This was certainly my lowest point as a Blue and I had travelled from Edinburgh to watch it.

Hats off to you for that.

I stood in that half empty stand watching rain swirling down highlighted in the floodlights. Curly Watts next to me with a comatosed face. Rain dripping from my chin as we went 2 -0 down. A real low point.

But look at us now.
 
See the Guardian are up to their old tricks again before a big game at Anfield.

“Premier league is asked if it has investigated Manchester City owner over Russian Allegations”.

Owner? Does that mean the league has to ask Abu Dhabi or Mansour? Make your fucking mind up you lying sacks of shit. State this and state that until it don’t suit the agenda. Can’t stop us on the field nor commercially off the field. What’s left? Oh yeah, the dirty Muslim owner.

The fight to keep the good name of MCFC out of the media gutter is ongoing.

TNS 0-2 Manchester City
(Man City win 7-0 on aggregate)

Manchester City booked their place in the first round proper of the Uefa Cup with a comfortable win over Welsh minnows TNS to complete a resounding aggregate victory.
Kevin Keegan's men twice added to the first leg score, midfielder Christian Negouai netting two minutes before half-time and Darren Huckerby notching with nine minutes to go.
Keegan made 10 changes from the first leg, deciding to rest a host of first-team players with the tie all-but over.


It gave the former England boss a chance to run the rule over some of the club's fringe players, and young Irish defender Willo Flood made his debut.
TNS, clearly fearful of another thrashing, defended deep in their own half and City pressed forward from the opening whistle.
The visitors should have extended their aggregate lead when Eyal Berkovic sent Darren Huckerby racing through the middle. But Huckerby carried the ball too close to Dean Williams' goal and the keeper managed to block the shot with his legs.

KEY MOMENTS
43 mins: Negouai puts Man City in front
81 mins: Huckerby completes the scoring

TNS had a decent chance of their own 10 minutes before half-time, but Martin Naylor's goalbound shot deflected off Richard Dunne and clipped the outside of the post.
Just two minutes before half-time City deservedly went in front, Negouai capitalising on a defensive blunder to lash the ball home from six yards.
Keegan resisted the temptation to make changes at the interval and City came out looking determined to add to their already substantial lead.
But TNS almost embarrassed Nicky Weaver - standing in for the rested David Seaman - when the former England Under-21 stopper had to back-pedal furiously to tip Gary Brabin's outrageous 45-yard lob over the crossbar.
City suffered a blow on the hour mark when former Preston striker Jon Macken took a knock on his shin and had to be replaced, Shaun Wright-Phillips taking his place.
Huckerby rounded off the night with a second goal, prodding home after good work from Wright-Phillips.

TNS: Dean Williams, Naylor, King, Brabin, Aggrey, Taylor, Ruscoe, Jamie Wood, James Wood, Simon Davies, Leah. Subs: Doherty, Bridgewater, Toner, Wild, Justin Perry, Beck, Steve Evans.

Man City: Weaver, Flood, Dunne, Wiekens, Bischoff, Tiatto, Bosvelt, Negouai, Berkovic, Huckerby, Macken. Subs: Stuhr-Ellegaard, Whelan, Distin, Sinclair, Barton, Wright-Phillips, Jihai.

Referee: Zsolt Szabo (Hungary).

Remember it well
 
If there is going to be a competition about going to away games when we were shit, then Wrexham on Boxing Day should be the winner rather than York. As that was the game we went into in our lowest ever league position.

The same people who claim we are state owned, are the same people who claim we broke FFP rules and only got off because of clever lawyers. this is impossible. We were found guilty by UEFA of disguised owner investment , sheikh Mansour our majority owner was funding the Etihad sponsorship, as we all know an airline owned by Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund IE the state. you can believe we are state owned or you can believe we were guilty of breaching FFP but you can't believe both.
