Yep it was amazing football and then Negredo got injured and was never the same after, and that seemed to affect everybody else. We should’ve won that title by 15 points rather than having to rely on Slippy G and Dwight Yorke’s miracle of CrystanbulYep, good choice. But since this obviously doesn't depend on only goal scoring (our goals were spaced out in that match, but what you mean is that we were so all over them that it was one of the very few derbies where I felt totally relaxed virtually from first to last), I'd add, I think from that same season 13-14, the away game at Spurs where Sergio was just completely unplayable until he was taken off injured. It was just so obvious right from the whistle that Spurs had no answer whatsoever to our football that the first five minutes, the next five minutes, etc. were hugely enjoyable.
That 13-14 season is a semi-forgotten one, but we played some absolutely breathtaking football from the beginning of November to the end of January. I'd still say it was the best football I'd ever seen from a City side until the Centurions season. We were just smashing teams for fun that season, and it continued up to the 4-0 against Villa that I'm very happy to say I was in the East Stand for.
Dwight Yorke’s miracle of Crystanbul
SterlingJust watched the France v Morocco game and have to say the world cup has not been enjoyable for me. So I watched the highlights from the Villa game last season. Stirlings cross, Gundo's header, Zinchenko's step over, Rodri superb strike, De Bruyne getting to a ball when 3 or 4 Villa players were nearer, his cross, Gundo's tap in. The tension till the final whistle then when the ref blew the icing on the cake was rat boy crying there should be another minute. I enjoyed that. Yes, the best five and a half minutes of football I've ever seen. What about you?
Was right behind the goal halfway up the North Stand fantastic view of both goals in a game when we had been shit. One of the lowest home league gates I was ever in about 18k I think.Oxford Utd home November 86
Paul Simpson had just been transferred to them and made his debut against us!
1-0 down Morley equalises in injury time, 2 minutes later we go up the pitch and Redmond scores a header from the penalty spot. Brilliant!
A week later we smash Bradford 4-0 and go top of the league

I would nominate five late minutes against Norwich at home in 99 2000 season. We had been one up early through the Goat they had equalised and then followed an hour of some of the worse football I had ever seen. Two late goals changed the whole feel of the day and I went home happy. Think the same player got both but can't remember who (old man's memory I'm afraid ) anyone fill in the gaps finished 3 1. Think it was under Royle could even have been two years later under Keegan.
