywhere but post match Carfiff came to the coach park and got smacked senseless. Welsh Dippers and rags who turned up for a fight found they had stepped out of their league and found not all City fans were easy...

Saw Kyle Walker play for Burnley v Leeds he had a stormer.

I remember for the cup tie at Vale Park early 90s (?) It was said we had not played them in a competitive fixture. In the late 90s we played them several times at 2nd level. In 98 99 they were a division above us.

Yeah I had one of those scarves. Thought I looked the dogs bollocks in it but alas lost long ago. Still have my blue , white and maroon bar scarf from 1970.

Would like to nominate two FA cup quarter finals Liverpool, late 80s I think. After seeing off Plymouth in the 5th round had convinced myself it could be our year. Once we drew the dippers I felt pessimistic but hoped for an upset. Hammered 4 0 and victims of some dubious refereeing. The Spurs...

When they won the league in 2013 we beat them at the swamp a couple of weeks before the end of the season,made no difference, neither did that. Cup final 2024 biggest disappointment 2023 cup final every wish since childhood fulfilled. Rags utterly humiliated, never forget them going up for there...

Another man who unites blues and reds is Rio Ferdinand, Chelsea rent boy despised on both sides of the City.

People respected by both sides, Brian Kidd is the obvious example. In boxing I know many blues myself included who cheer Tyson Fury. He's a red but a proud Manc and great boxer go the gypsy king.

At my 21 year old nieces funeral my other nieces husband wore a City shirt carrying the coffin in spite of being a huge United fan. I remarked on it and he said he would do anything for Emily. I asked what if she'd been a Liverpool fan, he said no, their are limits. A rare moment of humour on a...

How we could object to songs about fodens mum after what we used to chant about Beckhams wife and kids is ridiculous.

Wasn't there in 88 but the 81 quarter final at Goodison and the league cup semi at Anfield the same year was the worse violence I have ever seen. Scousers happy to use blades at thee time while Mancs fought with fists and boots. You can be as game as f**k but anyone thinks twice about being...

The best derby as a game of football I can ever remember was in the autumn of 1971. City vastly the better team found themselves 0 2 then 1 3 down if my memory serves me. Stepney produced a world class save going into injury time which their was little of in those days. Buzzer banged it in from...

Have to say had a lot of time for Southampton in 1976 for their total humiliation of the rags and especially that prize twat Docherty. Had a nice earner off the bookies that day too.

Every club has nob heads including City. Looking on the Bee Hole End, Burnleys forum after Ricky Hattons death it was full of respect you'd have thought it was Blue Moon. Lived in Burnley for two years back in the day good Lancashire folk just. Like Mancs. In Burnley if your a football fan your...

Martin Samuel is brilliant only reason I bought the Daily Mail for years despite hating the Tories. He is not pro City but fair telling it like it is which is a vast improvement on any other football writer.

Could never decide if my greatest sporting was Colin Bell or Clive Lloyd.
