Favourite memorable moments at the swamp

[robsta]

Well I can't sleep and my stomach is churning so sat here thinking of some memorable moments at the swamp.

Now I know last year was fantastic one, Brightwell's equaliser and all our goals there are special but some other moments that I fondly remember:

1) McManaman giving the wanker gesture to the rags right in front of them in the corner near us as the ball had gone out for a throw in. And then he legged it and took the throw in as soon as he could before one of them coined him. Quickly followed by City singing "Macca sez you're wankers ... ". He didn't do many good things in a City shirt but that was quality

2) FA Cup tie when Rossler scored in front of us and we had all of the scoreboard end. City singing "1-0 to the Manchester" and it was deafening. Hairs stood up on the back of neck. Fantastic !

3) Albiston scoring that own goal. Ha ha

Any others ?

Not been around for THAT long, so apart from last season, would have to go with...

Joey Barton MBE equalising late on against them, then running the length of that side of the pitch telling the rags to sshhhhhhh

The Goat's equaliser 8 seconds after coming on.

Neville's attempted headbutt, before backing down.

Oh go on then, last seasons win :D

Denis Law scoring a goal, the pitch invasion, then watching them kick and punch lumps out of each other.

I got away unscathed, but my head was on such a high. Those sad bitter twats really did turn on each other that day, and to hear their manager asking for calm when the police horses were charging all over the pitch was just funny. Especially when he burst into tears.

Yeah, I was scared, but I was loving it all the same.

Dissa getting sent off for attempting to kill Giggs.

Keith Curle bouncing a City fan up and down after slotting away his penalty as cool as you like.

When they invaded the pitch and ran away from Micky Doyle classic

Singing along to i think 'wonderwall' at half time in the FA cup game...has anyone got that on video?

I can't sleep either. I'm c*cking myself.
Some memorable swamp moments:

Dunney turning round to us, his expression full of respect, the second that the whistle was blown at the end of the minute silence last year. Oh and Benji's celebration. In fact Vass's celebration for that matter!

Berkovic running the show in the 1-1 derby in April 2003. Made the whole lot of them look ordinary. Apparently, he was so exuberant in the tunnel after being made MOTM by SKY SPORTS that he tried to kiss old Bacon face during his post match interview.

Not a favourite moment, but indelibly imprinted in my brain is psychotic Keane standing over Alfie Haaland after THAT tackle.

F*cking c'mon City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great day. My dad and I stood on the scoreboard paddock for about 20 minutes after Denis's goal just relishing the scene. We still laugh about it to this day.

It's one of the very few football league matches to have been abandoned and not replayed. It's also the reason why fences were first erected at an English ground, a decision which led to the deaths of 96 people at Hillsborough.
