Made most things look ridiculously easy. Some great goals. That year, after seeing fuck all of a home goal at the Etihad from New Year's Day the previous season, was joyful. And the double over those impostors? Marvellous.Johnson could and should have become a super star, he was a brilliant player.

What a superb documentary! Those early Sven months were fabulous and on reflection, the precursor the much that has followed since. I often wonder how things might have been has Sven not been sacked when the take-over occurred? But I most remember that first 2-0 win at West Ham, the manner of which I think gave many of us a real sense of hope. I also remember with sadness the all-too-brief rise of Micheal Johnson, yet another City midfielder of great promise cut down too early with injuries. Great memories. RIP Sven.

I think, despite the turbulent times of the late 90s and early 00s we had something at stake - promotion/survival. Pearce from NY day to the end of the season completely sucked the life out of things. We weren't going down but we also weren't challenging for anything. The home results, and lack of goals in the 2nd half of the season made it horrific. Then all of a sudden there's this huge buzz around the place with this Thai fella throwing cash at us, signing loads of players that, even though we hadn't heard of most of them, made it exciting. Sven felt like a big scalp as a manager as well and that win at West Ham made it feel like we were on the up. We had some excellent results, and typically some big losses and bizarre moments - the FA Cup loss at Sheffield United with the bloody balloon being one of them!
