18 Years Ago Today

Watched in The Seven Oaks in Chinatown. Some blue bought a £50 ‘city to win’ bet off a rag at HT for a tenner. At FT, the blue buys all city fans in the pub a pint, but refuses to buy the rag one. Top night.

Most people at the game did not know Barton had been sent off, a good proportion left at half time, and Arnie was bobbins as he was in his 2nd and last game too.

But didn't he win "double save of the season" in that game? I thought he was decent in that game tbf.

I watched it at home with my brother and one of our mates, we were going to turn it off at half time and we were raging at how shite we were and about that git Barton, anyway, being City fans of course we carried on watching, well I had a feeling that something special was going to happen when Sylvain Distan scored straight after the restart, and finally Bosvelt scored!!!! Shaun Wrights awesome (offside!) chip and then that run from Sibierski and the ball over for Mackan, blimey the house nearly came down!!!! Great times, loved Keegan and the teams he put out!

Watched it in Phuket Thailand in a bar. At half time everyone including the owner went to bed as it was about 4am. Owner said just close the door and turn off the tv. City were not very well known over there at the time. They didn't believe me the following day when i told them the score. Loved Swp attacking the corner flag after his equaliser and the City fans with their shirts off swinging them round their heads in the freezing cold. Brilliant 2nd half comeback.

A mate and his wife turned up at my door and asked if he could watch it with us. When that Macken goal went in we both went ape shit, neither of us have ever forgotten it.
