Emile Mpenza

I always go on about that goal at SJP which kept us in the league

At full time as the lads walked to the tunnel we were chanting Emile Mpenza and he turned round and bowed to the city fans. Was mint

Good record for the Swiss side FC Sion after he left us - 21 goals in 31 games.

Quality player i remember a goal he scored at Newcastle that kept us in the Prem and at the end of that season Barton had the cheek to say that he had kept City in the Premier League that season even tho Mpenza hit i think 7 goals towards the end

Without Barton we would have got relegated.

Not to mention Dunne and Distin, of course.

He was well good on the old championship manager...

Bloody hell he was good for us at the time and played a large part in keeping us up but he was hardly the Messi some people are making him out to be "bags of potential" in his late twenties?

Needles and pins......recall singing something similar?

Yeah remember it well...needles mpenza! (One for the 60s music fans)

He pretty much kept us 'up' one season though.

Without Mpenza we would have got relegated my point was Barton saying that in the first place was out of order and untrue Mpenza scored the vital goals

Seeing as Barton finished that season as top scorer for the club, from midfield I'd say he had a point, although Dunnie and Mpenza played their part too.
