Villa away won 2-1. Went to the game but recorded it on ITV. Elton Welsby thought we going to get hammered. April fools day and we hadn't won away in the top flight for four years. Watched the full game back every day for about 2 weeks. Might be why my Mrs started calling me a sad bastard?

Ones I can remember us losing 2 nil at home to Aston Villa roundabout 1989. A nil nil draw away to Everton when Howard Kendall took over and a defeat to Leeds 3-2 at Maine Road. Carl Shutt scored the winner for Leeds and their dickhead fans destroyed the benches in the old Platt Lane stand.

Remember the Leeds one,Leeds got destroyed that day on Portland street

You are right. I missed that one when looking through the list. I was at the game in the upper Bullens and nearly feel off the edge, lurching forward to give Kendall the vees. :-)

Southampton at home 91/92, lost 0-1.I remember it mainly because I thought it had no chance of being moved and had booked a holiday flying out on the Sunday.

The infamous Chelsea match at Maine Rd on a Friday night in 83/84, loads of trouble, lost 0-2.

I took a proper smack to the side of my head outside the Maine stand post match as it was kicking off, no sense no pain eh lol

Before the PL was founded back in 92, televised games were few and far between , can you remember any City were on I remember the Manchester derby 86/87 1-1 with Mick McCarthy equalising for us and the away win at Villa in 89/90 but does anyone remember any others?

Here’s the ball Mick McCarthy scored that bullet header during the first ever televised live Manchester Derby on 14th October 1986
