[blue10high]

imagine the scene, 25 thousand away city fans scattered all around the ground, city 4 goals to two up 5 minutes to go, some of the fans are on the touchline waiting for the final whistle to run onto the pitch, all are chanting champions champions, if city draw and united win who are at home to sunderland, then it is united's title, everyone thinks the job is done??? then the ball comes over from city,s right big bobby moncur sends a bullet header past mulhearn, then shear panic sets in, city fans diving back into the crowd wondering what the hell is happening, then it is down to two minutes it,s like waiting for the executioner to pull the lever, then injury time the ball is going from one end to the other, big Georgie heslop slamming the ball up the pitch every chance he gets,but the ball keeps coming back, then the whistle goes the sheer joy the sheer relief, probably the longest ten minutes i have ever had to endure, besides my first para jump in the army?

All that panic longest 10 mins ever and then to find out the rags had lost at home to Sunderland, Thats why City fans are a different crowd to the rest we are used to doing it the hard way,never make it easy.

it was when we played sheffield utd in 93/94. it was the most boring shittest game ive ever been to. i swear 10 mins felt like 10 hours.



its was 0-0 by the way

nice touch at the end by newcastle though, playing cliffs congratulations? geordies were on the pitch as well celebrating with us, if you want another longest ten minutes blueten, the same fixture the year after coming out of the ground just after wynn davies had scored a last minute winner against city,was probably the most longest frightening ten minutes of watching city?

Wembley V the Rags for me. Not because the shite looked capable. Just because the shite had three late minute winners out of four against us in last season's Manchester/Trafford derbies. Torture from the 80th minute on.

Same for me Pam, and I can imagine what you were like ;-)
With hindsight though it now all seems very easy.

not the most important game in the world but burnley away in the rain was tence, thinking the refs going to call it off any minute!! no more typical city lol.

As many have already said on here, Mid April at Wembley. When the announcement went up and was flashed on the giant screens ''5 added minutes'', the groans up where I was (up in the gods; 541) had to be heard to be believed. I swear my hair (what's left of it!) had gone visibly greyer come 10 o'clock that night than it had been at 10 in the morning!

There have been loads, but the one that stands out most for me was the 81 semi-final v Ipswich listening to it on the radio (which I suppose makes it worse), just sounded like wave after wave after wave of Ipswich attacking, never thought it would end.

got to agree with mancunial,Newcastle 1968, utter torture.Had 1 leg over the wall for the last 10 minutes waiting to get on to the pitch.Not being pedantic but think it was John McNamee with their 3rd.Whatever,made good use of a little trowel I took with me and dug up the penalty spot from the Leazes Road end,kept it till it stank!!!

 

[bluemike]

Where do I start for Stuart Pearce's last season as manager?
Utter torture.
