As mentioned, the 2-3 rags cup game.

But also City 0 - 1 Bolton for comedy value. Only City could hit the bar so many times and lose to a last minute pen.

1-1 at Blackpool in the cup

Lakey’s crazy last minute equaliser


1-1 at Villa when Micah scored the late late leveller

Was at Blackpool for cup tie.mental..incredible atmosphere...i think you,d call it 'raw'

Forgot all about villa and micah..id left 2 mins early to try and beat the crush at witton station.....missed the goal!! Mass celebration with other blues outside villa park..danced a jig of delight....and got caught in the crush at the station.incidentally,it was that match where some of us behind the goal made an unscheduled appearance in the Villa board/trophy room...a door just swung open at half time (i think) behind the stands..and loads of us literrally fell into a room we were definatley not supposed to be in......there was a 'refreshment 'fridge padlocked in the corner......it took someone 15 seconds to get it off and we enjoyed free ice cold beer .......think this was also the match when Micah swore in his live post match interview...[/QUOTE]

1-1 at the swamp in 2003. The Goat equalised and had a winning goal disallowed. Berkovic was unplayable

Great end to the match.nowt wrong with The Goats winning goal.

How about Palace away, May 1990?
Baking hot
Blues brothers
2 nil down to draw 2 all
City lads on the pitch at HT waving a banner saying "good luck at Wembley" as they played that lot in the FA Cup Final the week after

For comedy value:

First game of the season against Leeds. Completely outplayed, similar to what Peps city side does to teams, before taking the lead through Gary Flitcroft (had a bet on him as first scorer) before in typical City fashion grabbing a draw from the jaws of victory right at the death. Just knew walking away it was going to be another comical season.

The one all draw at Bradford which clinched promotion in 1989. As a 13 year old, relying on the radio coverage, it was such an amazing feeling when Morley equalised.

away at Walsall ( maybe same season ) 2 nil down - dibble off injured and gleghorn In net 3-2 up and them last minute crap backpass from oldfield let’s them equalise - great game

It was the following season

Coventry away, think we lost 4-3? ali bernarbia looked so good, great game to watch though

 

[shemnel]

think it's been mentioned but the 0-1 at home to Bolton, utter disbelief at hitting the woodwork 6 times (twice with one effort) and other missed chances. Then they potter up the other end in injury time and get a (deserved) penalty off Dunne, Speed (RIP) hits the winner! Real cliche film stuff, but in painful real life.



Man City: James, Mills, Dunne, Distin, Thatcher, Sinclair (Jihai 26), Barton (Ireland 81), Reyna, Musampa, Sibierski, Vassell.
Subs Not Used: Fowler, Onuoha, De Vlieger.

Leeds v City FA Cup 6th round 1967. It was the first game Joe and Malcolm experimented playing all out attacking football. They absolutely battered hot favourites Leeds who only won 1-0 by Jack Charlton fouling Harry Dowd when he scored. I remember a reporter praising City to the rooftops and saying "Lucky, lucky Leeds". A disappointing defeat on the day but little did we know that this game was the catalyst for the fantastic title winning season of 1967-68.
