Favourite first game of the season

My first thought. I would say the atmosphere that night was slightly ferrel

Thought we would smash that league after that result :))

Me too! I then went to Fulham away on the Friday after and very quickly realised we wouldn’t.

Was just about to put this. After the depression of relegation Keegan's appointment was the perfect tonic.

Berkovic and Bernarbia tearing the league to shreds.

Great atmosphere that day. Late ish kick off (I think) meant a few beers in town before. Watford tipped by a few to go up too.

Also a noteworthy fixture as it was Charvet's only good game in a City shirt.

Yeah...was almost like we refused to accept the possibility losing that day. Genuine goosebumps at the reception we gave the team as they came out; statistically the worst City team in our (then) 104/111/118 year history.

West Ham under Sven was special

[Brewster's millions]

Coventry away in ‘91 was a good day out - not a great game from what I remember but loads of blues there and very loud.

The next game was a cracker though against the dippers and David White was brilliant that night.

Yes that was a really good one. It felt like renewal

As others have said the 07/08 2-0 over WestHam.. main memory though had been waiting since Anelka for a striker that could consistently bag over 10 a season(I know), thought Bianchi was the one. Were a couple of one season wonders(Fowler and Robinho) but we had to wait until Tevez.

Even Charvet was decent in that game.

Steady now. Haha. Enjoyed that season. Obviously being the best team in the league helped but ITV showed a number of games on terrestrial too in that ill-fated deal. Was certainly more confident of staying up after that season than Royle's back to back team. I loved Keegan and was disappointed when he left but we didn't have a bottomless pit of money that he always seemed to need. Don't think a number of players would have come to us if he wasn't in charge at the time like Anelka.
