The typical city thread.

That Bolton game was just ridiculous. We absolutely pummelled them and I genuinely have no idea how we lost. Think we hit the woodwork 6 times.

I'm pretty sure it was ten times if you count the one where 50p head hit the bar, the ball traveled upwards and then hit the bar again on the way down

Typical City is winning the league and then being relegated the season after, despite scoring 100 goals

I remember being at maine road as a little kid for the derby . The Kippax went crazy because we were 2-0 at half time. In the second half the rags came back to win 3-2... Typical city.

I can't for the life of remember what year this was, my memory is telling me that Quinn got both our goals but it could be mistaken (it's a hazy memory).

Probably this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfVr1OE8ny0

93/94. I was sat in the Platt Lane enjoying it. All goals scored in this end and the best football skill I have ever seen. Smeikel? threw the ball to the left wing and gigs in full flow took it on his left foot full stride and took it down the wing. Even then I resented the fact that he had been nicked form City. ‎

I'll get nostalgic for the old days when they are old, at the moment the memory of Barry getting sent off and the 90th minute at Wembley is all too vivid

Cardiff away anyone. One nil up 3-1 down. Complacent. You wont be in a weeks time

Barry getting sent off? If you mean the cup final red card then it isn't a very vivid memory.

Still hurts. Twenty years later and that game still hurts! Sure, it's got a little bit easier to cope with over the years but that collective panic growing over the kippax in everyone's face as we were surrendering the lead. I can still hear Keanes foot thumping the ball into the net and my ears are still ringing from having the "2-0 up and fucked it up" rammed back down our throats by the delirious United fans to the left...

More typical City: After the comeback against Tottenham United dumped us out 4-2 in the next round but we beat them 4-1(?) in the league a few weeks later .... Still in play here .... Wright Philips .... OH MY WORD PICK THAT ONE OUT, GOODNIGHT!! (We'd been shite around that time too)

To make it worse the rags had just blown a lead in Galatasary (sp) and we'd all been taking the piss with 'Two nil up and you fucked it up' or something similar only to get it rammed down our throats after.

I think the following year or so we were pissing them 3-1 and Reid was taken off as the game was over with 10 mins to go, we were lucky to get away 3-3 from that one.

Typical City was losing 1-0 at home to Middlesbrough despite Middlesbrough not having a single shot, either on or off target, in the match. The genius that was Sun Jihai scoring an own goal!

....... and wasn't Jihai's "genius" of conceding without the opposition getting a shot on target then repeated in a 1-1 home draw vs West Brom in 2004, with Dunney adding to his premier league record (own) goals tally?

That was a few seasons earlier. It was 90-91, not long after the anniversary of the 5-1 humiliation.
 
This has bugged me for years. Keegan promotion season. Rotherham at home. I could have fucking sworn Negouai scored with his hand and the referee booked him but let the goal stand.

One that I always remember ( not sure if there is a you tube clip ) is Danny tiatto away at middlesbrough running from own half and slamming the ball home .... Then to be given offside !
Yeah remember that. Huckerby at the far post who was clearly not interfering with play. Ended up getting relegated.
