Biggest, Most Important home match in City’s history?

[Lavinda Past]

or at least taking any notice of them, whats the point of a thread if you cant take it off topic pretty much straight away :)

Never underestimate the power of Dave Whelan's broken leg...

I think its especially important from the medium term perspective. If City fail again, I think Pep's standing within the organization might take a dent. Especially on the recruitment end where he seems to be very choosy about who he wants (unlike a Pellegrini or Ancelotti). Not sure if Pep can work under those conditions long term.

Your key players like Walker, De Bruyne, Mahrez (all age), B Silva (PSG?) and Gundogan (age, Barca?) will all start to have declining influences on key games. While the overall squad age profile is good, these guys have been important in terms of consistently putting world class performances across the season. If City enters a rebuild over the next 1-2 years, Pep might not have another chance.

In terms of our biggest games in history, where would you rank this? Top 10? What would you put above it?

Depends on whether we lose or win ;)

It is a chance to move on, but I would settle for the Premier League, personally

There's a rumour that four horsemen have been seen on Ashton New Road riding towards the ground.

At the time, City v Schalke 04 in the semi final of the ECWC in 1970. Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, City won 5-1 at Maine Road to reach the final of a European competition for the first time. This followed the debacle the previous season against Fenerbahce, when we knocked out of the European Cup in the first round.
City won the final 2-1 against Gornik Zabrze in Vienna in appalling conditions to become European champions.
I remember a "do" in the social club shortly after, where I was pictured holding both the League Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup trophies.
