We were sat on the wall at the front of the stand with our legs through the fence. The guy who got the dart in his head was right behind us all match.
A Rag from Stretford was arrested at the end of the game. He was shouting it was me you Blue bastards as he was being led out. Apparently he got off in court because he claimed the dart came out of the City fans and he just palmed it away. But don't know if that bits true

Hamrick Bryan got the dart in the head. We both worked at the same company in Altrincham.

To save you clicking on it, it's saying two top UEFA officials came to Wembley the day after the CL final to watch the Championship play off game. I've no idea what he thinks they should've done. Worn sackcloth and ashes maybe? Would anything have changed if they'd stayed in Paris? He's turning into a bigger **** than Delaney and Harris.

Going by the fashion, I'm guessing this is 1990 ;)
Wasn't there a pic of a City fan with a dart in his head?

He thinks he is some icon for the rightful he is now a one eyed sheep like the majority of the bias media.

So now when UEFA say something is "independent", it's questionable all of a sudden? He was probably one of the same people digging City fans out for saying the same thing(highlighting figures such as Rick Parry and Leterme) during the UEFA investigation into City. Even if not, he still didn't highlight it as an issue back then and now he is.

Reminds me of that Teabag fella, kissing CAS' arse when he got the decision he wanted for the Spanish darlings of football but changed his tune completely when it came to City's appeal. Questionable integrity.

I think the fences were taken down after Hillsborough in 1989, so I would definitely say it's well before 1990.
So it's probably mid/late 70s or maybe early 80s.

I don't know why people don't make the point more often to him and his ilk that Sheikh Mansour etc have invested a billion pounds into an asset that was worth £200 million and is now worth over £4 billion, making it one of the shrewest investments ever known.

The fact that they have taken a short term hit for long term gain means simply that they are cleverer than the likes of the Glazers etc.

Exactly. This is how I break it down to
idiot.
Mansour spent £1.5bn to have an asset worth £4bn. He’s also sold 20% of that asset for £800m. So he’s had over half his total investment back and still retains 78% of a £4bn asset. So, for his £700m investment remaining, he has an asset value of circa £3.3bn
It’s truly terrific investment.

I'm almost convinced they don't let the people with good arguments onto the waiting list on Talksport. Anyone phoning in should trick them, if they do ask what your argument is.

Great post but to pick you up on one thing, you've got one too many zeroes in the figure of what we were worth when Sheikh Mansour took over. The shares were probably only worth £40m tops, not £200m. The £200m includes all the debt, plus the loans from Wardle & Makin. In fact Thaksin only paid £21m for the shares 12 months earlier so that's probably about what they were worth in reality.

probably wrong thread but please bear with me. Watched on Citys website about blues around the world and got to say it brought a tear to my eye and also how proud I am of seeing where we are now compared to where we were a few years ago. For all those young fans who have witnessed us has we are now there’s a few of us old fans who never thought we would be this.
 
Went to the Rolling Stones concert at Anfield last night. Organisation was spot on along with the facilities. Plenty of Manc accents before and during the day and weirdly quite a few Everton shirts on show. The gist of my post is the unnecessary rendition of YNWA after the Stones left the stage before coming back on for the encore.it's been reported in the media that it was some kind of mystical form of encouragement that induced the group to reappear when we all know that at a neutral non sporting event an encore is the norm and Mick and co were probably oblivious to their chorus anyway.What the media didn't report is that they had hijacked an event and made it all about THEM again.Personally I would feel embarrassed if it was reported that Ed Sheeran had been brought to tears at the Etihad rendition of Blue Moon at one of his recent gigs.
