Heaviest home defeat you've witnessed either at Maine Rd or the Etihad

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

6-0 against Derby at The Baseball Ground. The Police were taking the piss as we walked back to the station to get the special. Character forming

Were they singing “I'll be watching you”?

It wasn't the heaviest but there was a game v Charlton around New Years where we got spanked 4-1 which felt like a nail in the coffin for us that season. Remember Robbie Keane rocking up a goal or two for every team he came with around that time too, the tw@

Would I be right in saying in this game, Nicky Weaver had the ball outside his box, tried a long ball and kicked it off the back of Richard Dunne rebounding it back into his goal?

Edit: found the goal @ 3 min 30 sec. It was a defender clearing it! -

Late 70’s and into the 80’s The Dippers regularly beat of 3,4,5 nil at Maine Road

Remember it well. Sitting in the North Stand with my Dad. Wave after wave of red shirts. One of the best Liverpool teams I've seen. There was a guy behind me who kept shouting "garbage", but Liverpool were on fire that day

We were always susceptible to hidings from the best teams of any era, whether Liverpool in the 80’s or the Arsenal team of the early 2000’s. The reason? because the Maine Road pitch was huge. Once teams of such calibre got a goal ahead and could dictate, we were liable to a hiding.

Yes, I was distraught that day. Thanks for finding the vid that ricochet was wicked.

They were fantastic in the late 70’s and 80’s.

They got Dalglish/Rush/Hanson/Sounness for a combined £1.3m

When you think we paid £1m for Steve Daley and £750k for Michael Robinson.

Bonkers.

Total madness. Steve Daley cost £1.4m.....we sold him for 400k.

When transfers go mad: when the British transfer record was beaten twice in four days - taleoftwohalves.uk

In a crazy month in 1979 the British transfer record was broken twice in four days. It fuelled speculation a spending spree would see it spiral out of control. In reality it didn’t. The record wasn’t broken again for another two years, and then a further five years thereafter. But in a balmy...

This just sums it all up!

When's the next home game? It might be that one.

 

[Lost for words]

Arsenal for me. At the etihad. They walloped us but us being us, we clapped them off the field. They were nothing short of magnificent that day.

Is this the game where they brought on Thierry Henry as a substitute when we were already beaten. I remember a guy in front of me saying we've got them worried now!

Stop…

I must have a moan at all those posting the away score for City home games first. Massive bug bear of mine.

If we played at home, our score goes first. So, if the visitors scored five to our one at Hyde Road, Maine Road or the CoMS, the score was 1-5 to them, not 5-1 to them.

Carry on…
