The day the tables turned

[SamTheGuru]

Just doing a bit of reflection and a few years have gone by now. I know this has been done 1,000 times but did not know which thread to put this in:

Yaya's goal against the rags in the FA Cup semi felt like the pivotal moment for me. So much built up emotion and so much energy. It felt like everything after this moment was inevitable, all the way up to the Treble. Yaya also had an unbelievable way of making it look like he was playing with toddlers in the park.

The Balotelli wink enraging Ferdinand immediately after the match was the cherry on the cake, suggesting that the rags knew that we were on our way to being unstoppable.

It felt like it at the time and it was.

the tables have well and truly changed...


the rags are now mid-table at best, like we used to be.

we are dining at the top table, like they used to do.

fuck 'em!

 

[ancoats]

The only thing missing is them getting relegated again

 

[calumdown]

that utter determination by our players to beat them in a game doesn't seem to have been there recently.

i have a feeling it will return this season.

I remember being there and literally everyone on the coach on the way down thought we'd lose. We had zero belief. What a day though!

They also parked United and City coaches on the same car park so it was chaos afterwards

The day Bobby Manc arrived was the beginning of it all for me. A manger turned fan and boy did he know what he was doing to the rags. He wound up pisscan like a bobin and loved every minute of it. The smile on his face in the 6-1 was amazing. The ultimate troll.

Semi

You’re not wrong :)

We'd been hammered at Anfield a few days before and I recall having a sick feeling in my stomach on the way down to Wembley for the Semi. I feared the worst, and on telly with the whole world watching. Our coach too was rather subdued . What a day though, and the trip back was something else. It took me a few days to come down from that 'high'.
A day to remember and I agree that everything changed after that. No doubt about it IMHO.

As much as we love Pep, Mancini will always be the man, came in and said i will rip that shitty banner down and did it in spectacular fashion

[Carlos- the- jackal]

Just glad the pisscan is still breathing to see us dominate the cunts for over a decade ,long may he suffer.

If it wasn't for Bobby Manc we would have had Robinho and Stephen Ireland playing in that semi final. (If we made it that far.)

 

[hallsteve62]

I have never had a headache like the one I had during that match. Fucking great journey home though!

 

[youngbob]

Easy to forget that they battered us for 30 mins that day.

Til Mancini told the back four to step up and stop being so scared.

The rest is history.

An open wound that still festers inside and outside with Ferdinand. We are like an abcess that will never heal for him or their supporters.
What a fecking shame:-)

Apparently Yaya did a speech at half time saying he thought United were nothing and, if they didn’t believe it, then he would show them.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Was a corporate guest that day, and even though we were in the City end, a couple of the party were United fans. One of them I knew of previously. I’ll never forgot when Scholes was sent off and I looked round to clock them 30 seconds later, and both cunts had gone!

I’m not in contact with the one I knew of, but I know others who are and according to all of them he’s become a right bitter **** when it comes to City.

Their pain truly is a thing of beauty.

The moment we let one rip across their starboard bow n tore em a new one. sending em spiralling out of control n basically rudderless ever since, despite all the numerous clowns who tried to regain the helm

...whilst we sailed off into the sun with treasures galore n more.

The turning of the tide :-)​
