The Daddy of all "Typical City" moments is coming up

[flb]

Typical City can bring horror or it can bring joy.

It can snatch one from the jaws of another.

Sunday was the ultimate Typical City moment.

I see what you are getting at but c'mon...Typical City is a tag attatched to our ability to snatch DEFEAT from the jaws of VICTORY
Had we lost to QPR you would have heard far more 'typical city' shit from the media than you did with the win.

That's perhaps the media's line, and I've heard plenty of it over the last few days. But since Wembley 99 it's worked both ways.

Doing things the hard way. That's typical city.

Long before the term "Typical City" was invented, long before we even fell down the divisions, they used to call us "The Great Unpredictables".

Fuck me, they surpassed themselves. All I could say after the final whistle to my mate was just "Manchester Fucking City" repeatedly.

Sunday was THE ultimate buzz we will ever ever get watching City-im still in shock about the emotional impact that game had on me,went from total despair in not being able to watch it and shutting myself off from the game to finding myself crying and fucking shouting at the events that soon followed. I've fucked my leg big time after tumbling forward into the row in front ending upside down and its fucking purple from the knee down and cut to bits-in fact them seats are a sharp as fucking razor blades!!! limping around work all because of Manchester City Football Club.

Keep watching the Paul Merson commentary and that is how we all felt in the stadium-i swear i nearly had a fucking heart attack!!!

'Typical City' myth is the same as the 'mind games' myth. The first one is a direct result of being shit and the media blowing it out of proportion. The second one is nonsense since it only 'seems' to work after the event...and the media blowing it out of proportion.

Having said that...spookily accurate on some level by DD.

I don't think it will be surpassed. The relief. The disbelief. The joy.

I actually went a bit wierd that night and could hardly talk to anyone. I was in shock.

It most definately is media speak ( just look at today's sun) but in that respect it might be a tag worth losing...Kaldoon seems to think so...and to be honest I think if you spoke to a lot of football fans they would have similar views of their own team...even Fergie has gone on record as saying how they always do it the hard way but it was always in reference to winning....maybe there is a new era of typical Utd about to dawn in which they always somehow just manage to lose it ;)

Typical city is in our DNA whether we like it or not whether in good moments or bad it will always be with us.

Fucking hell dave. This thread was one of the first things that popped into my mind when i came back down to earth! I would say you are the oracle but when i read it first tim i knew it was going to happen. Just was not sure if it would be good or bad city. Thank god it happened as it did. It was perefect

Haha - cheers mate. I remembered it this morning. I was only joking at the time!

It's a touch sobering to read the nasty shit which was spouted in the middle of the thread by the humourless, but such is human nature.

You may have been joking but when i read it I KNEW you were right!
It fucked with my nerves no end reading it, as now my thoughts were in front of me via someone else, but I just knew we would so something like you said.

My heart said the good thing would happen, but my head said it would be bad.

We got both, the good and the bad leading up to the to the most spectacular city (and possibly premiership) moment of all time.

And this time the world saw it

And now the world knows how amazing this club can be.

And best of all, after all the horrible shit we have put up with over the years, united were on the most devastaing receiving end anyone could be!

People will love us the world over because of this and a new dawn will come
Good shout dave!!!! ;0)

On paper we should have won this game with no problems..At home, full strength squad, biggest game ever.........Instead, QPR parked the bus and on the 2 occasions they left it they scored 2 goals....Teams will play like this against us all the time, and we always get caught out....On this occasion we did what we had to do, but it could have turned out very different........What is the answer? Bobby Manc has still not solved the puzzle....????
Watching the game at 2-1 I could not believe we were in this situation.. Other teams just dont want to play just defend and we fall for it all the time........

Anyways, the gods of football played their part... but this season with all its twists and turns has been a very good tough learning curve for both players and fans...

Any comments regarding QPRs tactics and our inability to contain/score against them quicker would be appreciated...............

Agree with that 100%, never ever surpassed, I'm 52 and I know I will never see or, more importantly, feel anything like that again.
