Every September the 23rd I still wish all the City and United fans I know a "Very Happy 5-1 day".
I know it was ages ago and we've bettered it with the 1-6 but it's still the original "Demolition Derby" for me :)

I took it that @Shaggy was saying that AH hates us so much now, he's turned into a ****! (apologies if wrong, not the AH is a **** bit!)Thank fuck for that.
A great day and the rag scum hated it, so it's in my top 3 games of all time!

It is a bit strange. I could understand it if it was a significant anniversary (say, 25 years), but it's a bit out of the blue. Why not the 10-1, or the other 5-1? Any reason why, @Shaggy?Not sure I see why the OP would just randomly raise a post on this? I know how important it was at the time, but what point are you trying to make OP?
Apart from the fact that you can't spell Maine !
Went Wimbledon away the Saturday before and we lost 1-0, then in the midweek went Brentford away and we lost in the League cup 1st Leg 2-1. Didn't stop me telling all my red mates that we'd beat em on the following Saturday. One offered me an equal £50 bet against him on picking the 1st goalscorer. Whichever player scored before the other they would win the 50 quid ( alot of money in 1989 ). He let me go 1st and tried it on by saying I could choose a rag e.g. Hughes, McClair etc. I wasn't having any of his shit and proudly exclaimed I pick David Oldfield, he thought he was on a winner and said I could pick another City player so I plumped for Trevor Morley. He went for Hughes. What a mad match and experience that day I enjoyed in the North Stand. I swear I was so engrossed in everything going on that I only remembered later on after the match in the pub that I'd had the bet. Write us off at your peril I say. CITY CITY CITY.
