Aside from the Madrid 4-0 I'd say 1-5 away at Tottenham in 2014. I was actually laughing on the half-hour mark at how fucking brilliant we were. Never done that before or since.

Brilliant midweek match as well.A few weeks before Madrid

Obviously the 4-0 against Real Madrid but there are two others for me that spring to mind. The 7-2 against Stoke in 2017 was the game that really announced the Centurions team. We dominated the first half and it was only two deflected goals that brought them back to 3-2 however that only poked the bear and Kev was magnificent all game until Pep decided to declare after 70 minutes and take him off. If it had finished 12-2 that day I would have said it was a fair reflection of the game.
The other one is a bit more obscure, someone mentioned earlier in the thread the 2-0 win at Leeds on Boxing day in 1976, a game at which I went to but got locked out off because the coach arrived too late and we were locked out. However the previous game against Coventry at Maine Road we tore them apart. It finished 2-0 but should have been at least 8 but for their keeper and us not taking our chances, sound familiar!

As an alternative to the above Gillingham away when Goater scored from Bernabias back heel pass. We played sublime football that day. we got clapped off by the Gillingham fans iirc.

Can I go back further?
My favourite play City made on totally albeit Different Days
11 April v Ipswich Semi Final at Villa 1981
We were not given a prayer by the Media
Ok , we Rode our luck but We played great to a man
And the goal by PP Summed it up perfectly
Oh what a day

2012 1-0 vs United. Essentially the title decider. They didn't have a shot on target, it was defensive perfection.

Took a screenshot of the game CL semi vs Real as the stats were simply astonishing. Just look at those stats….

Madrid 4-0 in champions league unbelievable football off another planet, first half against AC Milan 3-0 a long time ago was stunning football been so blessed to follow this club since highs lows then arrived higher than Everest.

The first half in that Madrid game was the best football I've ever seen, by any team, ever.

Sir scruffy Jim likes this post.

I believe he said the same

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Countless times in the 80s saw us play like Brazil 1st half, struggle to score… then capitulate second half.

Play like Brazil in the 80s ?

 

[M Gaudino]

Definitely the 4-0 vs Real Madrid

As an aside Jack Grealish could do with watching again how he played that night - he was magnificent taking on the full back continually at pace and causing havoc!

akanji left back during a few of those games was immense. Marauding presence striding into midfield high on the press and not allowing them a moment on the ball, stood next to Rodri and just suffocating madrid

 

[Tevez City]

The won that achieved the 100 points

 

[Dr Jacoby]

It takes a lot to top the football we played under Pearce in our glorious 06/07 season.

Most bottless team Ferguson ever sent out, not one shot on target in 90 mins, they barely had an attack.

Abso- fucking-lutey !!!

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

When we beat Liverpool at the Etihad. Arguably the best quality of football that's ever been seen by both sides in Premier League history.

The goals, the drama, the tempo and electric atmosphere. It had it all.
