Well, he came with me to Wembley last week and despite the result we both had a cracking day.
He posts on here too!!
0-5 at home? you sure? or was it the 6-0 at scouse?

some people are such drama queens!!
jma said:Is that picture from the same game, or even the same bloke, as when a fella ran on cos he thought it was all a load of shit and dragged his wife and kid on with him.
Great stuff!
marcus said:There seemed to be a lot of streakers around this time too. People had obviously lost the plot. Some one would run on starkers to be met by huge cheers, then even more cheers when the stewards couldnt catch them.
But one incident sticks in my mind, a couple ran on, hand in hand, and both had no bottoms on! Tops but no bottoms! The usual cheers were then replaced by "eeuuws" as people realised what was going on. To make matters more cringeworthy the stewards didn't bother chasing them so this couple had to just walk back to the stand extremely awkwardly!
Any one else remember this or was it a strange dream I had?
I had a ticket in the open stand between the North Stand and The Kippax for this game.
The bloke was a few rows in front and smashed out of his skull. Up out of his seat all the time, going through all the songs on his own. She was mortified and giving him daggers.
Anyway, they fucked off at half time and the next thing you know, part way through the second half, they are running out of the Kippax. I don't know how they got in there as it was sectioned off and you weren't supposed to be able to get in there from that stand.
I'm pretty certain that he had his pants off with his meat and two veg swinging and she had her top off. Like they only had one set of clothes between them.
I don't know what he had said to her at half time but she must have gone from saying
"Please, dear, you are awfully loud tonight. Would you mind awfully if I could trouble you to sit down and watch the match in a respectful and sombre mood? You are embarrassing me somewhat"
"Yes, I would actually."
"Ok, well now that is settled, I suppose you had better hold my top, I'm getting my tits out on the pitch"
The bloke started running after the ball, trying to tackle the Arsenal players. Vieira, Henry and all them were stood there thinking, 'fuck me, what is this shit.'
Even funnier for me in that match was that it was 4-0 after something like 20 minutes (as it seemed to be every year during that period against Arsenal and some bloke ran out of the Kippax and sat down on the pitch, arms and legs crossed.
Some stewards went up to him and had a word, telling him to shift. He wasn't having it so they picked him up and carried him off whilst he still sat there with his arms and legs crossed, like a really shit Buddha statue.

anyone remember this or was i just fantasising after too many beers ?
SaddleworthBlueRhino said:Great thread with all emotions illustrated shared over the years. Getting older now so decided this years FA Cup was my last FA Final trip. Wembley is a dump! Local environs are even worse!! But you can't end on a loss can you? So they have managed to do me yet again.
Remember in 81 after securing our wembley tickets me and my bro did the season ticket confetti against palace didnt think anything of it until my dad (in a mental rage) questioning where our season tickets where as he needed the applications forms at the back to apply for a replay ticket...darent tell him what wed doneThose were the days - season ticket confetti and fans taking the free kicks!
Same I got an one as an early bday present in 81 ....£9 junior season ticket on the kippaxRemember getting my first season ticket for my 8th birthday, my best present ever and as my birthday was end of August I got one every year since.
It would just about fit into my pocket and was always shit scared someone would take it off me when I was ripping out the number, would get in the turnstile before ripping it out. Haha great memories.
I remember being at this game, that said I remember being in the car and listening to the gmr phone in where people were talking about it.This for me was an iconic moment for City fans. The guy did what everyone was thinking at the time and couldn't handle watching anymore of our performances.
Does anyone remember it? Does anyone know the guy? Where is he now?
John Tague, he was GMR before the following gameI think his name was Pete Swallow "Swoz" from Marple if its the one I am thinking of.[/quote
Wasn't called pete but you had the right town
