Godlstein is one of lifes great W@@@ers so I would hesitate to judge Talkshite on the basis of that moron. They were generally full of praise on the early morning show and Brazil was almost excited by the performance so surprise surprise was a certain Danny Mills!!!Unfortunately you're wrong about Talksport. Listened to 5 mins of Man Utd local boy Goldstein on the way home before switching off. Apparently Barca were missing their 3 best players
Don't want to downplay the importance/significance of last night but we need to remember it was only a group game which we needed to win much more than they did. It does of course lay down a marker for the future and builds confidence but in real tangible terms it is only 3 points arguably Celtics result in Germany was just as important within the context of the group as it almost certainly secures qualification.It seems difficult to comment about 'best performance' because you get into meaningless semantics about teams playing above themselves.
What it definitely was, with a shadow of doubt, was the best RESULT in City's entire history.
Tangibly yes. But intangibles may turn out to have great consequence. We all know it was just 3 points, but some victories can have a wider impact. So much of football is played out in the mind.Don't want to downplay the importance/significance of last night but we need to remember it was only a group game which we needed to win much more than they did.

Would be my choice, in fact it was in Gary James' book about Joe MercerComparing performances from different eras is difficult & a little risky.
Last night we we magnificent for 70 minutes. However,lm going for the Schalke 04 semi final in 1970.
They were a very good side when German football was the best on the continent. Everyone of their players were seasoned internationals,and they were managed by the great Helmut Scherne,the national team coach.
CITY destroyed them with an outstanding display of 90 minutes attacking football & finishing. We were truely magnificent from first to last and Scherne described our performance as the finest he'd experienced from another club side.
A club with no history ?
