"Not just beaten - HUMILIATED!"Wembley opened peoples eyes but the 6-1 was the confirmation. The 6-1 will forever live with SAF for the rest of his life. Not only did we beat them 6-1 but it was at Old Trafford.

League Cup semi when they scored the goal in added time added on to the added time added on to the added time was the turning point.
The way they celebrated that one was a dead giveaway that they could see the writing on the wall.
For me the turning point was the fa cup semi.
We were improving but when they needed to win they normally did it whoever they were playing.
To beat them at Wembley in such a big game said we had arrived, we were now going to take them on as equals and they didn't like it/couldn't understand it.
The 1-6 at the swamp next year confirmed it but Wembley started it.

the turning point was the robinho transfer, the world suddenly realised that there was a new player in town
Just behind Alan Ball and Phil Neal and Steve Coppell.
Only joking - Pep then him for me.
On the pitch, definitely
As a statement, Tevez was the one for me. That poster might be the best bit of marketing in sporting history. Love it or hate it, everyone was talking about it, which is exactly what we wantend
... and we couldn`t give a fuckYep.
I'd even go one step further.
The initial takeover formed the catalyst for media scorn and ridicule: "RICH MAN'S PLAYTHING...THE OWNER WILL SOON GET BORED...CAN'T BUY SUCCESS..." yawn fucking yawm
The Tevez poster resulted in a shift from ridicule to pure, unadulterated hatred, which in hindsight, lasted until Ferguson retired.
Since 2013, there's been a gradual acceptance that City are here to stay, regardless of whether we're as popular as certain clubs in red shirts.
And this: )
