City 2 Stoke 1. 28th December 1998. If we hadn't won that I don't believe we'd be where we are now.

Reflected in the worldwide TV viewing figures.
My Dad was saying only the other day, how something changed thàt day between the fans and the players. It was a real turning pointSat 3 rows from the front of the Platt Lane, the atmosphere in the 2nd half was something to witness.

In my lifetime it was that one. In a bad way Luton in 1983. We didn't really recover until Kevin Keegan era.This. Never felt as sick before a game as this one, including the QPR one.
Fa cup better than the European Cup is crazy talk.This FA cup final is a multitude bigger game than the RM one, the first major final between the two teams, the UCL is still a manufactured ball juggling cheat fest that will be usurped by another competition with another name down the line.
In 20 years time the UCL lovers will be longing for their long dead competition whilst the FA cup will be in its 170'th year.

Never felt as sick before a game as this one, including the QPR one.
